We still need a 4th big
We have a high twitch, solid shooter in JJ if he an ever gets some self-confidence, experience, and the game slows down for him. Also needs a good recovery from injury. Nevertheless, those qualities are not easy to find in a guy 6'10"....and he is on the roster the past two years. Maybe BU has seen enough good things (which we have had little chance to see) to have a plan for JJ? No one knows, but we have seen flashes of great talent that with work, can be grown into yet another B1G warrior.

Blackwell possibly to Louisville smoke real?

Haven’t heard that …

Louisville spent like $9 million today …

I’ve made it pretty clear what I think happens with Blackwell and where things stand … And I don’t think it’ll take till May 4th, it will be much sooner than that …

Duke is targeting multiple guys at his position all of a sudden … I would say that’s not a coincidence …

Does anyone know if Vaaks visited campus? Just curious how this all worked out.

Does Vaaks help, hurt or no impact on a) retention of Andrej, Mirk, Tomi, Z, Jake, and b) pursuit of Blackwell?
Can only help... my optimistic a
Opinion...

I reckon this translates to Wednesday this week for Blackwell.

Wasn’t trying to discredit anything. Just saw a text a couple times on social media, figured it was probably fake but wanted to see if anyone with sources had heard anything. So i appreciate the response! Like the info about where we’re at with Blackwell!

There are more schools involved with John Blackwell than just Illinois and Duke.
I can't imagine anyone is very surprised with that. People entering him into a potential starting lineup got unhinged.

Once we have our own guys back I'll have more interest in the portal transfers. If we lose any of the bigs or Drej....that would kill the off-season.

To follow up on this, Illinois is still in the thick of it, but they have multiple guys ready in case it falls through.
