Doubtful that is verified to be his, except for some fanboy having fun. The account popped up after the Final 4.

Amazing how much misinformation is on FB (and social media in general) and how easily it is to collectively fall for it.

You're 100% right. Sh**.

This is a fake account. Ugh...I got had, and I am usually great on sniffing these out. I wish I could delete my post from 15 min ago.

One of the true casualties of the modern era is we so rarely get to see freshmen blossom into sophomore and beyond. Imagine Freshmen Kendall Gill, Luther Head or Warren Carter playing in this modern era. They’d be the bad kind of one-and-done.

And it's this that makes you appreciate that CoHawk stuck around all four years. Rare these days in this era of college sports for sure.

Second place is 1st loser
This is purely a "could it be" thought, but one of the insiders commented that Brad got Miska to start thinking the right way because Petro didn't get any tick. Is there potentially a thought process that you keep less of our Balkins, but potentially kick in a little more to the ones we keep? So, cut bait with 2, but pay extra for 4?

That's actually how "normal" negotiations in business go, but there absolutely nothing normal about the portal and NIL.

I don't know if Lee will enter...

But I do like that kid, I think hes got great upside...and I think you probably could get him minutes off the bench, as your gonna need fill roles in the back court. I think he probably enters, but I'd be thrilled if we could keep him.

Lee would surprise me, just because we need developmental guys for depth and his role of ball handling/defense is a gap right now. Unless he wants to go somewhere and play more - but he could have done that out of HS and chose to come here instead. I would think he would have been eyes wide open that it would likely require a couple of years of not playing before his time would come

He was a 4-star, top 100 6’4” SG coming out of high school that showed promise in limited action. I really hope he sticks.

Honestly, one of the most unselfish plays I have ever seen. Petrovic’s season, obviously, didn’t go the way he wanted or expected,

It would have been very easy for him to go get a bucket or two for himself in those last few minutes. Instead, he chose to set up a beloved senior for an opportunity to have his moment.

Class act.

Absolutely!

JJ needs to be next to go because he hasn't shown anything in his 2 years and just like Lieb go to a mid-major program. Fagbemi really doesn't count because he fills a spot which can become available anytime. That is at least 5 open spots for portal or HS recruits.

Guessing you're projecting, but Ty and Keaton haven't formally announced plans.

Exit interviews went pretty well. If nothing else, they know where they stand with the players. Now it’s time to talk more to the agents and finalize deals. Could happen fairly quickly.

Everyone is coming back. Period. There are no guesses or questions.

Let me correct that. The ones we don’t need will not be coming back. Starters and freshman.

I have this visual of Brad having Mirk, Tomi, Z, Andrej, and Jake tied up in a basement like he’s in a “Saw” film.

“Do you guys want to play a game????” “You have two weeks to commit to the University of Illinois. If you do not do as I have requested, a poisonous gas will fill this basement. Make your choice, each of you…”
