Is there any chance at all Tyger can still opt for school?
Every single piece of info we get from insiders is just the best information at that time. You cannot expect them to predict the unpredictable. They can't assure you of something that isn't certain. There is no 100% lock until the player is on the court. Anything before then is just 100% confidence.What's your conclusion?
I too am angry about the lack of food discussion
Sound like an chicken and egg issue.SIMHO Ray J isnt coming here with out a for sure commitment from TJ Coleman or both.

Best chain pizza?I too am angry about the lack of food discussion
My thoughts on this post are that we have removed ourselves from the field, fed up with the dance and with an alternative that has higher player value-to-NIL quotient.Illini went from locked favorites to not even in the picture?
Yes to UCLA … He did not graduate so cannot transfer without a waiver … Which he would not get …
No such beast.Best chain pizza?
Same here. Collins is also a good defender. Was named to the A10 all-defensive teamI think it's more prudent to look at assist/turnover ratios than overall numbers. His was 2.8, which was around top 30 in the country. When the ball is in your hands as often as it was for Collins, you will have turnovers.
Dennis' ratio was slightly better. He is obviously a better scorer. It's not hard to see why the staff is pulling out all the stops for Dennis, but if we get Yuri as a consolation prize, consider me consoled.
Pfffft…. What does ChatGPT know?
It says he graduated from UCLA here so maybe he could grad transfer? Idk I'm just curious and this is very far-fetched
We’re going to be fine…I know we are freaking out about Ray...does all of this change the timeline for the Beloved? Do we have to wait another month for our PG?
Another note… on Saturday Sportstalk, former Illini assistant coach Mark Coomes said that players often enter the portal or the draft with intentions to graduate but ultimately stop going to class. They can “police” them while they’re still on the team, but once they enter the portal or declare for the draft, they have no leverage to force them to go to class… they can only encourage them to do so.

Those are some crazy true colors.Every single piece of info we get from insiders is just the best information at that time. You cannot expect them to predict the unpredictable. They can't assure you of something that isn't certain. There is no 100% lock until the player is on the court. Anything before then is just 100% confidence.
Some people self inflict a lot of pain by not understanding that.
There's no need to emotionally react until RayJ announces whatever. Then you swallow the bitter pill but don't whine, complain, or be a .
Personally: wait to see RayJ play out, go to the next option if needed, do the best with the next option. Get our roster locked. Form a good TEAM. That's how I look at it.
Or… did our insider go on vacation because this all happened?This all happened because our insider said he was going on vacation
But if a rumor floated out there can turn $500,000 into $600,000, maybe a rumor needs to be floated.I can’t imagine this is just a bidding war, we must have significantly bigger pockets than Utah. I’m wondering what exactly changed.

So are we all just supposed to ignore that you guys have said nothing but RayJ for 2 months & be happy that we lost out on a lock. Like hey let’s post some pictures of Yuri Collins like nothing happened lol…. would love to have Yuri FWIW but way too soon for this….
