Still obviously a lot more to come. Gonna add 4-5 guys in the portal this offseason

What about Domask’s waiver

Not a shocker here

Waiting for an answer

 

[Illini90]

Waiting for an answer

Are you expecting Aj Storr in an Illini uniform next year?

If this gets granted, there needs to be a 5-year moratorium minimum on any talk of our program being cursed.

 

[Luwdoo]

As long as Ty, Luke, Dain, Dra, Amani and Sencire are not among the 1 or 2 transfers from our current roster that are leaving, I'm ok with it. Really want to keep this young group of players that has bought into the ILLINI chemistry and culture together as the foundation for the portal transfers to join and blend with. Every Day Guys for me, even if it means one or two less potentially more talented transfers.

That leaves only Moretti.

 

[2qtslow]

I assume BU has already reached out yeah?

Only problem is that Skyy wants all his NIL money up front before he transfers. Trust me, he says.

 

[Joel Goodson]

don't know squat about this kid, but evidently we've contacted him:

I thought that Wolf wasn't on the radar. Has that changed?

 

[Troop44]

Wolf is definitely a good contrast from Dain. Probably fits better than Reed would, although I would rather have Reed I think. Both sophomores .... will be a very interesting portal that is for sure!

 

[Joel Goodson]

depends on who you ask

6'3? Did he grow? He looked 5'10 out there last year.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Storr is from Illinois and previously committed to Illinois. He is likely further ahead of TSJ st same stage. If he is in the portal, possibly best replacement for TSJ. Add Crews as a Domask replacement and possibly a Knect type player to replace Coleman. Like Kylan but will have plenty guards next year, what do we do with Sincere, Ty, Moretti, and Gibbs.

Skyy Clark in the portal ...

Now, that he's 6'3, let's give him a second chance?

 

[CleverHandle1]

We already have three open spots for next year and will have one to two transfers. Most of the guys will be back next year but there will be one or two to leave

What about the three incoming Freshmen? I would hope Morez and Butler get playing time, no?

We will need to add some big time transfers to go with those guys if we are to realistically contend for another championship.

it’s hard to play all 13 guys on the roster. Even if Jakstys redshirts, it’ll be hard to keep 12 guys happy with playing time

Watched him play a few times this year and I know hes a stash guy but with our momentum I would much rather have that ride open. I trust Brad way more than me on evals so we will see what happens

 

[therealmiket86]

Remember not every player can be a big money nil guy. He can be a developmental prospect that will play as a redshirt junior.

Will he, though?

 

[therealmiket86]

Will he, though?

Nothing is guaranteed, but would you rather spend big nil on your 13th player who won’t get any game action. That money is better used towards us getting an alpha

4 transfers means Luke Goode gone (he already graduated), 5 means Moretti gone. Or swap the two. Imo.

Unfortunately, I have really warmed up to Goode lately…

Wouldn’t surprise me to see dgl leave. I like him but I think he will want a bigger role.

I expect Goode will stay. I imagine Sencire, Nico, and DGL could be possibilities.
