We’re not worried anymore because whoever it is will make us his second choice anyways.

He didnt do anything wrong our coaching staff did in waiting for him

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
But we were inexperienced and very new to one another. A lot of these guys will have played together for over a year by the time the season starts (not the transfers or freshmen, but TSJ, Hawkins, Goode, Dain, Rodgers, and Harris is a great nucleus of chemistry). Last year there wasn't any chemistry. And Goode is healthy, he'll be a key factor. Chemistry will make a huge difference. While I would like a veteran PG, I like our roster. We have a lot of talented players, players that can play/guard different positions, and a handful of dogs. I feel like this will be a lot closer to the team with Frazier/Ayo where they played for one another than last year's team.

Go Illini!
There are grad transfers not in the portal that can join still. There will be a lot of nervous schools the next few days.
No ones' "fault" but RayJ's. Hope we face them in the final four this year.

I think this is a fair talking point.
Anyone know the story with Trey Woodbury? From what I can see he’s played 5 years but only played 2 games one year(presumably due to injury) and so would need a waiver. I’ve seen reports that he’s in the portal but have seen conflicting information as to whether his waiver was approved or denied. Anyone know whether he is an option?
We aren’t fully recovered from a couple bad hires (BW, MT, JG), but Baylor can systematically cover up a series of VIOLENT crimes in its two revenue sports and they are rewarded with perennial top-15 contenders in both. Cool, cool cool cool. This some bullsh*t.
What exactly is Geoff’s role? How does he benefit the team/staff?
This would only be true if we had a crystal ball (a real one) that allows us to see what other players on the roster are doing.
Holy crap that's funny!!!! Lmao!!!Live shot of Ty and his new College Point Guard study guide…
We had TSJ, Mayer, Hawkins, and a bunch of guys who played little or no college basketball. How is that experienced?
Ah, thank you. Good context there. Yikes.

Everybody breathe.
It’s not that. I trust the perception from those with closer ties in the program. There’s frustration because they know the realistic backup plan isn’t a good one at the moment. That could change but Underwood is gambling with such a crucial position.
Watch what happens with Antonio Reeves at Kentucky
Yes, I think Josh is super-thrilled. Why wouldn't he be? This team is already better than last year and we will definitely have a better point guard than last year. The "second weekend" depends on many factors that we have no idea about now.
If we're going to do that, shouldn't TSJ just play point? Seems they're similar players - scoring guard with size (TSJ a bit taller). Reeves' assist numbers across his career doesn't indicate to me that he would be ideal for the role.
Do you think TJS and Hawk would have come back if Caleb Love would have committed? I mean there's wanting to play with an experienced point guard and there's also never seeing the ball without crashing the offensive glass.
