Agree - I think the comp of Braden Smith is a good one - unsure of the competition level in Petrovic video.
I keep hearing the comp and I can see some of it; however looking at the shooting numbers from 3 he isn't doesn't look like the elite long range bomber that I think is a large part of why Braden is so good.

He’s already played college ball for five years.. What’s going to change in year 6? His 3 point shooting percentage was very similar last year as it was in the past. Is his D going to improve? Doubtful.

If we need a spot, tell Jakstys to hit the bricks. The kid will do nothing at Illinois except sit on the bench all year and then transfer to somewhere he can play at

Ok, you lured me in to respond. You're comparing a guy that you've watched probably three total minutes on a YouTube video to an All American PG on a team that won a couple of national championships.

How did you arrive here?

If he backs out it wouldn't even be close to the Alexander or IDKWTI.

The program is in a good place. We'll be a good team next year without him. We'll be much better with him it would seem.

The other two set our program back dramatically. It changed the coaching careers of each of those guys.
But if we had landed Alexander we would likely still be on NCAA probation.

Florida, North Carolina, Gonzaga, USC and a few others haven’t given up on Stojakovic as of a few hours ago.

There was some belief that he signed an NIL contract this morning before leaving Champaign.
His dad is worth 45M, hard to imagine this is really about the $...right?

We’re going to be very active … Let’s just say some donors that had some reservations are starting to see the full picture …

Many saw what Kentucky was spending for this year and what a handful of others and said okay … We need to give more if we want to compete at a higher level …

Now they ain’t forking over huge coin for mid major players but if Brad and O can get a Boogie or Claude and it comes down to money within a certain range … I’ve heard there will be support … Beyond the resources already at our staffs disposal … Similar to the Will Riley situation last year …

Top 10 NIL … 👀
Once AS and the Illini nail down an agreement it’s possible we’ll look at one of the above. The thought tho is neither one of them would accept anything else but starting. Can’t guarantee anything.
