Fun fact: this man is an Illinois alum. But I’m sure most of you knew that.
Fun fact 2: I am considering only using nick offerman gifs from now on

Really good breakdown of Riley’s game with highlights while Riley does commentary on his own game. Seems like sharp kid with a very high BB IQ. Sky is the limit for him. Could be the game changer of the year if he develops quickly.

How many of those players will be on the roster in 25/26? That's the first question that should be answered.

Kid has a really high basketball IQ.

I think he is a 5'5" CG. He is ranked #10. He would be the highest ranked recruit. I think he would fill in for Rilley should he leave after this year. Who knows who will be there, maybe Tre White or Boswell?

 

[DeonThomas]

Recruiting has quite possibly hit an all-time high for the program. Fun and productive staff we have!

 

[logjam]

The Antigua factor. We’re getting real play from 5* a lot more now. What a great move to bring him back.

Name checks out...

Is it finally Sunday ???????..........why yes , yes it is.........................

 

[Brosky]

I never said that a skinny guy can't excel. What I said was we are so stacked with talent we can afford to bring Riley along slowly. After a few games. he'll be getting starters' minutes.

Tre has looked the best so far. Folks are really underestimating the impact he can make. 6MOTY in the B1G very much in play if he indeed comes off the bench like I expect

Athletically he seems to be the closest to TJ. Not TJ but believe he has the ability (if he has the will ) to be an outstanding defensive player. Guess we are going to see how much of the “get old” is effective in 24-25.
The oldest team would be Ben, Ivsic, Tre, Ty, and Kylan. Not saying these will be the starters but not a bad Nov. team. Really wonder if the coaches have a penciled lineup at this point. Actually hope they don’t.
