Last time I saw someone attack the rim like this his name was Kenny Battle. Yes please a thousand times YES!!
What's your beef with Dominique Keller? He did fine.Last 2 JUCO's were Rodney Alexander and Dominique Keller. How did they work out?? Got to probably go back to 2001 to find one that worked out--Marcus Griffin.
Just curious as to why you believe Jordan could be a beast next year? In my opinion he is what he is. He's a decent shooter with a low release point which needs lots of space to get his shot off against top competition. He's just an average athlete, not even that quick, no real hops to speak of. Simply put hes a MAC or MVC level player. What keeps him on the floor is his hustle the guys works harder than probably anyone else on the team besides Black. Just don't see any reason or indication that he could be any better than he already is. I think Finke and maybe Lucas transfer out to give us a 4 man class. With that said Im gonna say that class will consist Dosunmu, Ramey or Jacobs, Trice, and Cunningham. I just have a gut feeling that Cunningham is coming, last time I felt that way we got Mike Thorne as a transfer. If those pieces fall in place we are a tournament team in my opinion.
We finally have our Branger? I'll see myself out now.Jordan Brangers. :thumb:

Well you can start with poor attitude with a capital A.
Do you understand that recruits from years past with different coaches, and teams has nothing to do with future recruits? No impact, no bearing, no relevance. I get the feeling some of the posters have no understanding of simple logic.
Was wondering what everyone's dream class vs. expected class looks like as of now?
Dream Class- Ayo, Ramey, Tevian Jones, Blake Hinson, Cunningham
Expected- Ayo, Demarcus Jacobs, Trice, Tevian Jones, Big 5th Year guy to eat up minutes

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Not saying Trice et al. wouldn't be good additions, especially given the void, but ignoring past JUCO players' performances just because we have a new coach is a poor idea. I'm sure the list of JUCO players who didnt pan out in P6 conference schools is much longer than those who did.
Brangers would be an amazing get. There does seem to be some mutual interest between Marlon Taylor and Illinois as well.

It's extremely unlikely that we take 5 guys.
Over/under 4.5. I'll take the over. Pretty confident it will be 5 or 6.

Refresh our memory a lil what did he do that was so bad to make you think he had a bad attitude? I personally don't recall any issues with him I always thought he was a solid player.

Would rather have Trice or Taylor than another Thorne honestly.
