Old tweet, but helps me get excited about the Belo-Melendez potential:
He's going to be a player....better than his rank imoOld tweet, but helps me get excited about the Belo-Melendez potential:
I like players with a little chip on their shoulder.Old tweet, but helps me get excited about the Belo-Melendez potential:
That's flippin' great. Papi needs a wall in PR.Turns out Kofi has a few fans in Jamaica:
Not me...but I'm not an NBA GM...Anyone think Kofi would benefit from getting a little leaner?
Might help his longevity (knees) but I think his ability to use his bulk is a big part of his effectiveness.Anyone think Kofi would benefit from getting a little leaner?
Illinois is getting really athletic from what I can see in the videos from Melendez and Storr.Old tweet, but helps me get excited about the Belo-Melendez potential:
Yes... he hasI think preseason rankings are pretty worthless, and one this far out is beyond worthless. We have no idea what the team will look like. Heck, has Ayo even officially declared for draft?
When you say that, I don't see a lot of fat on that man. Are you saying that he should lose the muscle?Anyone think Kofi would benefit from getting a little leaner?
Krutwig seemed like the bigger man to me.Anyone think Kofi would benefit from getting a little leaner?
Maybe. I’m not asserting that he should. Just thinking that if he loses 20 or 30 lbs he’ll still have a size advantage but may gain some quickness and agility.
I understand they can sign with agent,....and if they dont get an NBA draft #...they can come back to school as long as they cancel their agent contract.This is kind of an in-the-weeds question, but I am wondering about how the decision-making process works for Trent and Damonte. I assume they're both gone, but they have to compare another year of free school versus the value of whatever pro contracts are available.
If they hire agents, they're gone by NCAA rules, no? Or am I wrong? How would they go about evaluating whether they could get a deal in China, Spain, Israel, etc. without an agent? I am interested in how this might work but not seeing anyone write about it.

Huh. OK, thanks. Used to be that "has signed with an agent" were the magic words meaning he's not coming back to college. I see that is not the case anymore, which is a good thing for the players.Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (Week of April 5th, 2021)
Thought second transfer was automatic sit yearwww.illinoisloyalty.com
Some pretty serious positive reframing skills there!https://www.espn.com/mens-college-b...ly-top-25-college-basketball-rankings-2021-22
Apparently we aren't even a top 30 team next year... this is where we should be.. hunting all year.. not being the hunted.
Probably looking for an all new starting lineup.With all the roster turnover, just wanted to lay it all out together:
Ayo leaving and entering the NBA draft for sure.
Giorgi leaving to play professionally in Europe for sure.
Adam Miller in the transfer portal and probably not coming back.
Trent and Damonte probably not using their extra covid year to come back.
Kofi leaving for the draft honestly feels like a toss-up to me personally.
Bottom line: That’s a ton of minutes and production to replace. I’m not doom and gloom but we need to hit the transfer market hard.
Thx - would Damonte be interested in returning to play a bigger role offensively that he has in the past? I always got the sense that he could dial it up if we needed it.With all the roster turnover, just wanted to lay it all out together:

No hope Jacob Grandison?Probably looking for an all new starting lineup.
