I'm just waiting for our first game against Michigan next season and the staff choose to play 20 feet off of Morez... I'm sure before that game he'll be shooting like 20% from 3 and then he'll hit 4 3's against us :ROFLMAO: .

3) All that stuff from Morez and his dad was just to deflect from the fact that they lied to both the program and the press and it was all about the $$$ (which is fine if that's what it was, but just be honest about it). Therefore he will play the same role and be fine with it.

But was it about the $$$. There are posts out there that he ultimately took less at UM than he had on the table at UI.

There's a 3rd... He plays the way he always plays because it was always about getting the most money today and had nothing to do with style, role, or coaching.

There's not a lot of doubt in my mind that if Morez has a role at Michigan similar to what he had at Illinois, his dad will persuade him to enter the transfer portal yet again. I could obviously be proven wrong, but this feels like "opinion shopping" where they'll keep looking until they find a coach who plays him in a stretch 4 role.

I'd guess our staff knows how to get Morez in foul trouble and that will be a point of emphasis once he enters the game. Imagine the trash talk.

Wow! What if we get Sarr, the Ivisic twins, Boswell, White, and Riley along with the two freshmen who committed way back when. I would go to war with that roster any time. I realize this scenario is not likely.

There are also posts out there that saying the Earth is flat. Are there any legit sources saying he took less? Because I've only seen the one tweet from an account that has just 2.5k followers and fell for the fake Dame Sarr "committed" tweet.

Can we use that to get Jaxon Richardson, that kid is a freak. Watched his team play IMG I believe, and they just kicked the crap out of them. Even on a team with the Boozer brothers and playing IMG, Jaxon clearly looked like the best player on the floor.

But alas, I assume he will be headed to Michigan State. Maybe an Izzo retirement could change the calculus.

They just recruited a non-shooting point guard as their #1, highest paid, priority target and follow it up with Morez.

I expect a brick house in Ann Arbor. Makes no sense.

Well, apparently Thor is in the portal again (they control it so that tracks)….and he’s here on an official visit?
Unlimited vertical. Brings the hammer on defense… which is better than bringing the Hamer.

I can assure you that if Chris Hemsworth is playing for the Illini that my wife will be much more agreeable to attend games . . .

I was pretty upset when Morez left and the fact that we couldn't retain him. There was a lot of anger directed at Brad. Now, I have a reason to hate Michigan again, which brings great happiness. I still think Morez is gonna be really good, just hopefully not against us.

Wait...you didn't have enough reasons to hate Michigan before? But there are so, so many.

This would be okay, but the Squawk we really want has to be Freeman. Could we possibly get. both?
