Boswell looked great in the Fears/Joliet clip, but to be fair, he should be dominant in that setting. The goal should be top dawg PG in the BIG and I think he can do it.

would anyone be able to relink that? None of the links I've tried for that so far have worked

Kasparas tourney starts tomorrow. Illinois is in a very good spot right now, should have a decision sometime next week. As it was alluded too earlier, his price is around a million and we are by far the highest bidder

Great. This needs to happen, no matter the cost. How tall is he anyway?

Becoming increasingly clear that Illinois spectacularly whiffed by thinking they were budgetary savants passing on Storr, and now is trying to sell a 17-year-old playing in Europe (a question mark twice over) and/or the second-best player on a low major as anything other than a disappointment.

Illinois will need to ramp up fundraising for future offseasons or we’re going to see middle-of-the-pack Big Ten finishes and low tourney seeds become the norm moving forward—also the most likely outcome next season based on the roster’s makeup.

Maybe my memory is failing, but the issue was not just money. Didn't Storr want a guaranteed spot on the women's team for his girlfriend? That presented all sorts of issues. Money is one thing, but these other guarantees, it was wise to pull away. It is a disservice to the women's team if we went ahead with the deal like Kansas did.

Can I ask if anyone was able to find a link in which we can view, without having a twitter account or without starting a war?

I think we’ve had some insiders express differing opinions on this one, but “we don’t want to overpay and would rather spend elsewhere” has been the common refrain following more failed pursuits this offseason than Storr alone.

I still think the whiff is in waiting to land a big fish instead of having a sense of urgency to do so early in the portal. Now were paying big fish money for a mid tier fish.
