Guess who his agent is?

If they want $2M for a guy who averaged 6ppg then hard to fathom asking price for our guys…

Reality of the NIL era. This is Tomi and Z’s final college paydays and they held their own against Tarris Reed who dropped 26/9 vs. Duke’s frontline.

Dre got downhill and scored at key moments during the E8 and F4 games.

Mirk has potential to be B1G player of the year next year.

I would love to return all 4. Pay them. You have Jake. Add Blackwell. That’s a solid starting lineup with scoring options specialized for 3 levels (3pt line, mid-range, at the rim). Jake provides spacing and 3s. Tomi plays the Mara role with a serviceable 3pt shot you have to respect. Coleman starts.

Hope Z makes a year two jump and rediscovers his shot. Morillo provides gaurd depth. Add some backup pieces in the portal.

Top 10 team with a 1 seed ceiling and 3 seed floor. Worth the $10-15M budget we’ll have to spend.

IF Misko wants 2 mil for Jovic, imagine what he wants for our 4 guys? Its probably more than 15 mil total lol.

Figure it out this year.

Rather find a way to get away from the Euro philosophy next year if it continues to be a problem. Not good in the locker room if all these guys asking prices will be so unreasonable.

The mirage every offseason is people thinking only about the players that will be added before the cost reality of keeping your own players (and subsequent defections). I have faith in Underwood and staff putting together a great roster but getting from point A to B is going to be rockier than folks realize every offseason.

I have a feeling Andrej is gonna surprise us with his 3 point shooting next year. He knows it his key to getting in the league. I’m predicting 35%. Put that in his repertoire and he will be 1st team all big ten

I hope so. He has a unique, unconventional release but i hope it works for him. He kind of cocks and tosses it like Bird did instead of more like most shooters do .

Now just think what our guys are worth …

And what Misko thinks they’re worth …

And the $2 million for Jovic is legit … Had a coach at another school text me that he’s done dealing with Misko … Can’t waste time with that nonsense …

Illinois obviously has a good relationship with Serbian agent Miško Ražnatović because they take care of his clients.

But, he is being a bit difficult.

He IS an agent...and basically had 3 clients coming off stellar years in a "Contract Year"...he is playing the game, as he should, to get the best deal for his players. Ultimately the player (and their camp) will have the final say, but I wouldn't expect much of a discount. Also, I'm sure there are other schools who would take the package (Mirk, T, Z) so they can all stay together - at a much higher $ than we are offering...
