My in-house expert provided this handy pronunciation guide:
DGL the rare player who didn't get the minutes he undoubtedly wanted going in to the year and took it as an opportunity to grind and earn them with the same team the following year (hopefully). We should be desperately rooting for him to succeed, or completely embrace the new era of 90%+ roster turnover every year.
I said 60% chance he came to Illinois last week...I am at about at 85% now. Just a couple of things to finish
As Fl says here, there are contingency plans in place just in case
Just sat down to read todays recruiting thread from today.
Wishing I had simply scrolled to the last post and read this one from LvilleILL.
Everything else was a waste of time.

Definitely root for DGL to succeed and Ty Rodgers as well. They both work so hard, have stuck it out and not bolted. They both need to raise their level of play going into the 24-25 season to increase their playing time beyond role players minutes. Will be hard to do with the high level of incoming talent on the team.
IMO it's highly likely that Humrichous starts.
Like 99.9% likely
It appears BU and Co. have done it again and we’re in store for another exciting season of Illini basketball.
From what I have heard from some of the insiders and what Brad has said about him, I think you may be underestimating him.

So....
Boswell
Demin
White OR Ty
Hamdelicious
Ivisic
with DGL and maybe Moretti as guards off the bench, either White or Ty as wings off the bench, and Booth/Morez as bigs off the bench? Then Jakstys as our one redshirt?

Well I also think some wannabe insiders on X are also posting about it. Two that I’ve seen have horrible track records.

I seriously doubt Humichous starts over Booth or gets starter minutes. Humichous is not at same level as Domask was, IMO. He is more Goode than Domask.
That’s the plan if we land Demin, yep. Plus Jake Davis as another wing off the bench.
I'm not sure why people think Rodgers will start? Tre White is not a great shooter, but Rodgers is a non existent shooter. He doesn't even take the shot. A guy that will at least make you guard him on the perimeter that can still get to the hoop and rebound is clearly the superior player. Also White is a much better FT shooter.
More than happy to eat crow and have dgl be a stud next year... Especially if we get our remaining top off season targets.

Barring offseason injury, Humrichous is the starter.
Anyone else concerned by that 3 spot?
Okay, yeah. I mean I've just not seen this... I don't know. I'm assuming he is going to come over and be just fine from the get-go, yes. But, also I think assuming a projected lotto pick is going to fail based on maybe some homesickness or what have you is just hyperbolic devil's advocate stuff.
If anyone else has a better plan than bringing in a top 10 pick lmk

One is struck with the unpleasant sense that we know it's college but we don't know it's us.
