I doubt Rodgers starts over White, unless he can shoot the ball from farther than 6 ft.

I agree that we will likely see shootouts simply because of the pace I expect them to play at, but I think you're underestimating DGL's potential defensive impact.
I'm not really worried about smaller quick guards because I think DGL is quick enough to stay in front of anyone in the country. At the end of last year he was doing an incredible job getting around screens and now he will have another off-season of development and work with Fletch.
Also, I would assume Fletch's plan for Boswell is to cut weight to get leaner and more explosive which could help him immensely on defense.
Classic Trollman move. Why do it to Nevada?

Dan's post doesn't count, so post 421 is post 420, making your post 460 post 459, which would be post 39 post 420.

Tomisiav - 12 ppg. Booth 10 ppg. White- 14 ppg. Kasparas- 15ppg. Kylan 10 ppg. Johnson - 10 ppg. Ty- 6 ppg. DGL - 6 ppg. Davis - 6 ppg. Ben - 13 ppg.
it looks like we will average 102 points per game next year. Even with the most pessimistic Illini family member, can you see anyone standing a chance against us next year?

Illinois is ranked 16th by Bart Torkiv's metrics, not Sleepers opinion.
If you don't find them worthwhile, that's fine. But they aren't doing what they do to be anything but goofy hot take guys. I think they are hilarious. I'll listen to the Illini Inquirer guys for serious takes.
Even the blind squirrel finds the acorn sometimes. These guys are just too young; you need to be around the block a time or two to make a plausible evaluation of a players' talent. I take them with a grain of salt.
not really. I would guess everyone one of us sees Egor as a special player, maybe even NBA ready now. And we won't be wrong.Be honest now, doesn't that really apply to all of us?
Why would you call Humichrous a poor defender? He's an experienced senior. How many games have you watched him play? It would need to be at least five or six to make any judgment about his defense. You would have had to focus on him in those games. How about his foot work? His ability to fight through screens? You would need at least all of those to judge his defense.
I'm guessing White will start as one of our wings. He brings a skillset nobody else does.
It seems to me Booth and Davis have very high ceilings. If Booth is really 6-10, I'm not sure he's done growing. He's real skinny and needs a fletch year to gain strength and muscle mass. If he does, I think we'll see him add an attack the basket game with aggressiveness and confidence. You can add that to his ability to shoot from deep.
I know Ty is a favorite around here but is he really a betrer all round player than White? Ty knows the culture and reps it but as an all round basketball player White and Ty are similar in size but White can do a lot of the same things as Ty plus is better on offense. It going to be a battle for minutes and especailly at the 3 spot.
Can Booth or even Davis develop and challenge at the 3. Booth did play a lot at ND and could do well in that role.

I'd be curious to know their opinion after he went head-to-head with a top five pick and bested him.
He put up a lot of good tape in his most recent tournament
What'd I miss?

Wake Forest has a Lithuanian assistant on their staff and have been working the recruitment for about a year so they thought that it was a done deal…until last minute.
