I wouldn't recommend gardening either

Did you have a scout on Petrovic and Mirkovic? I also couldn't name KJ when we lost AJ Storr.
I just don't think it is constructive to assume that Stojakovic is the ONLY player that will play the Alpha role we need for next season. Experience tells me that the staff will get the piece we need regardless of the list we currently think is Plan C.

Possibly in LA area. Ever seen UCLA campus? Near Beverly hills, between Rodeo drive and Sunset Blvd.
My experience is different. Last year we filled the spots with high quality guys after falling pretty short of expectations in the portal. But those two late adds were young and that was part of our problem this past season.
But if you enjoyed the experience this year, then I don't even think an addition is necessary. I think we're set up now to have a season as good as last year. If you want to rise in the B1G rankings and make a deeper run, I don't even think young highly regarded players like KJ and Will are going to make the difference.
If you pay any attention to my post, there would be no reason to talk about AM. I said a several days ago that we are not interested in paying anything near what he wants Our interest in him was very minimal. We did not “go after” AM.
Sales tactics?!
Ok, its really catchy lol. Dang it. I was hoping it wouldn't be lol

FWIW if we ended up with boogie + one more solid piece I would be just as (if not more) satisfied with us getting Andrej. I’ve been very optimistic about Andrej but I like the idea of getting boogie as well
I don’t post often, but read daily. Why cant a young kid just wait and reflect on decisions? Isn’t that what we teach as parents? Not to make quick decisions. He may commit here, (I think he does) or he may not. It’s his future my man.
I’m not picking you out specifically, your post just inspired me to post.
We have to make some talk in the mid term, but the way some of y’all act is borderline mid school-ish. Let a young man decide. The staff has done what they can do. Sit back and watch. There’s a reason why (most) all of us are sitting on the sidelines, better yet, C section.
You all sit here on the edge of your seats waiting for Lville, Indy, 0440, DB, Fla, and others can’t think of right now. (Love ya Pru) and then **** on them the moment something doesn’t work out. They’re doing god work out here.
Give some grace

I only recently realized but the “Fla” you speak of I assume you mean is FI_8905 which is capital F and capital I as in fighting Illini 1989 and 2005I don’t post often, but read daily.

I know a lot of folks feel this way and he didn’t have a good game against us, which personally clouded my view of him, but since the insiders brought his name up as having some mutual interest (and he seems like a mid second rounder right now so a real chance he comes back), I did a little more research into him. Having too many quick ball handlers, elite passers, excellent 3pt shooters, disruptive defenders and guys that can go get a bucket, is a good problem to have. In the regular season before he got hurt he was playing great/ he’s so good at basketball he would fit anywhere- this is what he did in 21 games before being hurt
15.1 ppg
5.7 asst
3.4 reb
1.5 stl
1.4 TO
36.5% from three
50% on catch and shoot threes
The dream would be him and AS, so it’s not a choice but an addition- but if AS goes elsewhere Boogie can be a high level scorer who can play on ball or off ball and be a huge addition
Apparently the UNC board thinks they got him. We will just pivot. It will he fine.

are we ever going to get there ??..nerves are frayed , confidence is festering fast........resolution is idling causing chaos throughout the known world.....................other than that , it's a beautiful day in the Loyalty neighborhood.....................
Under normal circumstances what you are saying makes perfect sense. Waiting around during the transfer portal season though can be disastrous.I don’t post often, but read daily.

Idk guys… Andrej is still following a bunch of Illinois dudes on ig but not any UNC guys. Granted, there are only like 2 players on that roster right now but still. My moneys on us getting him.
They'll still get the money they ask for, under the table.
Exactly. Crazy that some fans want to get rid of NIL.
Pre NIL every top 30 program paid their players under the table except for Illinois. The result was late Weber years and Groce years which was the darkest period in IL basketball history.
