As I understand it, Dennis visited Illinois, Michigan and Baylor. But several mentions of competing with Indiana for Dennis. Was there another visit (that I missed)?

Word (of insiders) is/was that he's coming back to us some time this week for an additional visit, and that a commitment should be forthcoming shortly thereafter. I don't recall hearing about an IU visit.

"RayJ Dennis or bust" they say for the Illini. Don't like how extreme that sounds. Here is to hoping for RayJ then.

Early in season
- Dain unstoppable inside
- TSJ raining 3's
- great full court pressure defense Sencire and Coleman

Late in season
- MM scoring
- Death lineup with Sencire, Coleman, RJ, TSJ and Ty shutting down other teams scoring for 8 minute periods

Our inability to do both at end of season resulted in early B10 tournament exit and NCAA tourney exit. Unlike previous three seasons the team did not improve significantly between November and March. It kept changing but never came together at higher level.

I am hoping 2023-4 will be different. Even without TSJ and Coleman we have a lot of talent.

Inside scoring - Dain
Defense/rebounding - Ty, Amari. Quincy (avg 8.8 rpg at Syracuse as a freshman)
Perimeter defense - Sencire
Shooting - Luke, Marcus

Unknowns
PG - DGS, Nico, (RAYJ???)
SG - Justin H
