Good luck, Ty.

I’m honestly depressed.
I get it, after a year of starting and two years of not playing for one reason or another, there's places at P4 destinations where there are roles bigger than "10th guy off the bench that plays 5-7 minutes a game behind Mirkovic".
Still sad.
First guard off the bench and first big off the bench usually get pretty good minutes, and maybe one other guy. Past 8 guys the minutes usually get pretty sparse if everyone's healthy and stays out of trouble. Looking at that roster even with the questions that remain, it looks really strong and should see some great competition as guys push each other.

Character, grit, role model.
Thank you, Ty Rogers.
Thank you, Ty Rogers.
Obviously a moot point for us now, and wherever he goes is getting a player with great attributes regardless...
But super curious if there were any strides made with his shooting over the last two years
I guess we'll find out from afar next year

Happy for him. He's already had 2 years of not being able to play. I don't see a path for him this year for any meaningful(if any) minutes. He needs to go somewhere and restart his career. Hopefully, he can ...injury free.
I hope he comes back in some sort of smaller position on the staff.

It's a bummer, but I'm surprised people are surprised.
Obviously it has been a weird situation and I was personally stunned when he chose to come back this year and will always wonder how he would have been integrated if he wasn't hurt, but the moment he chose to redshirt I assumed we would never see him on the floor again, and ALL of his peers in the program are gone. He's a Chester Frazier era player.
Thanks for everything, Ty. One of many who helped build the bridge to where we are today.
Have to say this again: Hum is my 3D hero! Hope he lands his feet somewhere that pays him well.

Ty is one of my absolute favorite Illinois players. I am assuming he's walking across the stage and getting a University of Illinois degree. But even if he isn't, he's been an excellent program guy. And his rebounding tenacity in the 2024 B1G Tourney is one of my favorite memories of this era. I guess when the culture is carried on by people like the Ivisic Twins and David Mirkovic, the need for someone like Ty decreases. I just don't want him to go to East Lansing.
Basing that off one game ? I mainly mean ultra athletic can get out and run. Etc. not a hoss. Small forward to power forward type
It really does suck and i wish he had developed a jumper. He couldve been totally different. Regardless, i wish him nothing but the best. I do think its a wise choice for Ty if he wants to play extentsive minute his final season.
Well dang, Ty is a very special young man and will be missed dearly. Someone will be getting a guy with a lot to prove, a very good basketball player, and an even better human being! I hope he has an amazing season next year and will always be a favorite of mine and my daughter! Best of luck Ty, you will be missed!
Godspeed Ty
