If Brad pulls this off, he’s the undisputed portal king.

Boswell

Storr

Storr much more impressive scoring. Boswell would address our need for true PG. I would think both plan to play 1 more year than go to NBA.

Let's say February, fair enough.

From Feb 1 onward:

2019: 6-6
2023: 4-7

We were not a good basketball team at any point in 2019, but you could see we had some pieces developing. 2023 was such a mess.

(I don't even know why we're having this argument tbh)

Weird argument but the 2023 team was just way more talented. Also, I love Giorgi but that 2019 had no size. Dain would have cooked them.

I have said all along ... Over signing by 1 is on the table ...

Ty stays ... We oversign by 1 ...

PG - Boswell/Harris
SG - Maddox/DGL
SF - Storr/Hill/Davis
PF - Amos/Rodgers/Goode
C - Morez/Amani/Booth/Jakstys as a redshirt

So Garrison is no longer an option? Bummer, I liked his rounded game Off & Def. best of everyone we have been talking about.

Lol. You're asking what role he can have and then saying he literally does everything else well except shoot.

Draymond Green was a key piece that won 4 NBA championships and he wasn't a shooter. Shooting is great but it's college basketball. You don't need every player to be a shooter at all times.

He just played a major role on the 2nd best offense in the country. Yeah he didn't shoot and he needs to improve on finishing at the rim but Illinois had a bunch of other guys to take shots.

He was a starter, but had a diminished role as the season went on because his presence on the court prevented a lot of the offensive effectiveness gained from being able to stretch out defenses (similar to Dain, but Ty wasn't finishing at the rim as effectively as Dain).

What was a 20-25 minute per game role at the start of last year had shrunk to a mostly 15 minute per game role at the end of the year, and could be even smaller going forward unless he can bring something of value to late game situations.

Green developed a jump shot out of nowhere between his sophomore and junior seasons. He shot 36% junior year and 38% senior year from 3 after attempting 3 total 3 point shots his first two seasons. If Ty is on this arc, we are gonna be cooking with gas.

Not trying to rain on your parade. However, IMHO, DD has done little to nothing regarding important technique adjustments to improve his FT shooting. Bonner was spot on with one....he has too many body parts moving in too many directions. A couple of other things need to be addressed, but I...

Which is why Butler reopened his recruitment. Until Illinois starts regularly bringing in top 30 kids (Morez & Fears) freshman playing time will be limited (Hansberry & DGL). Not sure it is my preferred method of building a program, but can't complain about the 23-24 results.

Does 24-25 look like 23-24? or 22-23? Obviously too early to answer that but will be interesting to watch this playout.

Besides Hawkins, Frazier, DaWilliams has Coach underwood had any other guys start and finish at Illinois?

This is the new CBB and it is perfect for us. We weren't winning the 4 year game so the portal and quick fixes are perfect. This isn't to say it is the only way, but it does well holding us over until we find those guys.

Sure. But the 2023 Illini >>>>> 2019 Illini.

2023 was a lot better than many Illini years. I'm not sure what your point is.

we have two all out portal NIL years to compare for our team. One featured massive turnover. The other didn't. The massive turnover year was a disappointment to everyone from Underwood on down (do you want me to quote all the made for March quotes that appeared in June 2022?). This year was excellent.

Once again. This is a small sample size. So perhaps we can create a bunch of 2023 clones and grab a top 4 seed instead of an 8 seed. Quite frankly, I'm not sure. But lots of people want to ignore 2023 and basically seem to think that it offers no guidance for the future. I guess we'll see.

would Ballo want to play with Boswell again?

Dream scenario given Hawkins/Domask are gone seems like

Boswell/Harris
Maddox/DGL
Storr/Hill/Davis
Amos/Ty/Luke
Ballo/Morez//Jakstys

For those who followed Indiana State this year, what is your take on Jayson Kent? Can he play defense, good teammate, etc? After Indy posted his profile, I became intrigued with his stats - 74.5% on 2s, .366 on 3s, .837 FTs. He led the nation in 2 point % as a 6'7" guard, the next guard on the list was at #19. That sure looks like a shooters profile to me.

Haven’t read all the comments. Saw a list of transfer rankings. Size and 3pt% caught my eye. I think he could be a good addition at the 4. Colemanesque on offense. I know less than nothing fwiw.

Thankfully we already know Jase is soft so we won't have to worry about recruiting him again.
