I literally just looked it up! I thought he got better down the stretch and hit a couple bug ones vs purdue..34.3% from 3 last year. Not great but I think he would improve next season and I'm fine with him off the bench.

Because it’s currently tied up on the Bulls moneyline? Just wait until tomorrow and buy two.
He needs to be able to attack closeouts... so guys can't just sprint at him on catches or face guard him at the 3 point line... was a huge reason he had so much trouble just getting a shot off later in the season after teams figured that out

Sure, but then Ty and we'll see where we go from there. Michigan also has some relevant returnees themselves.
I just like the 4v4 since (a) it's so apples-to-apples and (b) it's the #1 portal class in a marketplace that everyone is freaking out about our apparent weakness.
Believe me, if we don't finish our shopping in a strong way, ya boy Gritty will be the first one to be declaring that we're in trouble next season.
"What's the Sarr Plan B" looms as an uncomfortable question.
But I just think we're a lot closer to something we should be excited about than many folks here who seem to only care about Twitter-buzzed portal battles.

Figures, while we are waiting to hear from our top targets guys like these who would have been great for us sign with other teams. We need to quit waiting on these guys to make up their minds and go after players like Eaglestaff like they are our top priority and get our roster filled
Can illini swing jackson and Sarr? I'd don't think that works...will it?
O have not seen enough of Mirk to say Rez is better. Rez can rebound and get lobs abs put backs. That's about it. Mirk can do much more than that and is skilled. He also is a strong post banger. He can't rebound like rez bit what else does it look like rez really does better? Not much that I've seen besides rebound like a mad man.
Also a major player for…
I would take my chances with Rice, especially at a lower cost.
How about neither
He’s coming to the beloved
Yes I had the the scrambled eggs and polish sausage and cheese
feel like sarr keeps slipping.
taking way to long to close the deal, even if they do close the deal its a big "overpay". its gone up 1mil since last month it feels like

Who won the BIG Ten and made a deeper run this year? May is pulling together a good recruiting class and is a good coach.This is the part I really think is crazy.
Cadeau is an erratic and limited player. Great passer, fun to watch, but doesn't guard, turns it over a lot, undersized, a lot of sizzle for not a lot of steak.
Boswell is so complete, he's the kind of guy that makes a team better.
Not even close between the two IMO.
Tomi is a lot better than Mara.
We all saw and believed Morez was going to take a big step next year that would put him above Z (who has physical limitations that make that next step more dubious for him) but it's still a bit speculative.
Yaxel could be so much better than Mirkovic that he swallows the whole exercise, but especially on a team that's going to use him in a slightly different way let's not hand him B1G POY just yet.

The team that just lost the MVP of their bowl game? A lot of Illini are feeling down today.
You love you some DGL. You know Dre shot 25.5 from 3. I like Dre too but I like Ben too. I will say this though. I would much prefer Ben Taking a 3 than Dre or even playing playing over Dre. Many wanted Dre over Boz when Boz was struggling but BU stuck with him. I do agree with you that Riley and Rez should have played more but Brad saw practice and didn't give up on Ben based on that. If he stays I think Brad has a good reason for keeping him and is expect Ben to shoot better next year off the bench. I think Ben is still a better option than Jake to play limited minutes.
He’s smart to hold out cause the less talent left in the portal, the more his price goes up.
Haven't you heard? That's cuz Brad and the gang were holding him back from showing his true self: the 3 point skills of Steph Curry, the midrange game of Drew Gooden, and the big man handles/passing of Jokic! Just ask Morez Sr.
