Bye Bye Lee?
Just entered the portal, so yes.
Didn't impress me once in his walk-on minutes. I would imagine he transfers down a level.
0% chance he’d come here to back up MirkAllen Graves seems to be what you would create in a lab to be the backup for Mirk. He only started 4 games for Santa Clara as a freshman so he might not demand a large role this year. He had 2.8 offensive rebounds in 22.6 mpg last year which is a crazy high rate. Shot 41% from three on 2.6 attempts per game and somehow got 2 steals per game which means he’s in the passing lanes a lot. Seems to be just what the doctor ordered- a stretch four that can rebound at a high rate and attack the offensive glass

.You do realize this guy is in the draft process and Duke and LSU are recruiting him?The staff seems to feel good about the current roster with the 14 players we have now. Even if they feel good about the guard rotation of Vaaks at PG, Coleman at SG and Morillo and Lee being able to contribute, they must realize we’re thin in the front court. Big T, Big Z and Mirk are great but if there is a foul fest or if someone gets hurt heaven forbid, I don’t think anyone is comfortable going with Morillo or Jake at the PF for extended minutes- so IMO, the four spot should be where they use the last roster spot.

I think the rule would be that you have 5 years to play up to 5 seasons. This past year was already his 5th (and his 5th season playing, which was granted since his first two were NAIA, not NCAA)
edit: and I think the 5 years starts immediately after high school graduation or the 19th birthday (whichever comes first).

- how was I to know, she was with the Russians too?
too much of a risk (of being buried) for him to stay. sad, but completely understandable (only so many minutes to go around)
Would the guard be a starter or bench piece?
Lee would be wise to move down and get major minutes to boost his value next portal. Wise decision IMO on his part to do it now and not burn another season at Illinois sitting the bench/limited minutes
DGL stayed at Illinois 1 more year than he should have IMO. He moved down and got himself a nice payday this portal

Is there no limit as to how many grad degrees can be bestowed on a single individual?

That's a bummer. He'll be a good pick up for someone.
Not doing so would be a low IQ move, imo. Our guard depth is extremely thin.

Yup. As it stands now, there's no legitimate depth behind Vaaks and Coleman.
Two open roster spots now.
We know Vaaks, Coleman, Stoj, Mirk, Tomi, Z and Jake Davis will be big minute guys. Morillo and possibly some of the other freshman more spot-minutes.
Need one impact guy and one developmental. Personally, if it isn’t a no-brainer grab like Blackwell, get a defensive-minded guard. Then, could get an athletic, project big to learn under Antigua but also potentially be there in case of injury.
