One huge step forward this season and now big one back. Hmm.

if this is true, I'm blaming Trilly and no one else.

I know especially since we've got our first game coming up in 186 days.
Last season we had 11 scholarship players on the roster, plus a 12th that redshirted in order to preserve eligibility for his future school. And a scholarship that was kept open for no reason.
Looks like it may be a similar story this year unless we roll in 8 new transfers on next year's team, could really burn us if there are injuries.

he might be a solid player but if thats 1 of the 2 "very big pieces" after losing who we are losing, yikes.
Where can I find Trilly saying these things?
I'll guess it's TA to get his salary close to OA's, but I also know nothing. If we lose another assistant, I really hope Brad has another stud lined up to replace him.
I don't anticipate we will have to worry about that
A) OA plays things close to the vest
B) Chester had loose lips
C) Brad and staff are reevaluating who is attainable now that OA is officially on board
D) Other
The portal era has too many moving parts to make sense of what the ultimate product will look like. Brad got us to the Elite 8 so he's got my trust until the results on the court show otherwise.
I need to vent a little though. Did anyone else's wife get them a Sweet 16 shirt instead of an Elite 8?!

All of the above?
Maybe somebody already corrected you but, Humrichous is a D1 player from Evansville in the Missouri Valley. Played Drake , Indiana state and Bradely each twice a year. Hardly NAIA material, but neither is SIU. 14/5 with 41% 3 pt. percentage. Getting some NBA workouts. Not Domask, but not bad.
TA ain't going anywhere
Is it another coach that may leave?

Humrichous played at Evansville for 1 year after playing at Huntington University in NAIA for 3. Will be a 5th year senior using a COVID year.

He’s a grad transfer at Evansville from NAIA Huntington University. He’s got 1 year left to play.
As a junior at Huntington, his third year there, he averaged 12.8 points and 5.2 rebounds a game.
To transfer to D1 and be the leading scorer at Evansville is pretty impressive, but that’s a 6-14 Valley team (KenPom #208) and he got bottled up by Drake, Indiana State and BYU this year.
His path to being a high major contributor is real but limited. I’d rather have Goode, frankly.
The point is, Domask was a complete and battle-tested four year starter producing in all aspects for a good mid-major team. Totally different projection.

are we going to start talking about each other's wives?
This was Ben’s first season with the Purple Aces, so he’s not wrong (he was at Huntington University in the NAIA before) but it’s a bit of a straw man. Why would I be worried about Humrichous’s production as a freshman at an NAIA school compared to Domask’s production in the Missouri Valley as a freshman? In fact you could frame it as, look at the incredible strides he made while playing at a school with more resources, imagine what he’d do with all the resources at Illinois.
But his point remains accurate, anybody expecting Domask level 1st team all big ten performance is likely to be severely dissatisfied.
