It can only mean one thing:Even the insiders keep getting pulled back here!

I'll take a flyer on any 6'6 guy that is that athletic and can shoot.
This was what I was thinking as well but I wanted to ask. Is this the two changes that are for sure happening? Are they giving Hamer the chance to find a job before they announce, or wrapping up the coaches that will be in those positions before they announce?Hamer and Kwa... Bring in a defensive guru!!!
Hopefully those changes are the ones we wantThank goodness for at least TWO changes, not just one.
Rimpressure and friction need to be talked about more often in the basketball world. (Insert Dix pun here)
Tomi and Z really do seem like a perfect big man duo for what Brad wants to do, seems like a no brainer?
I'd take him over Dix (although he's probably less likelier)A 7 figure flyer … Lol …

Does this mean Brad isn't as checked out as has been reported here?It is a no brainer … Brad just needs to get the freaking deal done and he’s working on it …
I expect Tomi & Z both to be in the orange and blue next year …

Entering the portal from Arkansas was never going to be a negative for the Illini...100% credit goes to @illini0440
I was completely unaware.
Zvonimir has already entered the draft twice. If he were to enter again, he must stay in. Got to be a positive for the Illini?
Zvonimir Ivisic
Love it @Indy Illini Fan.I think the people I talk to who think Brad may be a little “checked out” are still accurate in a way …
Big Z has been a target for months now … That’s old news …
Let’s get aggressive on some of these new targets … Get Hamer off the dang staff … Demote Kwa … Hire 2 new coaches and get cooking in the portal … They just wanna see Brad turn up the heat and cook … They wanna see that fire he had in the NCAAT games carry over into the off season …
Well All Right then.100% credit goes to @illini0440

Is it possible he is working the coaching side more than the portal right now and that is what makes it seem like he is a little checked out? (Not being a smart !!!, honest questions)I think the people I talk to who think Brad may be a little “checked out” are still accurate in a way …

The second sentence is precisely my point. Thank you.Entering the portal from Arkansas was never going to be a negative for the Illini...
Technically speaking, it would be a negative for the Illini if he were to enter the draft.
The primary positive is that we have his brother here. Nothing else matters. Time for Brad to seal the deal. This seems to be about as easy as it comes.
Having two 7'1" dudes that could shoot would be sweet. Has that ever happened on any roster like....ever? Neither are the most physical guys in the world, but having two would be a bit of a different story.
That would actually be pretty fun to watch.
Spot on around the 19 minute mark about shooting. Good discussion, really appreciate what LaTulip brings to these conversations.Good listen
