Let’s also remember if not for the Covid year this isn’t even an issue. Coleman gave 4 years of his blood, sweat and tears to this team and I’m grateful to him for it. I’m jealous of whoever gets him as I’ve grown attached like many here have but we have built a great team imo that prepared...

Minutes will be so dependent on how well certain guys play together too. I recall last season Dain was struggling to see the floor but during that period where he got hot he really gelled with Coleman and we saw more of them playing together upping his minutes. Also early there was great...

Who is likely to take on the leadership role on this team? I’m assuming Ty. Is there a belief that Hum can take on that role? The 2022 team had a lot of issues but the apparent lack of leadership on the court was pretty concerning throughout that year.

Their whole thing is fans of college ball injecting their personality to takes we’ve seen here countless times. I think they do a great job with their content and it’s clear they are passionate for the sport and B1G as a whole. They have a good dynamic no matter how crazy the take. They owned...

honestly the thing I will miss most from last years team is TSJ defense when he is at the top of his game. I will be watching closely to see what steps Ty takes on that end as I kind of expected more from him. I believe Boswell is great on that end but that is just what I’ve heard. I think...

excited to see how this group gels, does this mean we are sitting on two scholarships or is there still a search for another depth piece?

Anyone have Torvik preseason rankings since the start of the portal Wild West and how spot on they were? Not much data yet. I think projecting a preseason rank for teams that are nearly entirely new in the portal age is a fools errand personally.

If Coleman got himself a national championship anywhere but Illinois I would be so depressed. Maybe eventually happy for him but bitter for longer than I’d like to admit.

There are plenty of guys that put their name in the draft and also the portal. There won’t be much movement on those guys until they get the draft feedback so portal is far from being over even with the May 1 deadline coming up. I bet next week sees more people hit the portal than any one day...

Does baby Goode have a black eye?

Are we eventually going to try to roll out a team of at least 3 Coleman adjacent players? That would be a formidable group. Talk about a guy reshaping a program!

For everything Goode gave to the program I sure hope our fans can continue to be respectful regardless where he goes. No doubt he has been an Illini and EDG through and through. Yea I’d hate to see him in stupid candy stripes but there is plenty to hate on at IU without dragging Goode through...

I totally misread this as an insider fact and had a panic attack lol

The polished turf good ole days

Sure but also if he is highly competitive we just kept him from a championship. Hard to read into a kids emotions directly following a heart breaking loss.
