    Illini Baseball 2024

    I know that the basketball tourney dropped the concept of last ten games. Basically how you finish is no more important than how you start. Hopefully baseball allows for that in which case we'd be a lock.

    Well you lead your analysis of her statement with "she clearly thought " . We have no idea what she thought. Shannon said it's a complete fabrication. Why do you think she's telling the truth?

    I agree 20% seems like about the chances of getting him. Which of course means that a reasonable person would be looking at other options. The OP was suggesting wondering if looking at other options meant the staff wasn't optimistic. I really have no clue what optimistic even means to myself...

    Seems to be right now. Last year we inked three final year players. If you swapped out Guerrier from last year's team for a Booth like player I'm not sure the results would be different but our current year prospects would be better.

    I'm sure they've all indicated multiple seasons. But the NIL portal environment means you get no guarantees. The bitter irony is that the better we develop our talent the more difficult it might be to keep them.

    well, I'm here for both. I like to hear fan's perspective on lineups, etc. I also here for information. Who's considering what schools. Who's entering portal. I don't consider gossip to be information. To quote you, I "really couldn't give a s@#$ " about the rumor mill.

    Maybe this was the problem with his 3 point shooting the first 3 years. But once he found out he was shorter he adjusted his shot accordingly and his percentage went up . F'ng science man.

    NBA, yes. If he goes to anyone on my list of hated schools or coaches, I hope he fails quite frankly. Satan, UNC Iowa Indiana Michigan

    well, a couple weeks ago the suggestion was that he'd be looking to get his game outside the paint more. The lack of a true 5 on our team forced him to play the post more than he wanted.

    so I went and checked. On April 30 one of our insiders was talking about getting the right 5 signed up might entice Hawkins back. I know 12 days ago feels like an eternity, but don't make it sound like the notion is totally out of left field. It's a mere month ago that Where do we stand with...

    Got lucky here. I thought it would be fun to see a poster who's ignored by multiple people be first. Is this going to mess up people's counts?
