You’ll see … You’ll see …

I assume he will be classified as a Sophomore like Tomi was this year?

 

[Thompson1]

Petrovic gives me Collin Gillespie vibes or Krisa but It seems he’s way more under control than Krisa

 

[EmeraldCityIllini]

Does this hurt or help our chances at Andrej? That's all I want to know at the moment.

Yes

 

[The Dying Illini]

Ant getting the Illinois fans fired up

I was going to ask the same with the news of us backing off on Adam Miller.

Gotta do a little more digging here but this looks to be our most ridiculous disguising of a fully professional adult basketball player as a collegian yet!

My exact first thought

Woah

indy, what year is he gonna be classified as. junior?

Eligibility don’t matter anymore … Expect every guy to be here 1 year … Anything more is a bonus …

I believe he’ll have 2 years … Something they’ve gotta figure out …

 

[zentrails]

Veteran PG who can handle the freaking ball …

Good enough to start, Indy?
It would be nice to have Bos play off ball right from the get go, IMO.

Brad clearly loves this wild west version of college basketball. No rules. Just do whatever you want. 28 year old averaging a triple-double in the Alaskan Igloo League? Sign him up.

I am no expert, I just guessed that he would go the Tomi route, make a charitable donation and be called a Soph.

So where is stojakovic going

 

[Thompson1]

Is the staff worried about any Visa issues?

Any issue with admissions or does that even factor anymore?

He actually reminds me of a quicker Braden Smith from watching the highlights on him.

Really goes to show you how tight-lipped Underwood is. Wow.

Just need one player each from Bosnia, Slovenia, and Macedonia.

 

[Thompson1]

Honestly I think Underwood and the staff are changing the college game similar to Glory road and what Texas Western did, just with Europeans

Kudos to Underwoodic and Alexandric!! Needed this news. Now time for the big fish and waiting for November!

 

[TampaToo]

That’s just Ic!
