Are we in on Richmond?

Neither us nor Kentucky was really in on him out of HS and he's leaving Seton Hall purely for the biggest bag, I have a hard time seeing why it would be us.

Great player though, and incidentally he was teammates with both Alan Griffin and Quincy Guerrier as a freshman at Syracuse.

Awesome news! This should eliminate one topic from the thread for the next couple of weeks.

I’ve had the same thought. I think Coleman could guard most wings really well. He won’t be the 20ppg scorer we are used to, but still could add a ton of value.

Personally, I was never used to that

Boomislav Ivisic?

I'm sorry, I will never get used to some of those names being associated with the Big Ten.

We have a professional basketball player as our starting center (as a true freshman!) next year. BU is one smart cookie.

Brad Underwood, International Man of Mystery

If he were any cooler, he'd still be frozen, baby, YEAH!!

Now it feels like the roster has everything it needs absent a primary scorer wing and maybe a secondary ball handler/small guard defender.

Which are big pieces, to be sure.

If Underwood can reel in EGOR or a solid scoring option at the wing spot, this team has a real shot at the second weekend of the Big Dance again. That's a big IF, but you gotta think he can get someone like Wooga if EGOR ain't comin'.

Trust in Brad - the portal king!

Brad does like him some lefty bigs. See Bezhanishvili, Giorgi; Dainja, Dain; and now Ivisic, Tomislav.

Great, now we’re only a 9-seed.

And one that fits exactly what he wants to do on offense. Ivisic is such a better fit than pure rim runners like Omoruyi or Onyenso.

Would love egor but even if he came feel like you still gotta go after a veteran guard/wing.

Welcome to the Illini Tomislav Ivisic! Looking forward to seeing what he brings to the team.

Anyone know when he’ll arrive on campus? I love it when the newcomers can join up for summer workouts.

Go Illini
