If he improves on all of these, he’s an All-B1G First Team-level player with a real case for Player of the Year:

• Improve scoring consistency
• Consistently impact the game when the shot isn’t falling
• Three-point percentage needs to come up
• Tighten the handle to create cleaner looks and avoid forcing drives
• Tendency to drive into traffic without a clear plan
• When the defense collapses, make the simple read and kick to the open man
• Become Illinois’s #1 POA defender

If yall think Andrej is leaving (who isn’t even projected in either round) then I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you.

Love me some George Strait

A beach house, you say? Tell me more.

Edit: beaten

...............They're transfer class might be very, very good, but you can't rip the guts out of a team and expect a top 5 season. Heck, Duke is losing this national player of the year. Boozer carried them in games that they probably should have lost, including round 1 vs Sienna.

We're also a question mark. We're losing an All American, plus, if I'm going to punch Duke in the gut over the NCAA Tournament, we could look at our path to the Final Four was ...

......What they are bringing back and what there's acquiring......it's impressive. I don't see a question mark with them. JMO.

You made me sheepishly check a map to see if there is, in fact, any oceanfront property in Arizona... that would be a "no"

Throw in a meet and greet dinner and drinks with your Dad and the rest of his coaching staff/your co-workers, I might be interested

Not shocked, nor is the staff. Andrej will be back, going to be a valuable three weeks for him going into next season.

Have heard our last add is expected to be a European. As said before, my expectation is sometime over the summer. If 5/5 passes, the door will open for Kylan as well, but we will see.

I'm just happy another impact addition is in the works

Stojakovic already signed a contract to return to Illinois.

I expect him back. That said, he’s going to take this process seriously. He wants to play pro ball, as I’ve posted here multiple times.

His projected draft position before declaring isn’t all that relevant, IMO.

 

[LvilleILL1]

To go with @FI_890526.

This is not just a decision for now, it's for next year as well. He wants to play in the NBA, so it will be valuable for him to get this experience before the combine and draft next year.

 

[Altuve27]

It would be stupid for guys not to get draft feedback and find out EXACTLY how they are perceived and what they need to work on.

 

[My2Cents]

I'm just glad we can count on anything the NCAA is involved with, will be smooth sailing!

I think Cole Kelly is also on his AAU team?

Have to lock down Cole Kelly too hopefully. He’s on the same HS and AAU team as Mason Martin. Would be great way to kick off our 2028 class.

Kind of surprising Kansas hasn't been in the discussion of top teams for a couple years now. They win some games and beat some people, and they have some great players, but not like the old days. Getting Stokes for next year would certainly help.
