Heard he is ours to lose at this point
The OG EDG. What are the odds he makes his way to the staff?

Maybe some place that servesSo uh…. Where do we sit with Storr?
?He was a liability in only 3 games....2 vs Purdue and 1 vs UConn. In all other games, he was either a wash or used his quickness and experience to gain advantage and make it tough for opponents to score. His shot blocking was outstanding most of the time.
I watched CoHawk defend fairly closely in every game and he was not easily moved and certainly not physically dominated by anyone but those two.
Furthermore, I did not see anyone dominate either Klingan or Edey. And in spite of Clingan, by himself without double help, made Edey work hard for every bucket he scored....while allowing his teammates to keep Purdue off the three point arc. This of course was a brilliant strategy that most opponents would like to have done for the past two years, but literally no one had the personnel to pull it off. But, IMHO, Hawk defended the post remarkably well.
M- ... Merry Ann's?Maybe some place that serves
Was this a groce recruit or a Brad recruit?
Can still remember talking myself into believing this guy would be a starter in the B1G…
Brad. Decommitted from UIC if I remember right
Comparing him to the best player in program history that went 3rd overall and was an all pro caliber NBA player might be a bit of a stretch.
I get it from the build that Deron needed to lose weight and Boswell but probably would benefit from getting leaner and quicker.
TJD never took 3s or barely even a mid range shots.. i don’t see the comparison.
I could see Morez being more like TJD but more physical
Kipper nichols!!!
He’s still balling professionally so it could take a while
Sorry but anyone saying Boswell isn’t a take…. LOL.
Anthony Higgs?

Spicy G!
It’s insane lol. 5-star, not even 19 for another week or two and was the best guard on the floor with Caleb Love, Jared McCain, Tyrese Procter and Jeremy Roach earlier this year…
Kid can bomb from 3, has shown very impressive passing chops and has a great build for a guard. He’s been inconsistent, yes, but playing next to Caleb Love ain’t easy and again, he’s 18.

Omg....baby face Trent and Ayo..
The player to Trent's left is wearing uniform number 22 and according to the 2018-2019 basketball roster, number 22 was worn by Anthony Higgs.
Anthony Higgs didn't have any stats according to the Fighting Illini.com website and doing a search on the Internet I didn't see much for Anthony Higgs as far as basketball was concerned.
Here's all I could find for Anthony Higgs basketball career after college:
Here's his information from the Fighting Illini.com website.
Carey Booth is nothing like Trayce Jackson Davis. Brandon Garrison would be a closer comparison to TJD.
I'm personally not thrilled with the prospect of a 6'10" guy that took over 60% of his shots from 3 and hit less than 30% of them. A "post player" shooting 39% from the field? Booth looks like a great athlete, but also a 6'10" SG that's not a great shooter.
Give me Max Raynaud or Brandon Garrison. I'm sure Underwood sees Coleman Hawkins when he looks at Booth. If Booth can make a jump like Coleman did from Jr to Sr year, ok. But Coleman made a pretty big jump. That is not common for any player.

Because you cannot make a logical argument we win or lose based on something we didn't have. You cannot say, "if we had __________ the result would've been ___________."
So he‘ll be here with Booth?

Neazy, my friend, I don't think many folks here understand the fallacies of logic.
