Well I'm sure you do but those guys clearly aren't as smart or as qualified as everyone who posts on this board...I can tell you that college coaches and scouts don’t share the same thoughts

agree, Moretz was ready for college ball this year. Between now and October he is going to take off to another level.If I had to guess our 13 for next year ...
Guards:
Boswell, Maddox, Buck, DGL
Wings:
Storr, JD, Tre, Goode, Ty
Bigs:
Booth, Rez, Amani, Jakstys
FWIW my buddy who is a DIE HARD Louisville fan said he thinks Tre White is a good player he just needs to be on a better team and not be THE guy. Was forced to do too much at Louisville
Junior Boswell counts as young in today’s game?So the plan is to ride it out with the young guys in the backcourt? I mean I believe Morez and Amani would make it a top half backcourt in the Big Ten but they’re still young.
All looks good, except think White is in the mix with Goode/Davis. Can see small ball PF with Goode/Davis as well.PG-Boswell/DGL
SG- Storr/Harris
SF- Goode/Davis
PF-Hansberry/Rodgers/White
C-Morez
Brad is keeping with his length and size imperative. Lot of 6-4-6’8 athletes in there.
Boswell/Storr should keep us in the top half of the Big 10. Landing those 2 are the key to having a successful season next year.
Not sure how Rodgers/White/Hansberry all fit on the team tho.
it depends what your ultimate goal is. I would call the national championship match up exhibit A.Also if there is ever a year to not have a traditional big it’s next year in the big ten. Who’s the big guy?
No monster in the league like we’ve had recently. No Edey, No Kofi, No Garza, No TJD. Michigan State is playing Booker at the 5 he’s thin, OSU is playing Okpara at the 5 he’s thin, right now Minnesota is playing Garcia at the 5 and he’s a PF. Maybe we don’t need to add a true big. There is a reason we let Dainja walk.
You reading the the thread at all?Since there’s been a lot of talk about big men recently, Indiana State’s Robbie Avila is in transfer portal.
Never seen him play. Is he any good and, if so, is he someone the illini can target and possibly get?
There's like 20 new pages a day, its easy to miss infoYou reading the the thread at all?
As a longtime mostly lurker (devout follower of the old adage "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt"), I'm very familiar with the, ahem, wide variety of opinions on this board and the apparent lack of restraint in posting them.No. You cannot say something like "dishonest take" to the OP and then use "evidence" that is only substantiated by some social media posts of the fanbase of the dumpster fire program he is leaving. That is like me asking Philip Morris to give me their opinion on cigarettes causing lung cancer.
Furthermore, no one should hold it against any young man transferring out of the Louisville program. These guys took a chance on Payne and it did NOT work out for them. EVERYONE (except maybe one person) is leaving that program.
I am going to sound like a broken record here, but I think BU and staff has earned our trust on eyeing talent and putting together a team. I also understand this is a message board and everyone is allowed to voice different opinions, but that doesn't mean there aren't stupid opinions (like the earth is flat, English should be spoken in every country, or that Showgirls was not an Oscar-worthy film). We will never agree on the perfect roster for the Beloved, but we can, at least, give BU and staff a little credit.
Oh Heck e yeah...When i have seen him play and the game he has...This team is tailor made for him to excel, and to help make others better...He would be a PERFECT Illini..Sounds good to me! And if most of the roles are already set, Brad can go big name hunting for new additions next off season to compliment Fears.
AJ Dybantsa come on down?
I suppose message boards were created to give mass hysteria a place. The reactions still show a lack of trust in the coaching staff’s ability to choose the right players.They were underwhelmed when Damask was announced too. Everyone needs to trust Brad’s process. He hasn’t disappointed us yet when it comes to portal recruitment.
