Is there any time frame on when we should hear about Domask's waiver? And any update on which way Coleman is leaning?
Domask is at the whim of the NCAA… we know how the timing goes for that.

Good news on the Hawkins front won’t be until late May I’d assume and I’d expect him leaving could be announced at any point.

Will be interesting to see what our defensive philosophy is next year and how we recruit to that.

Post Kofi, we’ve gone with positional size and switching, but we’ve seen the limitations of that as we had trouble keeping guards out of the paint, bigger players are easier to screen, and teams can use switches to hunt mismatches.

If Sencire truly is back, he and DGL seem more in the Trent/DaMonte
/Ayo mold. Smaller but great on ball and hard to screen. I wonder if we go back to the ice/drop coverage we ran in 2021. If that’s the case I think we should prioritize an elite rim protector and Garrison from OK St would top my list.

If we prioritize bigs who are more versatile and stretch the floor, that leads me to believe we will continue down the position less basketball path and makes me wonder about the long term roster fit with both DGL and Sencire.

It would be great to get AJ committed and locked in - that would be a nice domino to attract other top transfers - particularly the big men that want to know they are going to a good team so they can thrive. AJ committing this week before the visits thursday can be huge boost

Cooking reminds me of bacon.

Bacon comes from pigs.

Pigs are animals.

Babies love animals.

Babies are delivered by Storks. Or can you pick one up from the store?

Store.

More like Storr.
a storr is a place to buy things
"Things" are a never-ending term

Dawgs in an Illini uniform are the best

Already very crowded with 6 rotation guys before any major transfers. I worry for Ty a bit.
I see mostly rotation / situational players on the guys returning & incoming freshman - Probably 1 starter and maybe 2 getting significant minutes (>20)

Perfect set-up for the Portal players, eh?
