Not that it has not been done before....but for U of I this is by far the best roster rebuild ever. Not even a close second IMHO.
Now the challenge starts in molding them into an elite team...and it won't come without its ups and downs. All depends on if they want team or individual success...am I right Skyy...Adam? That team idea worked pretty well for UConn, Villanova, and others.
Pretty sure if you make Illini Nation fall in love with you, things will work out pretty well. Am I right Terrance? Ayo? Kofi? Giorgi?

I wonder what people would have said if they were told three months ago Morez would be the third or fourth best freshmen on the team next season

Dustin Ford walked so Big O could run.Did someone say Canadian pipeline ...
He won't be until he retires ...
He wants a natty and he wants a statue ... Legacy matters ...
He ain't gonna find a better AD, better facilities, and better fan support/financial support than what he's got here ...

What is Riley going to be ranked in 2024?
75. Illini tax.
They wanted Cal gone ... And for the right coach ... Would've made sense ...
Pope ain't that guy ...
He loses Jasper after having a meh year (and their roster ain't good enough for much better than that) ... It'll be the beginning of the end for him ...
The Illinois brand is so strong right now

I feel bad for pope. It’s his dream job. He played there. But, he’s not the dude.
Sleepers logic:
Illinois needs a star wing so bad and Tre white and humrichous have huge questions.
Also sleepers:
Is Illinois gonna crash and burn with a 5 star taking up all of white and humrichous time and their floor is lower now with him.
Weird that they wanted Cal gone for not getting out of the first round to hire....a guy who hasn't gotten out of the first round
