There’s only one thing left to do…..

Playing professionally in Puerto Rico's BSN with the Atléticos de San Germán. I caught his game the other night—solid showing with 9 points off the bench. He’s playing behind former Indiana Pacer Joe Young and averaging 10 PPG and 3 APG in just 17 minutes per game. So far, he looks steady, focused… and thankfully, still pre-concussed.

Not the update on Sarr I was hoping for- it would be good to get his commitment even knowing he still might go through the NBA process - it’s getting into a bidding war with Duke that I’m worried about

I really hope KJ has an influence if the $$ is close. I think he enjoyed the freedom and PT BU allowed him even if it stressed me out! Sarr would be one of the top options here with BU and i am not as sure he would at Duke. I hope that matters to Sarr and KJ let's him realize it a better situation here.

Duke has four 5 stars already signed

Cam Boozer - center
Henderson 6-6 sf
Khamenia 6-8 F
Cayden Boozer 6-5 guard

Lot of McDAA competition for playing time. Plus Duke will bring in strong portal class

He actually was one of team worlds best post defenders against the big guys in the post. Something we missed last season. Glad to have a little more beef in the post especailly after an offseason with Fletch!

just adding to what others have already said, Mirkovic was the real deal against top level competition that was playing legit basketball (full court press, actual half court defense). a couple of plays he was limited in d by athleticism but overwhelming on both sides of the court he was smooth, well controlled and more than able to match the competition.

im super excited for him to come. in along with the twin towers , they can create front court mismatches the entire game.

Completely agree. Looking forward to seeing M’ovic in the coming season.

Maybe Fletcher can make a Jim Rowinski ( Mr. Beach) out of Mirk. I still remember how he just bullied and out muscled everyone. They are identical size

Miller would not make any sense. Who started this ridiculous nonsense rumor one of the so called insiders that’s been wrong about everything . Adam Miller will not be on Illinois

Having to wait until the end of May for Sarr is going to be brutal. But at least we can mentally prepare for the wait now.

Likely towards the end of May is the word I’ve heard …

We’re also keeping tabs on the Will Riley situation … I fully expect him to be a 1st rounder and for him to go to the NBA but crazier things have happened …

With a decision at the end of May, does that put us in a box with waiting that long if he decides to go to the NBA

Been a crazy busy week … Apologies for the limited posts … Here’s the updates …

Ace Wolf … Fully expect him to be an Illini … Wants to win … Wants to do it back at home … Really, really solid role player …

Sarr … Meeting with him today … Number is going to be $2.5 million and Duke is very much involved, they aren’t exactly thrilled with how the Ament recruitment is going and don’t wanna miss on both …

I did not have an Adam Miller redemption arc on my 2025 Bingo Card

So has the big dog we have been waiting on hit the portal yet? Guessing not or the staff is doing really good job on radio silent mode
