It was more than a few weeks ago. I am fairly certain it was the Ubben stuff that was - Gus Johnson March 25, 2021, 14:02:38 wait, what sport are we talking about?* - torinese March 25, 2021, 13:56:05 Ugh* - OWWDig March 25, 2021, 13:55:04 Xavier Pinson to UK? - Jersey March 25, 2021, 13:21:43 Really?

Looked very slow-footed. - osklister March 24, 2021, 10:47:23 Garza is comically slow. Not sure on Wieskamp. * - illini March 24, 2021, 12:19:14 He's a better pro prospect* - MtHoodIllini March 23, 2021, 19:48:23 I'm not sure what his fit is in the NBA. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 18:01:29 nah, he can shoot and good release - apusikam March 23, 2021, 18:57:51 also, nba floor spacing* - apusikam March 23, 2021, 18:59:18 My comp for him is Duncan Robinson.

Time to look for great athletes who can shoot. I'd be thrilled with Mitchell and Burnett ... - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 12:53:08 Is he available?* - Blazer March 23, 2021, 12:38:47 Aaron Wheeler from Purdue enters the portal * - jdl March 23, 2021, 11:50:10 what about TJ Wheeler?* - VIV March 23, 2021, 14:16:12 still pining for Bruce& - Gene Parmesan March 23, 2021, 15:08:51 That freakin' guy.... - osklister March 23, 2021, 15:01:15 The Athletic has a recruit/transfer tracker - jdl March 23, 2021, 11:44:39 Apparently Bruce Pearl has entered the chat on Burnett* - Ron McDon March 23, 2021, 14:09:10 I don't subscribe to The Athletic, but from gleaning info from other boards, - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 11:52:57 Prediction. Pods is the only one we land. - CWR10 March 23, 2021, 11:59:21 I think I agree with this. We've seen it before (and before that ... and before that ...). - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 12:02:45 To be fair, you never have any confidence that we'll get any recruit. - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 13:37:20 So what's your confidence level on TyTy then? Or even Burnett? - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 13:43:19 I still think we've got a good chance to get one or the other. Not both. - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 13:46:05 So let's say Burnett chooses Alabama before TyTy has decided. You confident IL gets him then? - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 13:52:52 I've PROBABLY been through more Illini disappointment than you have (I assume I'm older). - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 14:07:55 And sometimes we haven’t “seen it” - like when this staff built a 1 seed from scratch - Walkon March 23, 2021, 12:52:24 I give credit to the staff on getting the 1 seed. Seems pretty clear the B1G was overrated, though. - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 12:55:10 Staff was very effective with the modern baseball approach - DT March 23, 2021, 13:05:26 I think Hutcherson's a huge wild-card for next year. If he's healthy, he could be an important piece - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 13:12:55 Yeah—he’s also an example of the staff changing approach or that the early outcomes were a fluke - DT March 23, 2021, 14:22:54 Eh? They changed the offense specifically to complement this roster - Walkon March 23, 2021, 12:59:53 That's part of my point. They changed the offense to fit the roster. - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 13:10:13 I think when you're rebuilding a program you go for talent over fit - jdl March 23, 2021, 13:18:55 Minor nit: the 3 point attempts were a function of having a monster inside who was taking high - voiceofreason March 23, 2021, 13:14:55 Yeah we were a 2 point team - jdl March 23, 2021, 13:20:03 I would love at least 1 of Tyty, Nimari, Cardet, Podz. Duh, yea, I know.* - OWWDig March 23, 2021, 11:56:07 Great list* - CWR10 March 23, 2021, 11:46:38 They are going to be very busy * - jdl March 23, 2021, 11:50:36 Walker Kessler leaving UNC. Would be worth looking into especially if Kofi goes pro* - illinilosch March 23, 2021, 10:49:53 Gonzaga bound* - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 10:54:40 Already rumors of him being Gonzaga bound* - OB25 March 23, 2021, 10:50:24 Yuck. So I guess Gonzaga is now the basketball mecca of the world? - illinilosch March 23, 2021, 10:53:55 Who wouldn’t want to go there? You basically get a bye to a top-4 seed in the tournament every year* - meanjeans March 23, 2021, 11:30:26 if you're a very tall white man, yes - Sammich March 23, 2021, 10:54:32 and you were foreign born or grew up in rural Pacific Northwest* - Sounder March 23, 2021, 11:26:28 They’re also the presumed favorite for tall white guy #1 overall recruit in the country.* - OB25 March 23, 2021, 10:58:42 Yep, Chet Holmgren is pretty much a lock to go to the Zags. - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 11:41:30 One thing that seems clear: Rebuilds with this new transfer rule will have a ton of turnover. - Carl Spackler March 23, 2021, 10:43:34 So, barring any highly ranked recruits, seems like we need... - DT March 23, 2021, 10:50:31 I think it very much depends on who is coming back - Quiz March 23, 2021, 14:19:40 Hawkins seems like a classic sophomore leap guy to me - GMAW March 23, 2021, 10:56:28 Yep, I'm pretty high on Hawkins* - MtHoodIllini March 23, 2021, 19:51:12 same* - gvibes March 24, 2021, 10:59:29 I think Miller is going to really surprise next year and be much more aggressive. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 11:06:26 I hope so, but his handles and finishing look pretty not great (right now) to me* - gvibes March 23, 2021, 13:05:10 Funny, I think both are very high end. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 13:38:09 Nevermind. I just realized you meant Miller. I was thinking Curbelo* - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 13:46:18 Yup. Curbelo is a star in the making* - gvibes March 23, 2021, 14:06:09 I am similarly pessimistic about Miller's jump to an increased ball handling role - GMAW March 23, 2021, 14:04:15 I think he’s good enough to drive to the rim - DT March 23, 2021, 14:17:03 I disagree that freshman year Ayo was a worse shooter than Curbelo - GMAW March 23, 2021, 14:23:04 Ayo was better from 3, but basically had no midrange game - DT March 23, 2021, 14:28:01 I don’t need him to facilitate. Just attack. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 14:16:26 +1* - DT March 23, 2021, 14:17:38 I agree. Miller was the fourth maybe fifth option. Now he might be the first option. I think - MC March 23, 2021, 11:21:50 Ace & Belo need to be tied at the hip this offseason. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 11:27:38 I have a hot take about Miller that I’ve been stewing over - OB25 March 23, 2021, 11:19:26 I've got an even hotter take. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 11:26:31 I love Andre, but I think it will be a more challenging for him next year - DT March 23, 2021, 11:45:10 At the same time, though, Kofi was always in the lane so there was always at least one - jayd March 23, 2021, 11:53:28 While I agree, this theory would be helped A LOT with a Kofi return* - OWWDig March 23, 2021, 11:32:12 I would be shocked if that happened. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 11:44:34 I hope Hawkins is never our 5. We need him to get to the point where he’s our 4. We need a big guy - voiceofreason March 23, 2021, 11:56:03 The fact this New Mexico big is being discussed on various message boards makes it *seem* like Kofi - Kajagoogoo March 23, 2021, 11:48:15 I assume he's a topic of discussion because of his DR roots. - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 13:35:24 I do not envy the job of coaches trying to recruit and build rosters in the new transfer world - DT March 23, 2021, 10:39:39 They get paid millions of dollars to figure it out.* - GrandmotherPearlsJam March 23, 2021, 11:38:10 I think the truest chaos will be a 1-2 year phenomenon. - uofi1998 March 23, 2021, 10:56:30 I think boom-bust is the new normal - illiniranger March 23, 2021, 10:51:46 KRS-One thinks boom-bap is the new normal* - Sammich March 23, 2021, 10:52:42 why are you like this? * - illiniranger March 23, 2021, 10:59:43 the energy I've spent trying to figure that out could power Reno for a week* - Sammich March 23, 2021, 11:00:53 Only if Antigua leaves* - OWWDig March 23, 2021, 10:41:16 Add coaching talk to this thread? What’s the latest on Indiana* - MC March 23, 2021, 10:35:41 What am I missing on Musselman? - illini21 March 23, 2021, 10:47:14 He is a worse case scenario. That dude can coach and recruit. Do not want him in the B1G* - JacobRDaugherty March 23, 2021, 10:51:11 I think it was mentioned here yesterday, but rumor is Matta was interested but failed physical.* - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 10:37:25 seems like that was refuted fairly quickly - Dilbert March 23, 2021, 11:09:06 Need more Mike Woodson smoke * - MC March 23, 2021, 10:45:20 they give coaches a physical?* - Mrap24 March 23, 2021, 10:42:22 Rick Majerus is rolling in his giant grave* - Sammich March 23, 2021, 10:44:49 But not in his big gay grave.* - voiceofreason March 23, 2021, 11:28:24 They buried him under a hotel IIRC. - osklister March 23, 2021, 10:59:16 Might be unusual, but makes sense for Matta since he retired before for health reasons.* - DT March 23, 2021, 10:44:48 Oh yeah, that amount of money: insurance company would want a physical or an opt out. - osklister March 23, 2021, 11:00:18 Those in the portal (so far) with rumored Illinois interest: - Walkon March 23, 2021, 10:35:33 Based on the numbers Mitchell looks quite appealing. Don't know much about Burnett* - bjl63 March 23, 2021, 10:43:44 Burger Boy originally from Illinois, HS teammate of Coleman Hawkins* - JacobRDaugherty March 23, 2021, 10:52:01 That's a spicy meatball. - Illiniphil March 23, 2021, 10:33:31 He's not your man. He's not my man. He's Aarman. - Sammich March 23, 2021, 10:30:13 I just got a vintage pair of Aar Franklin’s* - DT March 23, 2021, 10:32:55 *hits alarm button* - timmer March 31, 2021, 23:01:39 think you had a bad day? plant workers spoil 15 million j&j vaccines - biclops March 31, 2021, 18:06:01 J and j isn't astrazeneca bad. Still disappointing so far.* - Threeball March 31, 2021, 21:36:14 in any other business, this is the new formula. In medicine...you done goofed* - DanSaint March 31, 2021, 18:17:32 on this opening day eve, enjoy the following thread of hilarious baseball tweets - Sammich March 31, 2021, 19:32:40 there's a lot of good in there - snipes824 March 31, 2021, 19:54:57 That was quite enjoyable.* - OB25 March 31, 2021, 19:51:34 I said "Alexa, play classic rock."
