Each day I go to work with the goal of getting rich, not for family (jk) but so I can shill huge NIL dollars - that way Holmes and Brea stay in Dayton AND I get my guys to Champaign, March is best with two ponies in the race

Yea that was a weird one. Said that on my comment too. Wonder if it's just on the court or something he has heard from the inside or an experience he has had that makes him say it like that. That was weird
Yeah, I'd hold your horses people.
Is he gonna lose to Illinois again?
Really hope Humtichous isn’t a starter…

Former Evansville forward Ben Humrichous commits to Illinois, per source
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – Ben Humrichous, the University of Evansville men’s basketball forward who paced the team with 14.7 points per game this season, has committed to the University…

From the sports director at Evansville's ABC affiliate.
The Illinois side doesn't always break the story.
From limited viewing of Ben H highlights, I think Giorgie is the best recent Illini comparison. Similar size and athleticism. Can run offense through them at top of key and let them read and react to defense. Ben a better shooter, but probably less of a traditional post up offensive threat than Giorgie.
Well Lville and the dad from Family Ties says it is.

no secret I like Humrichous. VG player, albeit on a lower level. what I'm most excited about is the player he could become. think there's a stuff ton of upside there
side note: if we hit on another mid-major guy, we're flippin' golden with that route going forward

Eh, I don't find anything similar about them other than height and skin color.
He died of a heart attack soon after this episode. No joke.
(Okay, maybe a little joke. It was much later.)
Hummer gonna be hummin in O&B
So now with 3 spots left, think we should be done with stretch 4s. We got enough at that spot now. The top targets should be a good 5 man, elite wing, and maybe another combo type guard (kinda like Maddox)? Or maybe we can target two 5 men; I mean, we got zero 5s on our roster at the moment.

Yep...let's all try not to ignore the fact that for years we have grumbled about these exact type of players (Domask) going to Wisconsin and Iowa and killing us.
Get Ben to Fletch ASAP and if he comes even close (75%-ish?) of what Domask did from that level to the B1G.....we will be ecstatic.
And Not So Hot Take.....his ceiling is probably higher than Marcus'.... due to size and skill set.
Dick Weiss said so, I agree.
