Great photo! Great news! Great returning talent!

Now let's just get that superlative "ATHLETE," dead-eye shooter, and Wagler replacement (no offense to Vaaks) to be what I would call the offensive centerpiece heading into 2026-27.

If our $$ is comparable (which every insider has claimed it is )there is just no comparison between rosters even if they get 2 more huge transfers. Player/coach continuity can't be touched by any of the other suitors LETS GET THIS DONE!!!!

Approaching 60 yrs of Illini BB for me. Fondly recall early names like Dave Scholz, Randy Crews, Denny Pace, Greg Jackson, Rick Howett, Les Busboom, Mike Price, Jim Dedecker, “Spoon”, Nick Conner, etc, etc. Loved them all, and all since…and still praying for that NC run!!

I guess this also silences all the Brad naysayers who said he couldn’t retain talent.
