Or maybe Riley likes college. He will be a beast next year if he stays.

Hmm I doubt it, will has skill set and size that nba teams covet, and they way he played down the stretch solidified himself as a first rounder imo. And he’s only going to improve his stock when he gets in workouts, dude just oozes potential and he’s very young, which isn’t a really isn’t a deterrent when evaluating hoopers.

If he's offered first round money, he'd be an idiot to return to college. You can always come back to finish a degree. You can't always rely on your body to produce professional athlete performance.
Recent development apparently.
over the last 6 games Morez played in he shot 17-23 from the line, 74%.
That shows me growth with practice experience, work ethic and game experience. I expect he will work as hard if not harder than anyone on the team. and although he will continue to work on rebounding, we all know he is one of the best in the country. I foresee the development of a consistent 10 to 15 foot jumper in his future.
He's a good player, I hope he comes back like he says he wants to.
OTOH I hope Brad recruits over him.
Maybe Tre will work extra hard and beat everyone out for the starting position.
I can't wait until next April when Sarr is a lottery pick and we are all talking about how this guy from Spain should stay in central Illinois to play basketball for less money and to "tighten up his game" or something.
These high-potential foreign players aren't here to go to some university they don't have any affiliation with. They want to play on a bigger stage, in front of more scouts, and increase their stock.
Is KJ loose with his handle? Is he weak at times driving to the basket? Does he have prodigious skills at the PnR and understanding of space on the basketball court? All these are an empathic yes. The NBA thinks they can fix the first two. He has several things to work on, but he's got the thing that's much harder to teach already figured out.
I also feel like our offensive schemes didn't put him into the best position to succeed when they started pressuring high on the screen actions.

If you're a guaranteed lottery pick there's zero reason you should stay in school. It's a huge risk.
Who cares? He has no say about Illinois basketball.
I was under the impression that once you get into the mid to late first round, NIL can start to become competitive with NBA money.
For one year maybe. Last pick of first round gets like 2.5 mil a year but gets that for 4 years. So it would be a gamble to come back for one year of NIL even if those 1 year dollar amounts were comparable.
Dr. P.J. Bowman (centennial high school) came from Parkland college and was a nice bump off the bench. 3 point guy, he would come off the bench during a scoring lull, knock down a 3 or two and go back to the bench. You never know when or where you will find the perfect guy to plug a hole.

Correct. The argument used to be go back to school unless you get a first round guaranty (bc guaranteed money is gone in 2nd rd). With NIL the argument can be made that you are better off going back to school unless you're a lottery pick.
Kansas throwing money around like they have infinite amounts of it
Loved CoHawk and his outside shot was a threat but seeing him get manhandled on D in the paint by a big big was hard. Morez does give you that boost. She maybe really depends who the other 4 are on the floor.
Not looking great for Sarr
