Insiders what’s up with the tre white whispers?

There is smoke

 

[AZILL]

Tipton putting us at the bottom so we are cut off the preview...

I 100% guarantee you that one of my Illini brethren have already said this, but Imma gonna say it anyways..... Tipton saved The BEST for Last !!!!

Insiders what’s up with the tre white whispers?

Yeah I’m not a big fan of that tbh.

 

[TheodoreRex]

He and/or Small are at the top of my lead guard list. Both would be huge gets.

Isaac Trotter said the same thing. He had high praise for Small and similar excitement for Maddox.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Hard pass on Tre White…

 

[DAM1298]

Where’s the Tre White smoke coming from? Hadn’t heard his name mentioned

 

[FI_8905]

We really need a commitment to break some of these discussions lol.

Should add two over the next week or so.

NCAA and Insiders- "There won't be any news for a few days because of the dead period."


Loyalty...immediately after: "WHEN ARE WE GETTING A COMMITMENT???"

 

[Illiniprime]

Really don’t see the vision with Tre White…. At all.

 

[illiniwil]

i have to trust Brad on Tre White. i watch him and see a scoring machine,
i don't know if he plays defense and i don't know if he wants to win/be part
of a winning team. if he does, he's super talented and can lead a team in
some of the ways TS Jr. did.

from the real insiders

He’s got plenty of ability….was on a terrible Louisville team. Brad thinks they can develop him. A guy who played a little bootyball at Louisville last year and hit a tough 2s

 

[Wrightandjohnstreet]

Interesting on the Tre White development, particularly given that his name hasn't been mentioned once prior to today

That would be disappointing if he comes and we lose out on some of the other big names mentioned.

 

[Tacomallini]

2023 wasn't good. It was sub-par by our program's standards and it certainly wasn't up to Brad's standards. Really the only frame of reference from which 2023 looked good is if you're comparing it to the late Weber / Groce years. That's a testament to how good our program is as much as anything.

That being the case, we don't get to 2024 without 2023. We brought in an entirely new roster, trimmed the fat, and ended up with a core that brought us a BTT championship and an Elite Eight.

2 important criteria, imho, for a successful season: NCAA tournament and finishing in the top 25. 2022-3 team accomplished the former, but not the latter. The first round loss to Arkansas still stings though.

I’ll reserve judgement until I see the full picture in a month or two. I thought the dorsal commit was a little lackluster and we all saw how that worked out

I see a talented and crafty scorer who plays a VERY analytics-unfriendly game.

 

[SuperIllini34]

Tre White’s already been at 3 HSs and 2 colleges. This would be his 3rd college in 3 years. He def has talent (35 RSCI). Reminds of a Guerrier where’s he is dependable veteran that you know can play high major basketball

So did Domask…..but I don’t think Tre is penciled in the starting lineup

 

[MurphysBurger]

When you score 80+ points in a college big ten game and lose....

 

[MurphysBurger]

When you score 80+ points in a big ten game and lose..... guess you never heard the phrase defense wins championships?

Tell me you'd rather still have Harmon over Harris this past year.

 

[BradUnderwoodLover]

Hard pass on Tre White…

He’s horrible

 

[MurphysBurger]

It means he doesn't care about playing defense and rather put 5 guys on the floor who can score rather than play a defensive minded player.

Was Harmon worth sitting Harris this year?
