"I can't tell you. Secret."
I tend to agree, but it’s much less likely.
I’m mostly referring to how teams usually roll through the tourney with an amazing guard(s) performance.
I barely recognize this board. Where's the anxiety? Where's the breathless panic? C'mon, ya'll this isn't who we are!
This is the Illinois Loyalty alter ego
You can find what you're looking for in the football threads... 
1) We're good
2)With the portal and draft, we don't know what we'd be recruiting for outside of bigs.
3)With high level preps, the portal and figuring out needs.... Everything really starts in April.
Why worry about it now?
Just click over to the Football board to get your fix
Meh. There was all sorts of wild-eyed optimism on the football board in the preseason. It's what we do in preseasons.This is the Illinois Loyalty alter ego
That one skipped right over anxiety to apathy
Illini in Italy
- Illini HQ, Florida Panhandle
Vaaks will more than likely be the guard with incredible performance but I see QC being a lottery pick as well. I think Illinois could have 3 first round picks this year.

Excuse me, the kid has an agent at 15?
In this days of NIL….
His agent is playing the long game. Gets 20% of his allowance currently.
Here’s my anxiety..
Parking lot, entry points, and traffic congestion for all home games.
Season ticket holders.. we know how to park, not to bring in random items, and traffic patterns.
Others- Might be their first day on planet Earth each game.
This class is starting to wrap up quick. 7 kids left between 10-55.
The top 10 kids all still haven't signed, jockey for NIL. Makes you wonder if they're even worth bothering with.
Cal still hasn't landed a kid, which is really weird.
Recruit sighting at Cinci exhibition? Haven’t seen this mentioned. I was at the Cinci exhibition and walked by the concessions at half time. There was a long line at Skyline Chili and I noticed out of the corner of my eye a huge shadow. When I looked, it was obviously Dylan Betts looking at my Illini hat. His Afro looked be nearly touching the low ceiling. Next to him was obviously Lusakueno. I pulled up the pic of the 2 standing with Morillo and showed my son-in-law. Yup he said! Wondering if anyone else noticed them as they were hard to miss? Could not see them near the bench.
This is big!
9 years ago today, some kid named Ayo believed in Brad (and Chin) enough to commit to the beloved. Thank God he did. I think I was geeking out at the thought of a backcourt with Mark Smith and Ayo. My how things have changed since then.
Like literally huge! Shocking how big Betts is!
