One game? The entire season was questionable. HIs season stats are 43% FG, 32% 3pt, 32/57 assist/turnover ratio.

Divided fan base. I personally can’t get into thirsting for a player on another team, especially a team I traditionally can’t stand.

Why is there all this speculation on Storr? Do we even know that there will be a chance that he's available? Or even if he is, that he is remotely interested in Illinois? Or is Chin coming back?

I lot of speculation here-- am I missing some news or even tepid rumors?

Madison is rather close to his home...

Why is Storr dissatisfied with his experience in Wisconsin? Does Jahmir Young have a 5th year left and if so, would he look to the transfer portal? He would be a grandslam talent wise.

Storr was second team all big ten as a sophomore on a team that was broken halfway through the year. If you trust what Brad and staff can develop him into - which I do - you should love a talent like that on next years team. We need scoring and if he develops within the system I can see a TSJ type season his senior year and a 3x All Big Ten player, why wouldn’t we want that?

We need a veteran PG and veteran Big to add with him and we’re right back in contention next year

Was that him or the fact he felt pressure to bail out a sinking offense?

I often heard Wisky fans complain about his terrible shot selection. There's too many pieces on that team for him to just run up and chuck shots the way he does.

To be honest, I'm looking at both Boswell and Storr with some suspicion lately.

More than half of Boswell's shots are from 3. He only shoots 40% inside the arc and only took 37 FT all year. In other words, he's not a guy that draws contact or has much success getting to the cup. He would be a PG where we don't have a PG, and that's something I guess, but a point guard is someone you rely on to get a bucket when a bucket is needed. And he's just really inconsistent in general. Yeah he ran up 20 points against Long Beach, but just completely disappears during the Pac-12 tournament and had several similar games like today's Dayton contest.

Storr led Wisconsin in points/game scored, started every game and averaged nearly 29 minutes per game. At least superficially, he seems to have been in an excellent position to help prevent his team becoming 'broken' as you say. I am wary of attitude.

Terrence has a truly GREAT attitude, and Marcus, Quincy, Ty, Luke, Dain, Justin and the three freshmen seem really special in this regard as well. Coleman is extremely coachable and takes responsibility for his actions; he is, uh, less positive in the way he interacts with the (blind, knuckle-headed lol) zebras. Preserving this culture is important.

He was a true freshman PG- how many of those come out of the box great - it seems you are judging him like a senior. He would be great in our system and would have three years left

I don’t like Storr as our top transfer, but he’d be a fantastic number two.

You can obviously see the skill and it’s not like he’s a 4th year guy, so plenty of time to make minor improvements which is exactly what he needs.

Leland Walker. Go get him. Just saw he’s in the portal and man is he special. One of the best perimeter defenders I’ve seen in person and at the end of the year was shooting lights out from 3 with elite court vision and unselfishness. Only a sophomore and he should be Brad’s number 1 priority

We run a nba system and have great player development. He also doesn’t get with Gard. If Brad is comfortable taking him that’s all that matters.

and whatever team gets him next year , i’m fairly certain will only have him for a year . seems like most guys like him will go pro as soon as they can .

and i’m not saying he’s a first rounder
