Really can’t see the difference between Goode and us wanting and being fine with Storr. At least Goode got a degree from Illinois and was part of an E8 team that will have a banner in the rafters. Would like for him to go somewhere else, so we don’t have to play. But degree plus part of an E8 team makes him an Illini for life.

This is using too much common sense for this board

@Bryce Hopkins @BryceHopkins Where do we stand with Derek Holcomb?

I was all excited when I saw there was so many new posts...Something big must be happening. Unfortunately, most of the new posts were about Derek Holcomb. Geez, people! We have serious business here, filling our roster and we're posting about somebody I actually knew in college. If only he were 45 years younger, with some eligility left, Derek Holcomb would be a great fit.

Getting measured for the circus clown pants. That alone would be enough for me to never visit Indiana were I skilled enough to play Div I basketball. Luke, listen to me, do you really want to do that to yourself? Common......

If I was in his shoes I would. Our defense has to be ready for him shooting lights out because that seems like something that would happen. Also you know he will make the hustles plays with extra motivation

Yes his defense could be a liability and we will need to expose and get him in foul trouble and hope for an off shooting night

Out of all the players who transferred from Illinois under BU how many did we regret? I can think of one who plays in the NBA and was in Luke and RJ freshman class. The rest have done what we expected or less

There is good chance the player who replace him will be a better player but Luke seem to be a very good teammate who bought into the culture (that could be hard to replace)

I had no idea I would make a certain Illini of a few decades ago into the most mentioned player in a thread about kids young enough to be his grandsons! There are far more old guys on here than I thought.

It was a great team. Derek Holcomb, Eddie Johnson, Mark Smith, Rob Judson, and Steve Lanter. Off the bench Neil Bresnahan and Levi Cobb. We were 16-0 after beating Magic/MSU Spartans on Thursday night and would have been #1 if we had not been upset by Ohio State on Saturday. Lou had brought Illini basketball back from the wilderness.

I can't help but think of how we would look if an Illinois high school star went to Indiana out of high school and then transferred back home to Illinois. We would be welcoming him home and assuring him that Illini nation would take care of him. LG is going back home (probably), getting a very high quality MBA, maximizing a lifetime of family and social connections and assuring himself that those people over there will take care of him. Seems to me like a pretty smart move and one I hope works well for him. I appreciate his time here and cannot think ill of him for pursuing his best future.

well said. I will root for him as long as he is not playing us.

Apologize if I missed it in an earlier thread. Did OA end up going to the tournament where Morez and Boogie played this past weekend. Was there any news on a development there? The hiring of OA announcement happened within about 24 hours of that right?

Well they can at least wait until our roster is set. That being said it would be nice to get all of our top players first and be filling in the supporting cast instead of the other way around.

Most of your top players dont enter the portal until later, they're doing it just as they should
