those early 21st century Illini MB teams 2020 going forward were awesome winning 10 straight NCAA basketball championships in a row and a total of 50 Natty's for all the 21st century solidifies their status as the greatest of all time college program prior to the AI period of integrated robotic-humanoid players taking over.......
that coach ( BU ) was ahead of the times with his Euro dominated roster's and 4D chess schemes......he retired as the winningest coach of all time , replacing some coach with a random alphabet generated name........he really really did..............
I'm certainly no basketball or recruiting expert...and I am a cup-51%-full person. But we may look back on this signing as a really big deal down the road. I realize that's not a "hot" take.

glad to see him signed and on board .........nice to have all 3 recruits in the fold and allowing the staff to turn their recruiting efforts to fill out with positional needs for 2027 and beyond .....I doubt we see any commits soon for the future years but we can make strides in getting to know who we want to maximize on...........
Welcome aboard. You chose the best school.

How’s his FT %?
Asking for an entire fanbase.
I don’t think you’ll get many likes for this.
Poor guy, he must be getting a huge bag because he sure won’t be getting developed there.
I'm thinking the exact same thing!
If Wagler can start on this year's team, then there's a strong chance that Morillo can do that as well. The height and length those 2 can bring alongside Stojakovic is a borderline NBA-type of backcourt.
Makes me drool.
Probably not, because we weren’t involved in this recruitment at all to my knowledge, so I’m dubious as to why it was posted here lol
Plenty of Morillo video on YouTube. Watching Dom. vs Australia from this summer's u19 world cup. Morillo looks best as a scoring lead guard- not as good off the ball at this point imo.
Yeah. I'm with you on most of this, but I'm convinced Petrovic should be our pg for three years. That doesn't rule out what you're saying about Wagler and Morillo.I'm thinking the exact same thing!

Wagler, Morillo, Lee and Petrovic will be a fun group of guards for next year (hope everyone stays/arrives).

We have great size and good shooting. I really liked what I saw of Petrovic. No injury and it would have been battle Royale between Wagler and Petrovic for 2nd guard slot.
I do think getting Wagler and Boswell mpg game down will help. Get them down to 25 mpg to keep them fresh and give the 20 minutes to Petrovic.
---- Wagler played 36 minutes vs Bama and 35 minutes vs Texas Tech.
----Boswell played 33 minutes vs Bama (foul trouble) and 38 minutes vs Texas Tech.
Our 2026 freshman class is same - Brown 6'4" CG, Davis 6'9" PF, Murillo 6'7" 2G/SF
We are vulnerable to quick athletic guards (Alabama) and our running game is better than last year but still average.
Petrovic likes to run and is reasonably quick.
No doubt we will lose some players to portal. Hopefully we can bring in some athleticism to balance with our great size. Defense and fast breaks are important.
