Too bad , so sad , I'm glad.......................I read a couple of those way too early mock top 25's that had puke at # 1 for next year .....wonder what they are saying now ...................lol..............I know they have the # 1 recruiting class coming in , but any bad news about puke just makes my day.........It really really does....................
Pringle isn't the sexiest pick but he's long, athletic, and bouncy. You could do worse if you're looking for a guy that can defend out to the perimeter, provide some rim protection, and dunk while splitting time with Morez.
Pretty perfect for our needs assuming a reasonable price.
Does the dirty work, rebounds at both ends, all his shots are putbacks and dunks at the rim, and he'll keep Booth, Morez, Hawkins, whoever from getting overexposed at the 5.
Played at Dodge City (KS) C.C., where BU coached before he was born
Why would they take Booth and vise versa if Coleman was coming back. I hope so just doesn't seem realistic
That’s a fools bet!! For one he can’t get his own shot, two he is not a good ball handler and three he can’t guard no one even if they were in a phone boothI'm baffled by everyone's assumption that Luke Goode will not be a starter next year. If healthy, given his 3 point shooting prowess, great teammate chemistry with 4 years experience in the program knowing Brad's systems inside out along with his important role this year from near the end of the Big Ten season on, I will go on record as saying that I will bet my beach house that he is in the starting line-up for the first game no matter who is added to the roster. But given that OA will soon join the staff, I will hedge my bet a bit as to WHICH beach house is the subject of this bet:

If Brad levels up another transfer to the extent TSJ and Domask leveled up, he is going to start getting a reputation.
TSJ as a freshman had TS of 57% on 22% usage and 24 minutes per game, with ORtg/DRtg of 112/93 and WS/40 of 0.178. His 3pt% was low, but he got to the line at a ridiculous rate to bring his TS up. He fouled a lot and didn't have many assists, but he contributed with rebounds, steals, and blocks. Even with obvious things to improve on, he was already very very good at helping his team win. @NarrowJ , I'm curious who you think is as proven as that.
Bravo you son of a Beach Boy
I’d love Humrichous. So much Riley Minix to his game
The days of the recruiting ace asst coach are over, whether H.S. or portal. NIL trumps that. Being well-connected is still important, but even more-so the ability to scout the Domasks and other young transfers and extrapolate their potential and fit on your yearly brand new team. Also important is a sort of 'Iron chef' talent of 'here's 6 new ingredients, you have one month to create a tasty dish' that beats the competition... in essence, a creative and imaginative basketball mind. Was Chester that? It sounds like he maybe was on the defensive end.
I wouldn't laugh too hard. Duke is bringing in the number 1, 3, 12, 17, 18, and 51 recruits. Plus they can hit the transfer portal too.
End of an era. And as a fan, this part makes me sad --not the players getting paid. I look back, and pretty much every player I've enjoyed watching in an Illini uniform was a multi-year guy that had a strong connection to the program and developed in it.
