Is that really surprising? Domask plays like a 40 year old at the Y who has to ice down his knees after a game. And I mean that in the best way possible. He was also a 5th year senior and a coaches kid. Also, I love Coleman for last year but the previous years were up and down. There was also...

Y'all are sleeping on Ty's junior year 1st team all Big10 season preceding his senior year all American campaign. On a serious note I don't think I've ever seen an extremely productive player on an elite 8 team get more hate than Ty has been getting this off-season. Him playing is not about...

Maybe a bit but I think donors will take care of it as long as Brad keeps winning.

I actually don't think it negatively impacts his NBA prospects. He is role player type that can stuff a stat sheet a bunch of different ways without needing the ball in his hands a lot. NBA teams already have stars that can dominate the ball. They need roleplayers like Coleman that can shoot...

I think Coleman is probably smart enough to realize this but he's best off if he's going to a situation where he can be a role player and be the 3rd or 4th option offensively. If he simply picks the biggest payout possible and it's not the right situation then it could get ugly with a fanbase...

Report I saw said Wells is staying in.

I think Booth has an extremely high defensive ceiling like potentially a better version of Coleman on defense. Very fluid athlete, with extremely long arms, and a better jumper than Coleman allowing Booth to protect the rim far better. Tre White has very good size, strength, and athleticism on...

Getting way to far ahead of yourself trying to divy up minutes this far in advance. Tons of stuff can happen like injuries or certain guys just being inefficitive and losing minutes. This can ebb and flow throughout the entire season. All that being said, I wouldn't necessarily be surprised to...

Saying White can do everything Ty can is a bit absurd. Tre may be very good but Ty does so many things extremely well. Like he legitimately might be the best rebounder and defender on the team this year.

I don't really see an issue. You have two legitimate points guards in Boswell and KJ plus a combo guard in DGL. Then you have Ty and Tre who are both capable of handling the ball and athletic enough to guard. Honestly, even Hum could likely function as a guard offensively.

JK may very well end up being a better player than Domask but it's a lot to ask for an 18 year old kid to be better than a 5th year senior that scored over 2k points in his career.

I legitimately think this is the deepest Illini team in history. Going to be some question marks but the top 10 is about as deep as you can be. Might not be a single player that averages over 30 mins. I expect the top 9 to get pretty regular playing time with Ivisic and Morez basically...

Coleman ain't returning, don't even think he will come back to college tbh . I still think the only way he wouldve returned to Illinois would've been with the Domask waiver would've been approved and he could run it back with Domask, Ty, and some splash additions. No sense worrying about it now.

I wasn't even mentioning faculty which isn't included in those numbers. Simply administrative staff. Illinois has roughly 2500 faculty members vs 8000 administrative staff.
