So if he waits until Montverde plays again as some have speculated when do we think that would be? Or is this one where there will be a random Instagram post that announces it and we all just have to keep refreshing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Because you have been gone so long you must definitively tell us who will be in the ‘24 class and when they will commit to make up for the lack of posts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just chiming in that independent of this thread I had a conversation with an Illini buddy this weekend and I concluded that Loyer is just not that good. I also would have expected better numbers. I actually wonder if his numbers will get worse next year when the book is out that you can just pressure the hell out of their backcourt because they are frail boys. Had to get that jab in because there is way too much Purdue sympathizing going on for my taste. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I keep thinking “man we are not having a great projected season” and we are still 9-5 in conference. It really puts into perspective how awful we were in conference for that several year stretch we couldn’t break .500 for the season. Please never let us fall back to .500 being the norm!

The Warriors space the floor better than anyone and have played through Draymond in the high post/PnR quite a bit over the years and allow the big to make passes/reads which Trayce was great at last year. They also have shown willingness to play a 5 who is not a jump shooting threat and Trayce provides excellent rebounding/weak side defensive help which is exactly how they used Looney (who really has no offensive game compared to Trayce). They run and shoot the three at a high clip from the other 4 spots on the floor which makes having an athlete who can rim run at the 5 very important. Also they are in “win now” mode so they aren’t stashing guys/slowly developing them, if he can contribute he will play. More importantly they have a great winning culture (minus last years fight) and gave him a three year NBA contract, not a 2 way. So he is at least giving himself the best chance at some staying power in the league. If he had been drafted elsewhere after like pick 40 he would’ve probably started in the dreaded G League.

So we want Kansas for Dickinson here right? Because that would take a huge chunk of NIL money away and bring in another guy who will be putting up a ton of shots? Also so we don’t have to play him lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this is expected and nothing to worry about until we hear about a new school or an unexpected visit. It’s been said that his family did not want things leaked and based on the way others called out Zagoria for leaking it seems like they had heard those four school behind closed doors as well. I bet we hear about visits to those four over the next week or so and then he sets a decision day. He will command each schools absolute best offer so it makes sense that he would visit all four to hear those offers rather than a good portal player who may hear enough at one and stop the process.

What a wild take this is lol. Imagine thinking the guy who teaches US History during school hours or is an insurance agent for his day job is running more sophisticated sets with 15-18 year olds vs incredibly well respected basketball minds at the absolute top of their field working with the top 1% of basketball players. This takes the cake. No offense intended to HS basketball coaches with this post, they have to make a living somehow

FWIW he will be up and walking a few hours after surgery and discharged within a day or two if it’s a routine TKR. Most have significant improvement in mobility and quality of life after as well. Wouldn’t expect a significant disruption to zoom calls or travel, if anything he will be able to golf even MORE and maybe still fit in some in-home trips too [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Respectfully, no. Jalen is going to be a top 15 pick in the draft and his stock is still on a steep upward trajectory and could sneak closer to 10. This is also the best option for our program. Woody will be sitting in the green room on draft night sending old man selfies to all the Montverde kids saying “son, this could be you if you come join my ballclub” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was undergrad at UK for the 4 years following their championship. Went to 1-2 games there, surely they wouldn’t dream of rushing the court. But they damn sure rushed State Street and it was an absolute blast to burn sh*t and high five everyone that walked by. What’s the difference when you’re 18-22 years old and your favorite team just won a huge game? I would’ve killed to be a part of one as a student at IU. Rush the f**king court. Go IU!

Watching Purdue/Michigan…Edey is just huge and that alone counts for so much of his stats. I know that he is having a great year and earning it by not fouling, having a gas tank, etc, but if he was three inches shorter Trayce would be a runaway B10 POY. It’s just crazy to me comparing their games skill wise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
