Khalif Battle moves from Arkansas to Gonzaga;  Calipari replaces that spot with Adou Thiero.

Illinois and Underwood add (Ark/UK) twin brother Ivonisic, stretch 7'1'' player.   Highly touted.  Underwood always making money moves, can never count him out.

His brother is the better player I believe (and is 7’3”) but from what I’ve read the younger brother has been working himself into being a stretch 5.

1) Hatton appears to be objectively better.

2) This guy Edmonds will start for Minny.

3) I wish we played Minny twice next year.

3 notable things from Edmonds’ stat line: 1) Committed more fouls per minutes played last year than Reneau playing in the AAC while being in no way a rim protector. 2) Shot 45% from the line. 3) Dished out 10 assists in 33 games.
Yeesh

Okay… maybe he won’t start.

My guess is that Dawson Garcia will be starting alongside either Edmonds or Parker Fox.  As hard of a time as they have have raising NIL there, I would just find the timing strange of signing Edmonds right now if they feel Hatton is coming along as well.

I think their nil is pretty low they even signed a division 3 player.

Despite being a "done deal to IU" according to several posters with "strong connections" on various message boards...Alex Hemenway has committed to Vanderbilt. 

I don't think there is really any need to add a guy just to add a guy so I would probably bank on adding Hatton and then keeping the 13th scholarship open. Of course, if the coaches can find a player that upgrades the roster and is willing to come in for a limited role, great.

The problem with that is MW got roasted for leaving one open last year but this years roster is constructed a heck of a lot better than last year.

We are very deep at guard/wing, but not deep when it comes to bigs. So this season could flip flop to having a bigs depth issue.

I have the same concern.   Hopefully we have sets using smaller lineups in this case.

Moussa Sisse (Ole Miss) commits to Memphis.  #5 ranked remaining center in the portal according to On3.  He will split time at the 5 with Dain Dainja.

$2 million for a transfer with 1 year of eligibility left? Wow, the B1G is dropping the bags!

3 things here: 1) Would like to know how that deal is structured because I find it impossible to believe he’s guaranteed that sort of jack. 2) If you’re throwing a kid an offer that resembles that he better be able to carry you on a tournament run. Osobor’s good but he ain’t that. 3) That Washington would be able to conjure up anything approaching that would certainly explain why Tommy Lloyd was supposedly toying with that job.

So, have we officially "jumped the shark"?  Also think it must be some incentive driven deal but who knows with the cash being thrown around.

Interesting short article about NIL money in the "Big Ten" although only 3 teams are actually mentioned: Link

This is news to me, I thought Purdoo was struggling in NIL? 

Purdue and Illinois are said to have the Big Ten’s largest men’s basketball NIL budgets, about $2.5 million a year. Insiders say the Gophers’ men’s basketball NIL budget is barely one-fourth of that.
