Would take Goldin in a heartbeat

I would think there is a strong possibility he is wanting to follow his coach.

lol yeah, I expect all the FAU guys to go to scUM

I would be shocked if him and Johnell Davis don’t both go to Michigan

Well sure, I think we all would. But so would his coach, Dusty May. At Michigan.

Dude gets in a lot of foul trouble

I want everyone to think about this time after the 2021 season when Ayo and Kofi declared for the draft, when Adam Miller declared to transfer and when we lost both of our assistant coaches to Kentucky.

Now look at our recruiting situation.

Brad reloads.

Even with their admissions restrictions? Remember, they basically have to have a degree in hand unless they want to lose a bunch or credits. Not sure where any of these guys are at from an academic standpoint.

Yep, plus with Tarris in the portal, UM needs a big.

sounds like a fun guy to have to guard at Michigan. I have a feeling they won't be the punching bag they were under Howard.

Not so fast. Their NIL money is mostly earmarked toward football. That was one of Hunter's big complaints.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see more enter the portal and some of them end up at Michigan. Dusty May knows how to coach and I think his guys trust him.

Goodman said on Field of 68 that May only took the Michigan job because he got assurances from them that they were going to be cooperative with admissions. Otherwise he’d have taken the Louisville job.

Looking at Jake Davis he reminds me of Goode. If Goode leaves we def have a younger Goode in this guy. Size and shooting. I like this guy. Illinois has to be familiar with him since he’s from Indy

For sure, but May had his pick of several jobs… for him to pick UM I’m guessing some promises would have had to be made about things being different

Good news! Wossamotta U wants me to start a fan site! I said thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy here at Illinois Loyalty. Thanks to all of you - and Dan.

Great point. Would be great, though, if BU was able to lure him to an Elite program, provided he goes after him.

Vlad at least will be a 5th year. Assuming he finished his degree, transfer credits aren't a problem.

 

[Illinirog70]

All these guys listed give me a he ones that are we not me and willing to sacrifice a little of each for the success of the whole.

[Joel Goodson]

These three plus Maddox in the Harmon / Sixth man role would be an incredible haul

yep. big dog status confirmed

 

[PepeSilvia]

So is Boswell/Storr/Raynaud like, the dream transfer scenario here? A PG, a scoring wing, and a big?

After 2 games against Edey and one against Clingan this year, I would love a 7-1, dunking, rim protecting machine. And Raynaud's got a competent 3 point shot and top-500 FT% to boot.

Dream scenario is Coleman and Domask returning. Add Storr, a center, and a guard. Slide storr into tsj spot on offense and keep rolling.

Could be…but Michigan doesn’t seem like a team poised to make a run in the BTT, let alone the NCAA.

They will be pretty decent when they wind up with pretty much the whole FAU starting lineup

 

[altgeld88]

Could be…but Michigan doesn’t seem like a team poised to make a run in the BTT, let alone the NCAA.

They seem a bit like LSU when Ace Wolf transferred there and they'd lost nearly the entire team.

[PepeSilvia]

Everyone minus Luke, Sencire, and Nico I all have confirmed will 99% be back next year. Expect 2/3 of these guys to be gone

Luke? Say it ain't so. It better be the other two tough I think both can be good college players(Sencire might even have more upside if he can develop offensively).

 

[hoopsfan47]

I had the same thought Brosky. Davis looks polished for a freshman.

What I like about Davis' stroke is that he shoots a jump shot...released from around 9-10 ft. off the floor...very quickly with accuracy. That is the type of shooter that can score at any time against anyone. That is the type of shooter I like to see, not guys who need space to flick it up from their chest. Some guys do that but need to gather and take forever to jump, lift, and release, but Davis seems to fire away quickly with accuracy like Reddick or Chapman. Just my preference as it makes more sense. There are, of course, a few who copy Curry, but not from the distance at which he is effective or with the same accuracy.

If they wouldn't make those promises to Howard, why would they make them for May?
