One of the most athletic, but didn’t receive a lot of minutes…..that can’t be right. /s

And we’re limited in NIL?

NIL comes from donors technically separate from the university

Can’t we just get khad to give us a blank check? I’m not even kidding.

We are right there in the race for Jackson after last night. Also am told Sarr told Duke and others if he doesn’t go NBA he’s going to ILL

As the self-anointed resident board expert on Oregon St, I was surprised to see him mentioned on the board, even if a bit tongue in cheek. But if looking for a bit less athletic foreign born player who will help us meet our quota of one Lithuanian player on squad, might I interest you Mr Lelevicius?

Why are you asking us? LOL

I’d rather take a reduced price Storr and use some of that money you saved somewhere else.

You're assuming that there's a "somewhere else" out there. You need a high profile player to want your money for the savings to make sense.

The market is rising. I think that much there for a sophomore instead of Watkins. All seems.too much though. I went to school on a baseball scholarship years ago and was blessed to have it. I also wasn't allowed to work while at school. Seems like a lot but the going rate I guess.
What the TV contracts give schools.os unbelievable.

I’m looking at that list and Florida and Houston are nowhere to be seen.

ZERO chance we get Jackson. Illinois is just not that program right now to just go in and steal away big fish.

as a player, i'd look at it a lot like Will if he were to come back - second year guy who can make a major difference, lots of potential.

You realize we’re only two days removed from the National Championship game, right? We’ve just now exited the prologue of portal season.

i'll never keep up with this

Illinois' Advantage in Potential Pursuit of Talented North Carolina Transfer

The Illini could be well-positioned to go after Tar Heels guard Ian Jackson, a hot commodity in the transfer portal

if somehow he does end up here however, i'd look at it a lot like Will if he were to come back - second year guy who can make a major difference, lots of potential.

Ofcourse. It's not my money.

Nope…we have a pretty good chance...

Only if that fish is European.... for some reason
