Did his dad play here possibly...?

Get ready for all the, "why can't we ever get a legacy?" If/when he doesn't come here.

If my old a$$ memory serves me right.. His dad came here because he had a great relationship with Lou and his family. Was not happy that Illinois more or less ran Lou out of his job. He then transferred to Syracuse. Can not believe his dad would have originally gone for him coming here, but today money talks.

But will there be a secret hotel room meeting during the B1G tournament in Indy.

where do we stand with Blackwell?

 

[BillyBob1]

I'm a big BeLeever. Think he can make an impact next year (~10 MPG) depending upon how the roster shakes out, but would be shocked if either play significant minutes

Is Lee considered a point guard?

Glynn Blackwell played his entire career at Illinois.

Wrong Blackwell. That was Ryan. Glynn was the former player that is John’s dad.

I cannot describe the level of PTSD this post gave me. Just a visceral reaction.

Told you my memory isn't what it use to be

 

[BalloonsTheElephant]

Did we meet Blackwell in a hotel room and drop a bag? Pretty sure his dad still wears Illinois gear to his games.

In case you want to search for 3p shooter transfers... here's the latest college leaders (3p%).

Interesting that #2 guy is playing in Illinois....Western Illinois.

If we only had someone (or two) with a connection to Western.

Is there any coincidence that Stephen Bardo drops that video saying, "these guys don't care about Illinois basketball". Then we go after a legacy player?

wut?

you're thinking of Ryan Blackwell

Combo

 

[Oracle21]

It’s like NBA fans fantasizing about free agency while the season is going on. Silly.

 

[illiniswish09]

2 years of Blackwell, yes please. Would LOVE.

 

[Bigtex]

Didn’t his dad play for Illinois and always $$$ now a days

 

[Future Insider]

Not going to get excited about Blackwell. Already was fooled with Storr last year. Seen this movie before.

Kid can flat out put the ball in the hoop ...

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

His dad also played here

Gosh that’s when I was there. Has it been a hundred years ago yet?
