Boswell 5th year with the possible new eligibility rule going into effect in May??????

 

[Illini4Christ]

An NCAA ruling on the fifth year?

 

[DrunkWastedHammeredIllini]

???

 

[chibar]

is boswell the fifth retention piece?

 

[sacraig]

This clue can only mean one thing:

Scientists cloned Kobe and Illinois just landed him for next season! Talk about dream 9th rotational piece!

 

[JoseyWales83]

I think it means Boswell might be back if the NCAA passes the 5 for 5.

 

[hangdog]

Clearly it means....

 

[Dr Copejam]

5th year? Does this means Kylan comes back? Big question, does he fit now? What about Ben?

 

[Illiniforlife]

Welcome back, Kylan Boswell

Would this involve trying to get Barney Rubble to finally wear Illini gear?

How sloppy would it be for the NCAA to allow the 5th year for current graduating players after portal season is over. Thats gotta be for future offseasons, right?

5 in 5 would be awful in general, but especially awful for our team next year. Love Kylan and would be glad to have him back, but we would lose our consensus preseason top 5 status quickly with what other teams could bring back.

If it’s fifth year, I wonder if that’s why MSU and Purdue didn’t do a lot of additions via the portal, so as to maintain roster spots assuming the eligibility rule change.

It would be pandemonium, and it would also make every other top team better.

Would be great to bring Boswell and Humrichous back though.

And it *could* be a good thing for college basketball, if, *IF* it is packaged with the transfer restrictions that have been proposed alongside it. If it's just more candy for breakfast in terms of player freedom then it will make the situation worse.

you're right, they're usually so proper and buttoned up

Well, we have covered cottage cheese. I think it is time to marvel over bacon. I have tried several brands and my current favorite is (believe it or not) Kirkland. And you?

Nueskies, best bacon ever

 

[NarrowJ]

It clearly means 5 chunks of pineapple in his morning cottage cheese

Settle down everyone

Humrichous would still be out of eligibility though

Dra got a real nice bag in the deal - happy as hell for the kid. He gave it his all while here and I'll never forget that.
