I guest yew past English.Egregious.
Lol, well I'm pretty sure we only had to take one RHET class as a gen ed for the engineering curriculum and I knew a bunch of engineering kids that couldn't write.Ever since I saw epitome spelled “appitimy” on this board, I’ve begun to question the present day value of an Illinois degree. Cringeworthy.
Illini fan on this board != Illinois alum or student, at least not necessarily
wile I agre that was puticularly agregious, I doubt it came from an Illinois grad
I think that was the joke. At least I hope it was. Continuing the bit into the second half of the sentence would’ve helped.Egregious.
I actually went back and took the time to read it given all the smart remarks.5. Illinois doesn't have a true center, a rim protector. Are we down to Ugonna Onyenso (Kentucky) or Nick Pringle (Alabama)? Do any of you know of any other transfer centers that we potentially might be interested in? 4. I'd say Illinois is set with power forwards. (I know, we shouldn't think of players anymore as positions 1 through 5.) Carey Booth, Morez Johnson, and Ben Humrichous are all good players. (And Jason Jakstys could develop into a CoHawk type of stretch 4 in the future.) 3. We have some solid wings/small forwards in Tre White, Jake Davis, and Ty Rodgers. (Although the 6'6" Rodgers could play some minutes at PF also.) Is there enough scoring from that group? 6'7" F Trazarien White from UNC Wilmington looks like a great target, but his skills might overlap with the "other" White (Tre) already on the team. 2A. We don't have a scoring SG, a shooter, on the roster. Who's left out there? Khalif Battle of Arkansas (visiting Kansas State) is one, and TJ Bamba of Villanova (visiting Kentucky) is another. A couple of combo guards that could fill that shooter/scorer spot are 6'4" Chaz Lanier from North Florida and 6'3" Jalen Blackmon of Stetson. Does anyone know of other potential transfers for this role? 2B. I'm warming to G/F Desmond Claude of Xavier as a possible transfer to Illinois. He's a 6'6" sophomore who averaged 16.6/4.2/3.2 this past season. Although he shot an abysmal 23.9% on 3s, he apparently was playing through an injury to his shooting elbow, with said injury now having been repaired by a medical procedure. He can play the point or the wing, and he's said to be a very good defender; one with 2 years of eligibility left. I'd be happy if the Illini could get this young man from the transfer portal. (I think he might be visiting Texas Tech.) 1. We have our starting point guard, Kylan Boswell. Assuming they both stay, I'm guessing that Gibbs-Lawhorn and Moretti will serve as backup point guards to Boswell. There is some opinion out there that Illinois might decide to add transfer PG Posh Alexander of Butler (formerly at SJU). He's a very good floor general and passer, plus he apparently is a great defender. He'd be a good add if Underwood and staff decide to go that route.
Reminds me of the old ICC (Illinois Central College) joke: "What does ICC stand for?"Ever since I saw epitome spelled “appitimy” on this board, I’ve begun to question the present day value of an Illinois degree. Cringeworthy.
Nothing to sniff at. But whom really nose? Just like baseball, I whiffed too many times. Enough, having said that.Proper smelling matters.
When are people going to figure out that the best players are usually the worst coaches?It doesn’t hurt that these guys’ dads all probably geek out when Penny comes to the house.
And the whiffNothing to sniff at. But whom really nose? Just like baseball, I whiffed too many times. Enough, having said that.
We probably ran together. You wouldn't remember me. I was pretty mediocre.I can’t speak for the current set up, but Coach Henson always had tryouts. That’s how I got to suit up.
Speak for yourself...Lol, well I'm pretty sure we only had to take one RHET class as a gen ed for the engineering curriculum and I knew a bunch of engineering kids that couldn't write.
Also, I had a great time at school but I don't really think any university is really that rigorous for undergrad aside from a couple classes and those were mostly physics related.
It's really not uncommon among people who read a lot. There are a lot of people who have never heard the word spoken, and assume in their head that it's pronounced a certain way when they see it on the page.And not only paragraphs and punctuation. When I was in seventh grade I once pronounced epitome as epi-toam; and Yosemite as Yose-might. I was quickly corrected by teacher and somehow past English class. I went for broke and learned; I had nothing to loose.

How about when you saw bidness degree.
"bidness" (bid•nez)How about when you saw bidness degree.
Soooo......no actual news today?
By 50Do you think this current roster could beat a WNBA all-star team?
