We are so screwed, it's like having a team of six rotation players and no go-to players. I'm seeing a 10-seed ceiling and that is only if everything goes right.

We are getting younger solid multiple year players so far and all but Jake Davis we similarly rated or higher rated out of high school than most others we have landed under Brad Underwood but now there are more of them!
. Past were Ayo 30, Clark 34, and Kofi 50 we are familiar with but these others guys are athletic were rated as high or ever higher in Boswell 25, Morez 29, Tre White 35 and Booth 54 are very good young players. I am not big on ratings but if BU likes em and they happen to be rated well then thats a plus. We are still looking for solid talent. I for one love what I see in 6'6" Wesley Cardet. Here is a link to what he did in just one game vs NW, a sick dunk, driving, draining 3s and they had no one who could guard him. His team wasn't good but he performed well vs several power 5 schools and can score in all 3 levels. I think he would be great on a team with more top talent besides just him. Just because a young guy is from a small school doesn't mean he can't play when he does it on the court like Cardet. Hell, I recall Lindsey Hunter coming in with Jackson St. and putting up 38 in a half vs the Illini before NBA career of over 15 years. Id love to land Cardet. I'm not saying he is Ayo but at 6'6" and his all round skills he could be a load for our opponents .

What's the timeline for finding out who the other 2 Illini victims of Portal Kombat are? After the ominous insider warnings yesterday, I almost figured it was going down today...

There’s not going to be 2 more entering the portal. Just one.

Yes. I am expecting us to get a visit from him and the Evansville kid. Cardet is in flux though, they are also talking to a couple of others right now

I feel like if Brad wants Cardet he has him? But he’s kinda like plan B right now am I reading that right?

I know it’s wild to guesstimate our starting lineup for next season, and I’ve seen plenty of dream lineups, but idc who shows up, I just can’t see Ty not being in it. He started every game on an Elite 8 team. I know his shooting limitations, but he’s one of the best rebounders at 6’6” out there and is so high energy. Just a huge Ty fan in more ways than one.

Hoping like crazy he works on his shot every day for the next 6 months. At least get a reliable 12-15 ft jumper, if not necessarily a 3-pt shot.

I know that Underwood loves him, so I'd have to guess he'll somehow be in the starting lineup.
