Super stoked to have Tomi back. A year with Fletch and hopefully no mono/flu and I am very high on what he could be next year.
I agree with Ty in the middle....Definitely worth experimenting with a zone defense to play in certain situations where TnZ are on the floor together.
Tomi and Big Z >>>>>>>>>>>> Tomi and Ben.
Can confirmUwe Blab played did Indiana and Illinois had Olaf, right?
What's the downside on him...$$? Those are some impressive numbers on a bad team
Are we involved insiders?
Answer: FletchOh, I agree that he's tough, but I want him and his bro to be physical.
You also can have them change jerseys at half if Tomi is in foul trouble...He certainly helps and is the right profile to compliment them, but you can't hide two guys from coverage against speedy little guards in a defensive scheme with drop coverage and the like.
Z is the better rim protector, he'll be in the "center" role. That's going to put Tomi in challenging situations against quicker players we were able to protect him from this year.
My favorite bull. The unsung hero with a sweet 3pt stroke. MJ is theThe new Croatian Sensations! We have to get Toni Kukoc down for a ballgame next year.

Gotta get rid of our DC, but not sounding like it.We have to be better defensively next season. It was hard to watch this year.
Will declare obviously, but the door is open and a check will be waiting if he wants to come back. Him and family have been very open to that idea, will likely depend on the combine.Any word on Will and what he will be doing. Has anything slipped out.
Do you think he enters the portal too? Or is he NBA or Illinois?Will declare obviously, but the door is open and a check will be waiting if he wants to come back. Him and family have been very open to that idea, will likely depend on the combine.
I'd be very surprised if he enters the portal.Do you think he enters the portal too? Or is he NBA or Illinois?
Correct. Uwe played for IndianaOlaf Blab, I believe
No problem for us…we’ve got a defensive genius on staff.My friend who is an Arkansas fan said his interior defense was bad and got him in the doghouse with cal towards the end of the season. But that he's a great shooter. Nothing too surprising. Hopefully little fletching can help. He clearly has some defensive potential
Uwe was pretty good, younger brother Olaf struggled a bit. Both 7ft+. From Germany via Effingham exchange students.Correct. Uwe played for Indiana
And Effingham.Correct. Uwe played for Indiana
