What big rim protectors are left, or are speculated to enter the portal in the near future. I've seen several referenced on this site but don't know if they have committed elsewhere.
WE NEED ONE!!

Rumblings that Duke is gonna lose Mackenzie Mgbako … Wow …
Will we show any interest in the Syracuse big?
The Covid rules says 6 years of eligibility to play 4 full seasons (not 5). The covid year does not count as a full year. So you get 4 full years and a Covid year.
Nah … Need our funds for other guys …

The rather obvious subtext, yes. We've gotta make it worth their while to put off their professional ambitions and roll the dice on another college season.
I have no inside knowledge, but I would also advise paying folks like Harris, Hansberry, Goode, etc more than they're "worth" strictly speaking.
I suspect as we start to Moneyball this over the coming years, development and continuity in a system will come to have a pretty healthy price placed on it.

To who?
With him being from Jersey and Chet around that area for a time, any interest there with either party?
I wish there was less smoke around this Tyger situation. Maybe it is just being gun shy from the past close devasting losses on the recruiting trail but I feel like UI has done better in quiet recruiting events. Just feels like these situations never play out positively for the good guys.

I’d keep an eye out for two other top 50 kids to potentially ask out of NLIs … Both guards …
Anyone we'd be familiar with? And does this tie together with your previous post about Illinois saving NIL money for others?

We just aren’t going to spend big money on a big guy when we’ve got Dainja … TJ and Coleman gonna need money … The new PG is gonna need money …
We’re very familiar with one … The other one we’ve got some connections to as well but has never visited …
Fears?
I think he’s talking about bigs. The LSU center has visited here and should be cheap
