Bright side: if we get Blackwell we don't have to worry about any of this.

 

[UIUCx10]

Weird, no goodbye message from Ty yet? Or did I miss it?

I could see Ty moving down a level, tearing it up for two years, and returning to the UI to join the staff in some capacity. He would be a great addition as a mentor.

Yeah.. yeah! I like this outcome! Wrap it up and ship it!

 

[RenoGray10]

So….if Morillo is on the floor next year, anybody know what position?

 

[joeybcrazy13]

Maybe a hot take … Maybe not …

If you’re a development piece and you’re playing games like dragging out the commitment and all that … Red flag …

Maybe the school he wants to go to is still figuring some things out??ILL

He will play. He’s pretty solid. 4 sometimes 3

All of them except center

 

[PepeSilvia]

Thrilled to hear this. Do WHATEVER you have to do outside of robbing a bank to get this done. Period.

As I said above, Blackwell is really good, BUT there are a bunch of high quality guards who would be really good here.

I have made it very clear that Paul McNeil would be a great fit here. There are many others.

[Altuve27]

Just to try and clear things up …

I think it’s Andrej …

Or Andrej and Blackwell …

And that’s it …

Staff really doesn’t seem to be showing any interest in anyone else right now …

Brad is not interested in pivoting or settling …

Does that surprise you? Just curious.

 

[tcb13]

Had to work late then read 22 pages...hate to hear about Ty, but will always love and laugh at the end of the video where he walks through and says his name after all the others. What a legacy!

 

[Todd99]

At this point is Andrej just messing with us? I mean, come on, what are they negotiating over? What does he want, a building named after him?

 

[HouTexIllini]

Sure. But that's like saying I would've preferred two dozen other players over Wagler at the beginning of this year.

No one knew Clark would be a flop, who knows if Podz would've been the same player without a 26% usage rate he had at Santa Clara or if he would've been able to maximize his potential under Brad.

It's not like the dude ended up at Duke or even Wisconsin/Marquette, the majority of high major basketball passed on the guy...so the gotcha-ism that pops up with folks saying ButwhataboutPodz when we won a b10 title the year he was here and then went to an e8 and a f4 since is confounding

But the majority of the high major basketball passed on Wagler with a 28.5% usage rate.

I’d want a starting spot, for starters.

Oh, and a piss pot full of cash.

[WhiteHorseWings]

Ah yes. I’d refer you to the oft-forgotten 12th commandment:

“thou shalt not question the insiders “

Wait, is that a doctor? Hope that doesn’t mean someone is hurt.

 

[Todd99]

Oh, and a piss pot full of cash.

He’s gonna get both…let’s get a BOOM! already!

 

[BBlock24]

Who the hell knows what's going on.

Boom

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Just curious and I know this is a next years problem. But what is our plan for the front line after next year? Big T and Big Z gone and chance Mirk gone too. Going to have to pony up a lot of money for bigs too.

Probably why a developmental PF is in play. I suspect our favorite agent has something stashed somewhere near the Adriatic Sea, that will ripe for the plucking when his other boys move on. At least I hope so…

No doubt… feels as thought that connection may be there for life
