We went from Egor
to Watkins
to Lathon and Kasparas/Monsanto
to now just Kasparas

If it would've been Kasparas and Lathon/Monsanto...

or just in general going 2/3 out of those 3 guys...then I think you got something to show.

Sorry...but no matter how you slice it...if Kasparas is gonna be our only add from now on out...that's a disappointment.

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.

I don't think Domask is athletic enough to play in the Big Ten either.

I agree but we've been told to expect 2 good pickups.

Serious question - For all the people who are constantly predicting doom and whining about not getting every player that we target, wouldn’t you just be happier not following recruiting / transfer portal?

Watching the sausage being made can get messy, and it isn’t for the faint of heart. Just come back in the fall when the roster is set. I promise that this staff is putting together a good team!

Can we assume you're first in line for our fundraising efforts?

What do all the recruits coming from the Transfer portal have in common ? They can all shoot. Kasparas has been named MVP in the Barcelona Tournament. I believe he is much better than some want to admit. Trust in Underwood and Antigua. They do not recruit sub-par players.

Serious question. For all the people who are constantly saying that BU is a master at the portal and who try to convince everyone that everything is great, wouldn't you be happier staying away from this thread?

Come back in February after about 20 games and we can see how it all turns out.

To my knowledge, Kasparas hasn't signed with us.
