How do we rank the roster in terms of NBA likelihood? My guess…

Riley
Jakuciones
Johnson
Ivisic
Booth
White
Rodgers
Humrichous
Boswell

No chance
DGL
Jakstys
Davis
My first thought was I’d have Boswell higher and then my second thought was who am I putting him above. Maybe Humrichous, the rest are really close and likely to get at least a cup of coffee.

Well, I guess we just do daily minutes breakdowns for the next 3 months. Then when the schedules fully hit, we can do schedule breakdowns for 2 months along with the minute breakdowns. 5 months? Maybe we just all end up with breakdowns, of the mental variety. 🤪
Agreed. Let's get started.

The best part is we have talent that was built to be a team. The strengths look like they mesh and compliment one another, rather than duplicate.

Great that they are all on campus early!

Another element to building all of this recruiting momentum right now-gives us time to further build the brand before the possibly historic in-state 2027 class. Man oh man is this program in an unbelievable spot rn 🔶🔷
Also another reminder that the road to the final four in 25-26 could be STL->CHI->IND. it would be a real nice time to be at the top of CBB and I’m sure nothing at all to do with our scheduling and roster construction for the upcoming season.

I don’t know anything about that year, who is it that you’re talking about? And are we talking top 5 player in the country?

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 🤯
Our Illinois Mr. Basketball and USA gold medalist is the 3rd or 4th best freshman on the team. Oh, How far we have come.

Looking back, I think AJ Storr made the right decision to pass on UI. I think being a guaranteed starter was important to him. Clearly, that would not be assured with next year’s roster. He lacked the championship DNA needed to go earn it. It will be funny when he is back in the portal next year.
The ups and downs of the offseason can give someone a heart attack. From Storr to CF leaving, but damn, what an ending.

Thanks to the insiders for keeping us in the loop.

Move Boswell up 6-7 spots
Move Morez down a few

I'm sitting here laughing at myself (honestly, I'm laughing at many of us). It was not that many weeks ago that I was talking with family about the focus on the transfers and almost not even caring that much about the freshmen. Now look at this freshmen class of Morez, Jakstys, Riley, and KJ (I'm counting him). I wish there was a means of comparing this group to the greatest freshmen class we could think of. Sounds like a job for somebody that likes research and analysis :unsure:. @Fighter of the Nightman ?

I was excited about watching the team be molded BEFORE the latest 2 additions.

Any idea how the ‘24 class ranks as a whole?

They also said Boswell ranks 5th for them out of the five of: Kylan, KJ, Jasper, Fears, DGL...

Don't pay them attention...
