Might be a silly thought, but now that we have coach O back, would we consider taking RJ back if we could get him at a discount? Still love his potential.

You got a few more weeks in yaToday:
I LOVE going to auctions!!! Especially in the Midwest. They are such a blast! It's a really cool community type atmosphere, with the hot dog stands, kids running everywhere, and all the cool stuff to sift through.....

I wonder if there is mutual interest there, as well. I haven't heard any rumblings on potential suitors.

Humrichous offensive skill set and size kinda reminds me of Mike Daum. We all remember how Daum good he was.
Gonna be hard to top the low of Coleman though, unless he actually picks another school I guess......You got a few more weeks in ya
Indy Illini Fan illini0440 I am too lazy to try and catch up on the last 20+ pages but have you heard any rumblings if the staff is going after Nelly Davis?
Okay liar then who’s that on right?
Can we make this like Tinder?…and just swipe left or right?

LIVE POD: Illini land Evansville transfer Ben Humrichous
Illini Inquirer basketball analyst Mike LaTulip joins Jeremy Werner to discuss Illinois basketball landing Ben Humrichous, what he brings and how he fits the...

Is Humrichous coming in to start? 14 ppg at Evansville doesn’t excite me…
Of course no one submits a highlight tape of missed shots, but from what I see on the Humrichous tape, Ben may have the best fundamental stroke I have seen from an Illini player beyond the arc. What is so impressive about it is that none of his shots, all of which go in, are almost perfectly on line with the center of the net. If he can improve his verticality (he seems to not go consistently vertical, which sometimes is not possible) and therefore his accuracy on distance, he could approach 50% from beyond the arc. Glad he will be playing for the Illini.
Guys who can shoot like he does from 25 ft.+ get my respect and support. Guys who are 6'9" and can shoot like that quickly become my favorite. BH looks to me to be a better shooter than Mayer without the locker room problems.

Being super young at the time I couldn't for the life of me figure out why R.E.M. was name dropping an Illini hoopster.
I reverse engineered, zoomed in on the eyes, photoshopped out the phone you were holding and NOW I know who you are.
Not who I thought afterall
Let's play 3!

Overreaction, lol… And what I’d really say is I wish we had a dose of A&M crazy. Not the whole thing.

No thank you. He underwhelmed at Georgia where he had the starting spot locked early in the season and gave it up. He is what he is at this point...role player off the bench who can hit some 3's.
He got some of that Tyson chicken money. No major surprise here. He went to the school who gave him the most money

Andy was a gunner. Don’t see that with Ben. Closer to an Altenberger play style just more height. Honestly, I can’t compare him to anyone that we’ve had here closely.

Exactly. He’s got the isolation game but seems to make decisions a little quicker. Being taller probably helps that.
Also, love his quick(er) release and pace of play.
We’ve essentially replaced set shooters with jump shooters.
