But given our wings And need to back up Hawk it looks very possible Hansberry will.

I wonāt celebrate till I see his own announcement. I feel Baylor makes a lot of sense with Flagler leaving. But maybe thatās just me trying to reverse jinx it

The Achilles or the FG? Lol good enough to be a plan B
The late timing of Yuriās announcement makes me wonder if it was tied to the next domino falling at Illinois. I doubt he ever was considering returning to SLU. But I am probably overthinking it.
You guys getting pretty tired of his process like us?
Tomorrow ā¦ Lunch time ā¦ We will have our answer ā¦

At lunchtime tomorrowā¦ Iāll be all outta bubble gum
If Dennis comes, weāll have returned 60% of our minutes from last year and will also add 330 starts between the four transfers. Iām not even going to bother looking up if weāve ever had a team with that much experience before.
I saw a lot of folks talking about Baylor being a better spot for RayJ to land 24 hours ago, but given the events of tonight, can anyone honestly look at their current roster and say he has a better chance of making a final 4 there?
Baylor has some quality prospects, no doubtā¦ butā¦
The Illini have a bunch of grown men with something to prove.
Iād love to be a fly on the wall at the first few practices. There are going to be a couple very good basketball players who rarely break a sweat on tv during B1G season.
Consider us reloaded.

I'm stoked. I think we end up with a great starting PG either way. My kiddos think Sencire is the GOAT on defense, so it's a win win. I'm just happy CoHawk and TJ are back.
RayJ/TBD
TJ
Coleman
Harmon
Domask
Rodgers
Dain
Sencire
Luke
Quincy
Hansberry
2 or 3 of those guys will likely not play much during B1G play. Thatās the best problem weāve had in a long long time.
DGL too. Gonna be hard to find him minutes unless heās truly someone special.

There aren't many "jump off the page" guys on this roster but damn if that isn't a busload of solid competitors with some combination of experience and/or something to prove.
If RayJ comes, that would be three guys that many considered potential 2nd round picks. How ājump off the pageā are we looking for? I would think any of those 3 could be first team all Big Ten.
If I had to venture a guess.
Transfer PG - 28
Shannon - 28
Domask - 22
Rodgers - 22
Hawkins -28
Dainja - 15
Goode - 16
Harmon - 16
Guerrier -15
Harris - 10
I don't really think the freshman group of Hansberry, DGL, Moretti will really get much run unless they are way better than advertised or injuries.
Obviously I don't want to really mention it but injuries and guys getting banged up are inevitable but it is a deep and talented roster. It will cut down to a core group by March but early in the year I wouldn't be surprised to see some hockey style subs to try to keep guys fresh.
I think some of it will be matchup dependent but you have two returning guys in Shannon and Hawkins that played heavy minutes, 4 transfers that have played heavy minutes if you figure transfer PG, Harmon, Domask, and Guerrier, and 4 younger guys that have been in the program and imo flashed enough to get some playing time in Goode, Rodgers, Harris, and Dainja. With 10 guys there just isn't a ton of minutes to go around especially to the freshman though you figure Hansberry might play some.
Didnāt mention him on purpose. Wonāt play and doubt heās here come January.
Agreed. But even beyond the whole āpop off the pageā opinionā¦. If you can average ~20p/r/a for the entirety of a season at the D1 level, you can hang just about anywhere. Weāre going to have 7(?) guys that have done that. Thatās unheard of. Thatās the best part about this team & what separates them from last year or the year priors squad. 7/8th, or 7/9th or 10th of our rotation however it plays out is proven. This isnāt a group built on āraw talentā or āpotentialāā¦. Itās a legitimate basketball team.

Is it Lunch time yet? It is in Europe, does that count?
