That's not what I was asking at all lol

"What's the story with this guy?" - as in: Does anyone have any info or background on this player?
Went to St. Vincent St. Mary with Sencire Harris, then Parkland College as a freshman, and has played the last two years at Wheeling University in West Virginia in D2. So he'd have one year to play.

I doubt he's a consideration for us but who knows.

Jake Davis should announce his commitment to Illinois here soon. Not exactly a secret anymore. He's a very good shooter with three years left, which I really like-we will turn our attention to a lead guard, two wings, and a stretch 4/5 now

Really nice get as a role player for the next 3 years, and we will see if he can develop into a very good starting level B10 player in the future. Now they will go big name hunting.

Otega Oweh is someone I am keeping an eye on. Couple more guys as well that have not entered the portal yet

A couple of guard candidates right now


Oweh struggled later in the year, particularly with turnovers and found himself coming off the bench. But he's a big guard that can defend and gets to the free throw line. Halfway between Shannon and Harmon both in style and quality, let's say. He'd have two years to play.

Maddox is a bit undersized for a combo guard but can really shoot it. A lot of overlap with DGL's skillset, but with only one year to play.

If Maddox were to come here he would play the Harmon role and likely be a significant upgrade especially offensively. Right now they are targeting more role player types-the big fish will be in the coming weeks

is this one of those situations similar to Domask where the staff found a player they liked and shut it down quickly before they had to deal with other teams?

Added Maddox to our ever growing list. Also placed Jake Davis on "Commitment Watch" based on Lville's post above. Link to tracker.

I'm not going to try to spam with screenshots too much, but will try to post roughly once a day when there are updates there is at least a link in my signature for people to use. It will generally stay up to date throughout the work day hours, and I'll usually catch up with evening posts in the mornings.

All I care is Brad brings in the style and type of players who can have the culture that we all see every time they show our locker room. I don't need a team that goes undefeated. I don't need a team that doesn't blow a game or two it shouldn't have. I just want a team just like this years......together as one...together as a famILLy. In Brad we trust!!!
