Piper: Bidding farewell to a special place & a cherished career
Derek Piper shares the news of his departure from Illini Inquirer.

Hearing Ben may have to play some 3 makes me want to cry. We all saw him on defense when forced to guard on the perimeter. He became passable when filling in for Morez at backup center and not having to roam the perimeter. Along with playing less minutes in general.
There's a large hole at backup guard but I feel more confident in Lee filling there as here vs Ben at backup 3.
Even before Ty injury it was noticeable there's a lot of duplicate talent players on this roster....and most are poor defenders.
I've heard many in media think Illinois is a top 2-3 team in B1G. I personally don't see it at all w/o Ty. There's 2 ends of the court and one end Illinois looks like it could historically bad as looks now along with a lack of athleticism. I've heard comps with recent Iowa teams ...and that seems like a solid comp to what's currently on the Illini.
Completely understandable with family but dang that sucks as enjoyed him on their podcast (still will but will be different)Piper: Bidding farewell to a special place & a cherished career

writing (lol) has been on the wall for a bit. best of luck to Piper, good writer and seems like a very good person
Yes, a very good person, and one that has his priorities straight. Best wishes to him and his family. You will always be part of the Illini "family".
What writing on the wall?
Why does somebody always feel the need to be a dick?
Not sure I see the floor being lowered much from last season...
Morez - Big Z (Morez may have a higher ceiling, but was foul prone & this ended up Ben for a chunk of time...think the floor doesn't move)
White - Andre (same floor?)
Riley/KJ/Booth - Mirkovic/Petrovic/Lee (not a high bar for floor)
when it is said & done - I think we are better at 4/5 with added depth, optimistic that Andre is as good as White at the 3, Petrovic probably not much different that KJ (especially if you count a couple easy runouts from bad tunovers
Maybe a better scheme?
I don't see a defensive juggernaut, but I'm hopeful we will be marginally better & expect some improvement in the front court mostly from depth. Just sort of hard to imagine us taking a step back.

nothing overt, just a feeling that he was getting ready to tap out
What does that mean
Definitely going to miss Piper. Class act and very connected.

I dont see that in Werner's goodbye at all.
if the expectation is Ty likely won't play, seriously did not expect we wouldn't add anybody.
