The way things are going, watch Domask get his waiver approved and then hit the portal.

Should have clarified, but other piece is the big oneYou’re calling him a “very big piece”?Nice role player but now you got me nervous.
humrichous is still a nice piece. will be a double digit scorer
Coleman is an absolute jewel funny, smart and a true Illini. I would support him anywhere he played.Seems like a guy entering the portal to me …

We might be in trouble if he’s that much a focus of the offense. Maybe like 10 ppg if we’re high tempo again.
He will have to be as this team is currently constructed.
Ben is a nice addition and I think he makes us better, but in terms of "very big" I assume you mean someone like. . .
David Jones
Boogie Fland
Ugonna Onyenso
Coleman Hawkins
Marcus Domask
Is that fair, are you talking about that kind of difference maker?
not sure if u can really call Onyenso a very big addition. intriguing project though.
curious what this beef about staff is..........Geoff?
I'm confused why a guy who averaged 3.6 points and played 18 minutes a game while shooting 58% from FT is considered a very big transfer?
I just can't get enthused about this guy. He may be big, but the videos I've watched show a very slow guy. We can (and must) do better.
Kentucky played 3 centers. His upside is massive-on nba radars for a reason
Joel Goodson
- respect my decision™
he's a defensive cheat code: great rim protector, VVG athlete, VVG rebounder. athletically, kid has NBA written all over him. offensively: raw

If we are bringing in a player who is better than him then we should be ok with him going to IU. When you recruit over a known player you have to be certain you are upgrading
I trust your sources and insights but I know recruiting is fluid and there are no certainty. I hope you know who is coming in over him
For the same reasons this board is melting down over Luke; who averaged 5 and 3, transferring.
If we somehow land Humrichous, Jones and Oneyenso, think we can run back the same O as last year with Humrichous in the Marcus booty ball role and Jones in the TJ lethal in transition mode. But we would have better ball handling, probably better defense (thinking Boswell and DGL can better contain dribble penetration and then of course have an A+ rim protector), and maybe a little bit better shooting. If Humrichous and Jones could give us 80% of what TJ and Domask gave us, that’s a really formidable team.
A tall order landing all 3, but between our connections, sell and NIL maybe we can pull it off.
