Dame is averaging a couple points per game.

Can we be surprised anymore when a top euro prospect is now commanding a huge number? It happens every season then we get upset we lose the bidding war. Underwood is gonna find his guys. I've stopped doubting that. I just now assume any name we are connected to won't even be on our radar come April.

Bingo ... Not many here even knew Mirk was a name ...

Center should not be as big a concern. We'll have Z and maybe (just maybe) Tomi. We need to figure out how to replace Boswell.
Yes, I think replace Boz, but would also love to see some more athleticism added too assuming Ty does not regain full athleticism. Ethan Brown helps, but one more athlete, imo.

Petro, AS, Lee & Wagler will be back … We are adding Morillo and he didn’t come here to sit … I’m high on Ethan Brown and think he will play a bench role … And we will have 7 figures plus to go get another stud …

I ain’t worried bout it … 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lots of talent that should return. I hope your posts ease some minds.

Can we give BU and the staff the benefit of the doubt when it comes to roster construction? Especially when we’re 2 games into the season BEFORE the one people are complaining about?

Seems like we are exceptionally set up for next year. Retention is the key.

Think Rodgers will stick around?

Retention is key … Brad wants his guys back …

Nothing truly shocks me anymore with the portal world …

If Ty left … I’d be shocked …

How many programs pay you for 2 years to do nothing … And to take it a step further … How many pay the fully agreed upon amount ? Not many … Not many …

We’ve been loyal to him … Him and Brad are CLOSE … I truly think Ty could at some point be on staff somewhere, maybe even here …

Do you think Mirk will exit?

I see Ty at nearly all the Illini women's games, too. He feels pretty bought into the Illini culture here.

Seems crazy to talk in absolutes regarding next year's roster these days.

Just re stating what the staff is hearing … And what their plans are …

They didn’t bring a lot of these guys in to be 1 year players …

I can say I don’t get the vibes I was getting from some guys who hit the portal last year from these new guys … I was on here in November and December last year saying how pissed Morez and his camp were …

Not a word about anyone being upset this year … I mean sure they’re upset they’re hurt and want to play … That’s to the be expected … But I’ve heard no drama …

I wish I was kidding but I'd take Ty on staff now over Hamer.

If he puts up numbers like this all year … He will be exiting …

For the NBA …
I watch how he runs and even with big numbers I am skeptical (and happy to be) about the NBA coming calling early. I think he might have a Luka Garza as a point forward career with a similar path to the NBA on a longer time horizon. If that happens in the O&B I'd be ecstatic.

Jokic doesn’t run very well either … Dude is pretty good …

Lot of scouts think Mirk is very similar to Jokic … If I’m a team in the later 20s … I like the potential …

Stojakovic stays? I like that. I transparently may be way too high on him. I thought he may have a chance to get drafted.
