I watched a decent amount of tape on Booth and he plays similar to a soph-junior CoHawk though more secure with the ball. He's very similar in that while athletic and is quite successful when he's taking the ball to the rim, he opts more for a very perimeter oriented far less efficient shot, so you will as a fan see some similar, uhhh, frustrating moments. That said, Booth's ceiling is very high and if he were to mix in some more aggressive drives with some higher quality perimeter shots like CoHawk did this year he can certainly follow in similar footsteps.QUESTION FOR SMART PEOPLE - Can Booth become CoHawk?
I can also emphatically say Tre White isn’t a 2 and Ty isn’t going to be playing the 3.
He played on a bad team for sure and was inconsistent though out the year. A lot of that could stem from the lack of coaching he got this year. The kid has a lot of potential and when I am stating that he will be good. That does not necessarily mean in the short term. He is coming to the Illini to get better. Coaching staff has seen something they really like with him. No one is calling him a center piece.I'm a low-key believer too, but it also has to be acknowledged that he was really bad last year, so RELYING on him to be a centerpiece of the team would introduce major downside risk into projecting next season.
Kadary Richmond absolutely projects as a better 2024-25 college basketball player, even if Demin has the much brighter pro future.
Almost a 5 year age gap between them.
Either one of them would be a home run for us though.
For sure, a lot of similarity there.
The book on Booth is that he's got a tendency to drift and disappear too much, just kinda hanging around the perimeter and not grabbing games by the scruff of the neck. But there's an NBA talent level there, and a lot of skill overlap with CoHawk.
He’s not a big wing like player but they already have a potential secondary ball handler (DGL).I hope its a wing like player who can also be a secondary ball handler because that's definitely a need right now.
I'm hearing Demin is down to us, KU, and Dook.
It's us or Real Madrid. The other two have moved on because of guys they have added/Demin wants to be a guaranteed top 3 option on a team next year if he's going to leave SpainI'm hearing Demin is down to us, KU, and Dook.
No, his Twitter trolling is nowhere near Coleman.QUESTION FOR SMART PEOPLE - Can Booth become CoHawk?

I say the rest of our team should be required to learn Serbian.Just curious . . .
Is Tomislav Ivišic fluent in English?
This is a major concern. Having a great roster does not equate to championships by default...but obviously a necessary place to start. What BU can accomplish in putting the pieces together will be a more challenging puzzle to solve.This is huge. The coaching staff is putting together a championship roster.
This is where Illinois has the advantage by not spending the entire bag yet. KU and Duke don’t have the money Illini have to get him. It’s Illinois or Real Madrid.I'm hearing Demin is down to us, KU, and Dook.
Kind of an interesting question because Demin isn't exactly a 2 himself.So as it stands right now....DGL is our only potential 2 guard right?
AI is a scary thing. Can't tell what is real and what is fake anymore.
Thanks. Is that a top 3 in playing time or involvement in the offense? I assume the latter.It's us or Real Madrid. The other two have moved on because of guys they have added/Demin wants to be a guaranteed top 3 option on a team next year if he's going to leave Spain
Add any two of him, Cam Christie and CoHawk back and call it a day?It's us or Real Madrid. The other two have moved on because of guys they have added/Demin wants to be a guaranteed top 3 option on a team next year if he's going to leave Spain
If that's the case, how long can we wait him out before we go with another option before the cupboard is bare?It's us or Real Madrid. The other two have moved on because of guys they have added/Demin wants to be a guaranteed top 3 option on a team next year if he's going to leave Spain
Is there an expected timeline for BU and staff? Like a date where they ultimately move on to other options?It's us or Real Madrid. The other two have moved on because of guys they have added/Demin wants to be a guaranteed top 3 option on a team next year if he's going to leave Spain
