I still remember Brad jumping off the bench to chew out Alstork in the Indiana game.

But have you heard the rumors of Mike Thorne Jr? Big if true.
Oh??? We talking by end of day? What’s the timeline?
I was shocked when he was voted as an all defensive player. He had his fair share of trouble defensively in my opinion. I expect a "lock down" guy when I see an all defensive list but he was far from that. Was he an above average defender, yes. A great defender no. Just my opinion.
You know it’s a big time Indy post… when there’s 41 likes in 21 minutes lol.
I thought that was tiger woods just checking onto rehab

I'd advise looking up what Marcus Domask's AST%'s were at SIU.
You've gotta have guys with great feel for ball movement to play Tyler-ball. That's the weakness with Andrej, Blackwell is fine for a 2 but not for a 1, and then you add a freshman mystery box.
You are right that Mirk and Tomi are plus for their position, but they ain't Domask, and none of the above are Wagler.
Well if you're going to break the seal into the Groce era let's get a bit of Khalid Lewis going.
I was not aware that Lendeborg was of Dominican background. The question I have is did Illinois ever try and recruit Lendeborg? Orlando Antigua's background is also Dominican. Was Brad and/or Orlando not impressed with Lendeborg?

You didn't get the memo that all players leaving must be replaced by the same exact sized guys and the offense will be exactly the same. We can not deviate.
So, I went and looked back at the posting history of our insiders.
Here’s the ones I found:

And if we do try to remember, the staff and players were talking up Wagler throughout the off-season. Yes, nobody saw him being a consensus 2nd team All American… but there was always hints that he was way better than expected.

If we can get Ahmad Starks, or Sam Maniscalco to play PG, we are all set.
oh yeah...Linda Carter had those perfect.....blue eyes.
Buzz of him being VG came in the summer...
One and Done? Look no further that one afternoon at Mackey Arena.
EvanMiya.com is what I used. Keep in mind 8 points is per 100 possessions, so is the equivalent of 0.08 per single possession.
FOX Sports Data has him consistently between 0.6-0.9 defensive points per possession over his career, which is elite (even though I don't agree he's an "elite" defender; the bar that was set that I am crossing with my commentary was he "isn't good" which is far from the same argument as "isn't elite").
It's what nearly always happens with these types of discussions on here. There are many people involved in every discussion so the goal posts move around as different people chime in.
Who are the goofs buying a Fletcher Loyer jersey last week ?

NBA draft stock wise that might be the most money a player has ever made in one game.
46 on 17 shots, did that really happen? Was that a dream?
If his dad said he was not leaving the big 10 that is good for us..
In a battle with the Devils right now …
Duke people seem confident but have said they have plenty of options on the table so better make up your mind relatively quickly … Illinois people seem confident and have made it known he’s their guy …
I don’t think Blackwell wants to wait forever on this … But holding out for a little while to get some extra cash is the smart move …
