Yes, you did. Many, many, many, many times. Love you man.

Besides the obvious ability to stretch the floor? Dude has been an ace defensive player too.
He had nearly twice as many blocks and steals last year as Ty has in his career.

Why does anyone still think Riley could come back? How has this not died yet?
Too many minutes for Ben and the other PTs will depend heavily on match-ups IMO, something most of us agree that Brad excels at utilizing when he has the appropriate players which I think he now does.
Without him we'd have no orange fizzy drink to consume!

If anyone is bored and wants to watch a couple future Illini. Petro playing Mirk. Promise this is not a scam!

Will Riley having a bad showing at the Combine could make this team a consensus preseason Final Four team.
I know, I know...1st round...but I'd love to see him and Andrej on the wings together with a sensational True PG in Petrol (I know it's not his name but the guy plays with some fire so it's fitting)
I think that the Illini could also use another "off the bench shooter" next season. Specifically, 6'6" 225-pound Senior Guard Damari Monsanto, who played for UT San Antonio this past season. Monsanto averaged 11.1/4.0/1.4 while shooting 40.7/42.0/93.3 for the season. Lots of experience, and a consistently elite 3-point shooter. Probably an affordable option also.
My cousin Betsy was a cheerleader at Stanford and is visible on about the 12 yard line running off the field. She was petrified!Stanford basketball fans — both of them — feeling like this right now:
I'm hoping that Will is watching the NBA playoffs and has come to the conclusion that he would get pummeled/abused every day in practice and in any game in which he plays. I love Will and believe he will be drafted, but I don't think his body is ready for the NBA. Wishful thinking? Probably. But what would we be without wishful thinking?
A Boogie Fland type of talent???Depends who we can get …
Lot easier to go to a donor and say hey, I need some help financially and I can get for example Will Riley … He’s ready to commit … I just need your help …
Donor sees tape of said player …
Donor sees superstar …
Donor sees winning …
Donor sees potential march success …
Donor hands over…
Great write-up in SB Nation:
Illinois men’s basketball built a European pro team in college hoops
“The Illini have gone all-in on Euro players, and it’s something college hoops has never really seen before”.

Doesn't torvik have a hard time assessing foreign players coming to NCAA for the first time? If I recall correctly, last year KJ and tomi didn't move the needle much in our preseason projection.
So not sure if Petro and Mirko are in the same position.

Brad Broz Tito saw the impact Clingan had in ‘23-‘24 and thought, why not dominate with two 7-footers?
(Not saying the Ivisic brothers are Clingan-level—but the potential is real.)
But was a great form tackler
Ty would absolutely be good being the 6th man on a high quality team. Plus, he’s a good 6th man because he can come in and play a variety of positions depending on the substitution.What a big time land for Underwood and Co. This team is taking shape.
Petro
Boswell
Andre
Rodgers
Tomi
That's my opinion, I don't think Rodgers stayed to come off the bench. Either Rodgers or Big Z will play at the 4. Playing big Z is probably the better option but the Rodgers fan in me would like to see him start.
