Bring on Holmes!!
Hilarious man lmao I will always love Coleman no matter what decision he makes
. . . and another one coming?
Feel like Illini boosters would pay more than his market value even the blue bloods.
I love Coleman and would love to see him back but he's more of a great role player than a true alpha. Super versatile on both ends but he's not going to create a ton of his own offense.
Maybe if Brad can't get an actual 5 then he decides to make a choice about more than money but I think Illinois will be able to beat any offer he gets.
Would love pair Coleman with PJ Hall, DaRon Holmes, or Kalk. Though all of them seem unlikely.
I'm assuming but Hawkins is going pro but even with Humrichous I think you could play some very big lineups with Humrichous, Coleman, and a legitimate 5.
Is it a coincidence the Ben H is from.......................Tipton!?
Please tell me that someone has already made a meme of BUs crossed arm smirk?
This is correct.... At least that's how the Evansville announcers pronounced it...

Add an legitimate 5, and I think we will be in great shape. I know we will get another 2/3.
No TA…..everyone panic

I would love to see this for the sole reason that when Hunter went up for a rebound in the first nationally televised game I’m sure Coleman would depants him!

Domask/Joey Hauser hybrid
His game translates to any level. VERY nice get.

Ummm I don't think you can promise anyone that kind of money if they are hurt. And I guarantee you that no other school will either. Now if he pulled out of the draft, signed NIL paperwork to return next year, THEN got hurt while practicing/prepping for next year, that's a whole other thing.
Some nice Ben H stats--- #1 scorer on Evansville #2 rebounder #3 assists. He is used to being the man just like Marcus Domask at SIU. 6'9" 220 - nice size. Probably can defend in post if necessary along with Johnson and Booth.
By contrast Boswell 5th leading scorer AZ 10 ppg, White 4th leading scorer 12 ppg (Louisville had 5 guys between 10 and 13 ppg), Booth 5th leading scorer ND 6 ppg Davis 3rd leading scorer Mercer 9 ppg
Add in Ty, DGL and two freshman and we are up to 9 players. We only had 11 scholarship players last year. Moretti was 11th in minutes played 6 mpg. If Brad can bring in a backup center and a backup PG I think we are good. A star wing would be awesome but even without a big dog I think we have the core of a pretty good team. Certainly comparable 2022 with Coleman, RJ Luke returning and adds Mayer, TSJ, Dain, Skyy Sencire Ty. That team made NCAA and finished 5th in B10.
