Illini Basketball 2024-2025

I agree with the Booth comment. That is the most open spot, which could be one of the centers, Humrichouse (sp?), or Trey, which is my outsider guess.

Boswell surprises me. Who do you see as the main competition for the point guard spot, or are you suggesting we go without one again?

Besides giving Kasparas an A grade so far (my grade without seeing anything other than what Illinois has put out)

And Boswell a C (my grade). Others who have looked good, bad or as expected?

I wouldn’t say this year is the “best team” in Illinois history (I solute you, flying Illini), but it does have the potential to have the best outcome.

Every elite team (which I consider us now) has to deal with the same transfer portal and its unknown team dynamic/chemistry each season. We are loaded with elite players, coaches, conditioning. BU has been far ahead of most coaches managing the portal/team dynamics. If this team gels anywhere near last year, we could be in for a really thrilling season.

I believe you intended a salute to the Flying Illini . . .

But I agree, we are due for a thrilling season.

Why couldn’t they both start at the 1/2? The both have the shooting ability to be combo and KJ has the size to be a two.
