I will say with Epps, the way he was embarrassed a little bit on tv is one thing I might have struggled with as a parent. Brad is a good coach, but needs to channel some of that emotion better.

In the end, Epps wanted more NIL money (closer to what some others were making) and a starting PG roll, neither of those were an option for Brad, that is why Epps is gone.

All the other “things” are just excuses.

So if we lose TSJ, who on the roster can take over the game offensively in the last 2 minutes? Who can create their own shot?

Still worried about our offense.

It'd probably be someone who isn't on the roster yet. That said, people may think I'm joking, but I really like Domask in those late game situations. While playing different positions, both statwise and filmwise, he's got more than a bit of Talor Battle to him. Unlimited range and if he does catch fire I could see him going for an 8-12 point run in the closing minutes. He's the type of guy you don't mind shooting the ball late from deep to get you back into it or to bury some daggers.

Check the stats out:
Talor Battle (Jr to Sr season):
OEFF: 1.092ppp
3pt%: 36.1%
2pt%: 48.1%
FT%: 72.7%
%Pos: 28%
OReb%: 1.9%
DReb%: 14.5%
AsstRate: 23.9
TORate: 12.9
Stl%: 1.6%
FTRate: 34.5
KPom Ranking: 900th

Marcus Domask (Jr-Sr season):
OEFF: 1.056ppp (-0.036)
3pt%: 34.8% (-1.3)
2pt%: 48.4% (+0.3)
FT%: 85.0% (+12.3)
%Pos: 27% (-1.0)
OReb%: 2.8% (+0.9)
DReb%: 16.9% (+2.4)
AsstRate: 25.9 (+2.0)
TORate: 16.7 (-3.8)
Stl%: 1.6% (0.0)
FTRate: 33.6 (-0.9)
KPom Ranking: 927th (-27)

Overall, pretty similar players with regards to stats outside from the obvious of them playing different positions and of Battle being a large volume 3 shooter compared to Domask being a medium volume three shooter with Domask being much better at FT and better at Rebounding and Assists and Battle being much better at turnover percentage and slightly better at 3pt shooting percentage and efficiency. So long and the short of it, despite the only decent 3pt shooting percentage, Domask is a guy whose clutchness makes him a late game threat in a close game. Just my 2 cents.

Just curious if the insiders (or others) have read/heard whether Epps got what his Illini NIL ask was, from Georgetown?

Not true. Lville Said there are 2 options that have been getting attention or having dialogue. Nothing said about more likely.

Reading comprehension is important

Lville said “There was legit buzz on him....but there have been two other guys that have become a lot more likely the last couple of days”
