To be fair the 21 team that went to the final four had an incredible run but made that run as an 11 seed and went to OT with MSU in the play in game.

They improved from 11 seed to a 4 seed with all their retention and then got bounced in the sweet 16 in a close game with a UNC team that was up 15 at halftime in the national championship game.

Maybe it was overly optimistic in retrospect, but that UCLA team was ranked #2 in the preseason.

Boy this team is going to be loaded. Fear the Illini. Just stay healthy boys. ILL

Never has this team needed Fletch more. So much on the line for this upcoming year. Keep em in shape and healthy!!! He’ll be the unsung hero when it’s all said and done.

Indy Illini do we have any BOOM’s for Blackwell. Asking for a friend.

 

[NarrowJ]

If we get Blackwell too, Wisconsin people might line up in droves to jump into Lake Michigan

Like a John Blackwell-type.

I can see the vision.

 

[skyIdub]

Blackwell would be crazy not to get on this rocket ship right now.

Extra mustard please!

Anywhere we can show the kid some love. Everyone's excited about the retention.

UCLA is landing a guard tonight …

I’m okay if it’s this guy:

Matt Able - North Carolina is among his top seven. He is currently in Los Angeles working out, and visited UCLA this week. NC State transfer. 6-6. 205 ranked No. 28 in the portal and the No. 5 shooting guard. Able averaged 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.9 assists last season as a freshman at NC State. He shot 41.6% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range, and 79.6% from the foul line. Roughly 55% of his shot attempts were from behind the arc.

This made me nervously flip to the portal tracker and scour over the Crystal Balls…

Getting our heart rates up, Indy!

Burn in hell, Bo Ryan.

Undy's gotta be selling the vision of handing the '27-28 team's reins over to the HUGE freshmen class. That's the only way to explain no defections from them. Continue down the retention path and only fill in with transfers as needed. No complete overhauls.
