I'm with you. The downside of an upset storr could be huge. But I have no idea about his actual personality and temperament since I've never met him.... This is where the coaching staff have to evaluate

Honestly just think Dickinson was the biggest problem. He was an absolutely atrocious defender and he basically killed any offensive flow.C'mon really?!?!I get hating Storr based on him doing nothing at Kansas but him and Humrichous aren't in the same stratosphere in ability.
No one on Kansas cared last season. Self included. I don't have ages of their starting lineup this past season but it was like 22-23-24-24-24....it really put a hole in vet teams are better. Was a freaking lifeless group.
Storr can handle the ball and get to the hoop. And get his own shot.
If you get Storr....hes got to be a primary option or his usefulness isn't much. But we have a glaring need for athletes that can get their own shot and get to the rim.
The dude is the poster child for putting up empty stats.
They had some other issues like Self loving KJ way too much.

Thinking back, you are correct.
Since u invoked the name Darius u have to include Laphonso and Counzo.
Riley’s back? KJs back? Sarr’s coming to the Hoops Summitt to announce his commitment to the Illini?
I think Mirkovic is a lock as our starting 4. And I doubt Underwood is taking all of Storr, Sarr, and Watkins. I'd say Watkins is a long shot.Boswell, Storr/Ty, Watkins, Riley/Sarr, Ivisic bros.

Are you saying he was on a Final Four team?

Yes and Sean Connor and Rick Shipley weren’t slouches.
Yeah. I think he would legitimately be the best player to enter to portal and I would be thrilled to get a guy like that.
If you happened to pair him with let's say Storr and Sarr you could have a ton athleticism and positional size. Throw in the European 4 and were good to go.
My interpretation of that is that he has seen his fave team's rivals win over and over again, and wants the beloved to redeem it all.
Me too. Bears, CWS, and Illini. Hard row to hoe.

Could be, but Morez was in Nike Summit last year wasn’t he?

Watched a little bit of big Z today and was at the Illinois-Arkansas game this year. I know Tomi is considered the better player and I believe that’s true. But I think big T benefitted from being in a system that was so much better for him than big Z’s was. I would say big Z is actually a more athletic and offensively savvy player. He’s probably a better shooter too. The thing that makes Tomi so good is his phenomenal decision making ability and passing so we’ll see if big Z can capitalize in the Illini system as well
to further elaborate, actually don't think this should be all that undoable though. you only need watkins, 1/2 of Ty/Storr (already done), and 1/2 of riley/sarr to make this happen. i mean, top 10-15 NIL .... fairly okay sell... pulling in a few guys of that range shouldn't be all that undoable imho.Boswell, Storr/Ty, Watkins, Riley/Sarr, Ivisic bros.

Watkins is not the #1 guy that I am looking for to enter (he would be #2). When #1 enters (assuming he does), I will let everyone know. The staff is VERY confident they will land this kid if he enters, and it would be a massive addition.

Two brothers playing together who’s played together most their lives??? Dude, they always know where each other will be on the court. And don’t forget the twin thing. It’s real! Supernatural bond that is unexplainable. Can’t wait to see that chemistry AND sibling rivalry for added competition.
Jerry Sloan’s son Brian won a state championship at McLeansboro and played at Indiana.
