they were. they were complementary guys here. both wanted bigger roles, which was questionable, at best, here. FWLIW, both made good calls

As a Bradley fan delete this comment. As an Illini fan, I think he may be too short, and not a good enough shooter...yet.
Colgate's 6'3 guard Jalen Cox is a great portal target IMHO. Think he will be high on many high Div1 programs. He is superfast, 42% from 3s, 55% overall. Very good rebound and assist numbers.

Can’t wait to watch him shoot 29% from 3 for us
We need a 47% 3 pt career shooter to play for us and hit 40%!

seems like it's destiny
Think Indy has been on that one as a potential target too
if a guy is stepping up in competition, I subtract 5% from their 3pt shooting and that has been pretty close.
They'll get much higher for the Boswell replacement. Cox is a possible target as a bench piece though.
Which Balkan country will they be from?
Brad loves the kid … Obviously Crocker connection helps …
Would be ELITE 6th man …
Hope wisky has a bad year and john blackwell enters the portal.
I liked your Sam Orme reference the other day too…
Serious portal candidate and if so, will they be able to keep him out of Indiana? Both of them will have sizable openings at the 3 and 4

Sounds a lot like Dix.
Collins is exactly the archetype that I'd love to see the Illini to continue to recruit heavily. We've seen how much pressure a plus athlete wing can put onto opposing teams.
All that being said...I think we are kicking the tires at best... (I hope I'm wrong!)
We have 3 '26 commits, will be going after multiple transfers...
6th man guard
Kylan replacement--Do you hedge a transfer against Lucas Morillo being handed the keys Day 1?
Big man?
Also, would it be an off-season without a big Euro signee?!
I’ve been an Orme fan since he was in HS … Kid always played his role … Rebounds like crazy … Hits shots at a very, very high clip … Always in the right spot …
I’ve been told he’s likely to enter the portal …
For what Collins will cost … I’d rather see what’s in the portal first …
Vandy & Washington very much trying to sell Stokes & Collins on coming and playing together …
