That Curbelo edit is actually kind of sick.
What did you think is happening in the first and third?....
I believe an insider on one of these boards casually mentioned that it's not Brad's fault if Harmon didn't have his grades in order. It was thrown out there when discussing who's scholarship might open up if Illini found a real point guard for this upcoming season. I read many Illini boards and it was shortly after RayJ went elsewhere. I apologize in advance to anyone offended.
I am doing quite well, all things considered. Much better than I would have imagined at this point. Thanks for asking. How about yourself?
Staff would love to take a PG and knows it’s top priority but they have no leads or interest from anyone good enough to play in the big ten after they struck out of RayJ and assumed Yuri would be interested as backup but never actually had an ounce of interest. They’d rather go try to get Reaves because even though he doesn’t fill their biggest need, he’s a solid player that can contribute. But if there were any real PG options they’d prioritize that over Reaves
Wait so was Curbelo on the Pruman diet or the Brooks Koepka at the Panthers game diet?
Someone leaves.

Doesn’t that have something to do with a bullfrog?

I'm hanging in there.......just saw your post and thought I would check on ya...........glad to hear your ok...............
We don't win recruiting battles very often so let's move on.
Surely no…right?
Well, Peewee isn’t in a movie theatre, so I am not sure about him, but Batman looks super constipated!
And one of those “remaking the roster” transfers will be Nick Krass, guard from Oregon State. Not likely to be a big contributor next year, but it was the only thing I could add on the subject.
I still can't beleive we don't have a true point guard?!?!?! We haven't had good guards since Self was here. Brad really screwed da pooch on this one no doubt about it.
Indeed, All American, Bob Cousy Award Winner Ayo Dosunmu was trash. Could not agree more

Throwing out a "point" name from the current transfer portal because point guard discussion is interesting. We lived through the Groce years. We exalted through the Ayo! years. We Curbelo'd our enthusiasm during the pre- and post-concussion years. We're not yet 100% sold on Jeremiah Williams.
Apparently there is some hope that a senior point guard fulfills his graduation requirements in the coming months and elects to be a last-minute grad transfer... but this guy who has played one year of college ball is an intriguing player: Mike Sharavjamts.
He's Mongolian and his father was a Harlem Globetrotter. A 6'8" point forward who played his freshman year at Dayton, entered the portal, declared for and then withdrew from the NBA draft. He averaged 6 points and 3 assists in 23 minutes per game for Dayton.
The Sports Illustrated draft scouting report says that "he can play as a jumbo point guard who is not just able to create for teammates, but also to space the floor with tremendous consistency, being a threat from beyond the 3-point line.... Sharavjamts possesses a vast passing repertoire. He does all the simple things expected of a point forward, such as running the point in transition and making the right plays on drives with effective drive-and-kick passes, but also adds an advanced level of passing which is rare for a player of his size."
Sharavjamts named a top 5 of Indiana, Memphis, Nebraska, Pittsburgh and San Francisco but we know how there's room for new developments.
Would Sharavjamts make us better next year over someone who's on the roster now? Do his skills translate to initiating offense in the Big Ten? How valuable are his 3 years of eligibility? Does Geoff Alexander have contacts in Mongolia?

Let’s assume you meant we haven’t brought in good guards, since Dee, Deron, and Luther were still here after Self. In that case, we’ve only had seven guards make All Big Ten teams in that time. Name calling isn’t nice, so I’ll just wish you a lovely evening, good sir.
Do you remember a guy named Trent Frazier from a long time ago?
reeves in harmon out.
I am not a big fan of Reeves. Last year when we were looking at him coming out of isu, didn't someone do a breakdown that he is one of the worst defenders in the valley?
