I’m probably in the minority here but I’ve been liking the portal era. I already watched a lot of college games before it but I’ve enjoyed following along other teams that have had Illini connections. There’s no bad blood from guys leaving and it’s been fun rooting for teams like Memphis.

What about a player that quits before mid-season? The one that goes to a despised rival?
There are exceptions to everything (y)

There are exceptions for sure. I hated Jayden Epp’s body language here so Georgetown losing makes my day a little better each time. But if a player leaves and was known for being a good teammate while here, then I’ll root for them if they decide to make a career decision and find a better fit.

Hmmm, mark few called a timeouts when uconn went on a 10 point run. Better than to wait until it was 24

I am obviously no UConn or Dan Hurley fan, but the UConn-Gonzaga game had major big game vibes. Saturday night at MSG in front of a wild NYC crowd.

Fears/Boswell/KJ would have been a load of a 3 guard lineup.

Fears is way better than what I was lead to believe when he decommitted. Oklahoma 9-0

LOL. Led to believe by whom? If it was this board, we have a long history of rationalizing our recruting losses, often by minimizing the talent or other qualities of those we lost.

I'm thinking Fears almost certainly means no KJ so it all worked out.

Why? KJ had already committed at the end of May. Fears didn’t decommit until July. Staff should have let Fears reclassify and figure it out once they got here

KJ was coming regardless. It was either convincing Fears to still come a year later (which didn’t happen), or let reclassify and figure out the playing time. Maybe it was Fears choice tho once KJ was going to be the PG he didn’t want to share minutes. Would have been nice if the staff has been able to get him to and allows him the chance to reclassify
