i dont think fland coming here to not start.

What will it take to get Brad to show up for his next press conference in an orange track suit and a flat cap??

 

[BBlock24]

Great! We need a new reason to be anxious and miserable.

Misery does love company.

I never considered it before, but BU definitely has RBF: Resting Balkan Face.

The Balkan Five

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed KJ and Riley, but this roster is gonna be OLD and that’s going to be awesome. Expect a much cleaner product.

Seniors- Boswell, Rogers, Humrichous
Juniors- Ivisic, Ivisic, Stojakovic, Petrovic*, Davis
Sophomores-
Freshman- Mirkovic, Lee, Wagler

Rodgers will be a redshirt junior

I don’t want Indy to @ me but I think Ben coming back is a really positive thing. Shows good faith and relations with the staff. Continuity of returning players. Veteran. Someone we know CAN get hot.

Control his minutes and I see it as a big plus.

Hoping for the big year 2 jump now that is more used to the level of competition

This is all I asked for all last year … And better happen this year …

If the shots not falling … meet bench …

Andrej.....

Never. In. Doubt.

 

[Gbop]

How about Coach Leggings??? That’s what I really wanted to know.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

It feels amazing! Couldn't find him dancing! Lol ILL!

 

[Illinichillin]

Once they have the pieces together, will there be an assistant coaching announcement? You mentioned delays in announcing are sometimes due to the activity allowed in recruiting when not on the payroll.

I hope Geoff gets a huge raise

 

[Illini4Christ]

Add the great Will Riley if he doesn’t like what he hears from the NBA or when he realizes that he can make more money at Illinois while playing himself in a position to get drafted in the top five in 2026.

 

[TheGMan]

I miss Giorgi

Brad is really the best lmfao

No ******* way he just did that LMAOOOOOOOOOO

 

[thefalcon5]

Ball handling on this team will be massively improved and it was already pretty darn good. Understated aspect of this roster.

Defense concerns me, but I’m hopeful.

Dan en fuego the last 18 hours with the GFIs.

Is there anywhere more joyous than a post-BOOM Loyalty? And is there anywhere more dire and desperate than a pre-commitment, BOOM-doubting Loyalty?

Great news, way to go Brad and staff. Feels awesome to beat out a big name blue blood for a top player even though UNC has a little less Lustre right now.

 

[Dawgss4life]

Exactly what I’ve been saying. My sources are second to none!

How about this one Indy?

 

[battle]

Will go into it more later, but expectations are sky high next year.

Second weekend/beyond or bust. Old team that has high end talent and is very deep.

I am hoping they are all on campus during summer. I can't remember who/when details, but last year many of the players didn't arrive until late July/early August and that stunted team/individual growth.
