And the other one is boogie, although I’m hoping you say Jones. Of course both would be great.yes. we are in a really good spot right now

Some posters are asking... just what does 'Team' mean any more with new guys coming in every year? And how can I root for this?
Well, I’ll tell you. Illini Basketball is Illini Nation – we, the loyal fans. We are 'The Team'. And we are here from year to year and generation to generation.
Players represent us – the great roundball fans of the Prairie State. We fans are the heart and soul of this 'Team' and program... not the players or even the coaches that all will have moved on one day either quickly or later.
The players on the floor are of course the face of the program. But the heart and soul and ‘Team’ that never changes is the Spirit of Illini Basketball that is played in the center of a great roundball State in located in the center of the Nation.
We are Team. The players are just along for the ride from one stop to the next for as long as they choose and it works well for them.
God Bless the Portal. Freedom for Players and yearly hope’s raised for Fans.
thanks for sharingI am VERY confident in Illinois landing two very big pieces in the next couple of weeks.
Humrichous could be a nice piece, but I’d like to register my objection to the inevitable comparisons with Domask immediately.yes. we are in a really good spot right now
Only really going to play 8 guys. Ideally 9 and 10 are solid depth options to account for injuries or foul trouble but probably not going to count on those guys very often.The most striking thing at this point is just the lack of players.
We have 9 players right now, and two of them are Jason Jakstys and Nico Moretti.
Tre White’s empty inefficient chucking on Louisville last season is the only double digit average scoring effort in college basketball currently on our roster.
Humrichous is strictly 4 man or can he play the 3? Does this move cement Coleman leaving?yes. we are in a really good spot right now
If Schutt had done as well at Duke as Goode did here he would not be in the portal. Pass on Schutt.With Goode leaving, do we investigate Jaden Schutt from Duke?
I'm glad someone else remembers that, I thought this was Coleman's exact tweet when Mulcahy entered the portal last year ?Maybe I’m just experiencing Deja vu or maybe he did it again but he tweeted this last year didn’t he? I seem to remember conversations on this thread about whether or not it was autocorrect capitalizing “New Jerseys” for him.
I’m a pass generally, but he could be a guy to grab at the end and see what pans out. I bet he’s cheap.If Schutt had done as well at Duke as Goode did here he would not be in the portal. Pass on Schutt.
Seems like an unproven piece relative to bringing Hawkins back. Why aren’t we trying to get him back instead?yes. we are in a really good spot right now
Who said they haven't?Seems like an unproven piece relative to bringing Hawkins back. Why aren’t we trying to get him back instead?
We need more shooters/bodies. Right now we have Boswell 39%,38% from 3. Davis 39%. DGL, Moretti. JMO Schutt is worth a flyer. We have plenty of open slots. Schutt only played 1 year due to injury.If Schutt had done as well at Duke as Goode did here he would not be in the portal. Pass on Schutt.
Better not be TA...More portal losses and potentially another coach. Crazy.
Say what now?More portal losses and potentially another coach. Crazy.
Wow- thought he would end up somewhere much better than thatSincere Parker from SLU committed to McNeese.
We're missing 4 legitimate starting pieces, unless we count Ty as one. Then, we're missing 3. We have Boswell, then a lot of quality bench depth. If who we've brought in(to date) are expected the start.... it'll be interesting. It might not be successful, but it'll be interesting.I know we should trust the staff but we're still missing multiple starters and its getting stressful...
