Any chance there is a wing from FSU entering?
Ty is certainly an athlete and Tomi’s brother is a bit better of an athlete from what I’ve seen. Sarr would also make us more athletic.this current set of players plus the 4 they add - assuming sarr, storr (mixed bag), Mirkovic (hard to project) , and someone else, this is just not athletic enough. we need more athletes and it was a problem this year. if thats the current group of players and storr doesnt play like he did at wisco the team looks pretty average at best...
Another portal pivot. And yeah Mirkovic will be paid pretty well if he comes but around what Sellers would have made.My main question right now is: where is the money that we would have given to Josh Dix going now?
Presumably not Storr - he’s been pitched as a bargain this year.
Has Sarr’s price gone up enough that he would be the answer to my question?
I wouldn’t think Mirkivic would be as too crazy expensive. Maybe similar to what we would have given Sellers?
Brad should play some zone next year.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.
would be a stud addition if they can pull it off.
Excellent player. Jordan and Pippin ended up loving him.My favorite bull. The unsung hero with a sweet 3pt stroke. MJ is thebut Toni was my fav. I was also number 7 on all my teams as a kid.
9 straight Sweet 16 appearances before this year.In the WAC, not really in the tourney.
Jens was a smart cookie though. In my calculus class my freshman year.My favorite line about Jen’s Kujawa - was when Dickie V had us #2 in his preseason rankings for 1988-1989. Lou said “How can you have us that high, did you know we lost our starting center Jens Kujawa who’s playing overseas?” Dickie V said “Lou, if I knew that I would have had you #1!”
Seems like Mirkovic might pop before Sarr...
If you're gonna insult how good Gonzaga has been, at least get the conference they've been playing in for years right.In the WAC, not really in the tourney.
Olaf went to Charleston HSUwe was pretty good, younger brother Olaf struggled a bit. Both 7ft+. From Germany via Effingham exchange students.
That streak doesn’t happen without always getting a top 5 seed every year avoiding conference losses every year. They lose to Oregon St and and Santa Clara and get swept my Saint Marys this year and get a 8 seed. I would have put them at a 6/7 seed but this is what happens when you play in a real conference.9 straight Sweet 16 appearances before this year.

Yes. I remember that. I know Lou did not find it amusing.My favorite line about Jen’s Kujawa - was when Dickie V had us #2 in his preseason rankings for 1988-1989. Lou said “How can you have us that high, did you know we lost our starting center Jens Kujawa who’s playing overseas?” Dickie V said “Lou, if I knew that I would have had you #1!”

Agreed- I got excited about the potential of him last year, he would be the alpha high volume scorer we needed. All of his shooting %’s dropped from the previous year, but he’s still someone you can build an offense around and he can be a good defender at timeswould be a stud addition if they can pull it off.
Confused. don’t see anyone on Florida state worth taking that has eligibilitywould be a stud addition if they can pull it off.
He would be an upgrade over Ben and Inthink that is how we have to look at it- he’s a good shooter, can play in the post a bit, he’s bigger/tougher than Ben and a better rebounder so if he’s playing that role and Ben doesn’t come back - I’m happy with that trade and Mirkovic obviously has a lot more upsideI don’t think folks realize how highly regarded Mirkovic is![]()
Show of hands… how many of you here have formed an opinion on Zach Hamer through first hand experience and inside knowledge of his capabilities and how many of you are just doing a junior high school style parroting of one vocal but influential person who seems to have an irrational, personal hatred for the guy and the way he dresses.
Look… I haven’t been happy with Illinois’ defense these past two years and if that’s all on the shoulders of Hamer he needs to either get better or go. But dear God… the juvenile name calling and constant sniping is bordering on Todd Goldin-level creepy.
