Enright officially just committed to IU

If nothing else, he knows where to find Tucker DeVries.

Tbf it’s just a random dude on there saying that, no one reputable 

tbf it's the only actual ILL fan on there and he is a solid poster 

tbf I have yet to see a lot of reputable coming from anyone on these two sites

That would be frustrating.  Creighton would make sense with being close to home, etc.  Illinois less so, they would just have beaten us like Louisville did for Conwell.  

But not surprising. 1 yr left for Conwell and Dix, who are good, not great players.

With Enright as our first official portal commit, we are now #24 in the 24/7 transfer rankings.

Nothing on there indicates he’s an insider or else they would’ve been spewing happiness

Does Payne only have a year of eligibility left? If so then yeah that may he a reason to pursue Bidunga instead.

I've just always been impressed with Payne. Such a beast.

Neither Flory or Payne are 30+ mpg guys so taking both would solve the 5 spot in a hurry

Idk.  Both closer to great than good. Depending on your measurement of those words, we likely won't get a "great" player then. 

We will get to see a team.  Might be fun.  Offense will try to look like Creighton's.  We will be capped by athleticism and size.

 Nahh. Neither are Javon Small or Tucker.

Derek Piper of our Illinois site is reporting that the Illini staff expects to hear about Josh Dix in the next 24 hours or so. 

I do know that Iowa has been in regular communication with Dix. 

One source said that Josh is getting some pretty big-time numbers thrown at him, so they'd lean him going elsewhere. 

Some are saying Illinois, some are saying Indiana. I'd bet it's one of those programs right now, but we'll see. 

I don't think Iowa has heard officially yet

@Certified Sunshine Pumperwhat's confusing about this? Flory isn't good enough offensively to play 30+ mpg on top of foul issues and Payne has never physically been able to play 30 mpg or really even come close to it.

A 22/18 minute split with Payne + Flory at the 5 with Flory playing a 4-5 minutes at the 4 when a bigger lineup is needed would be a good sell for DeVries. With multiple years of eligibility left, a good development year would potentially allow Flory to push 30+ mpg as an upperclassmen.

I like it, I love it, i want some more of it.   I don’t see either of them listening to that sales pitch unfortunately but from a winning basketball perspective it adds up.

Isn't realistic, they don't compliment each other enough. You pick

So much anxiety and arguing. None of that changes what will happen.

I mean Payne left Minnesota as a spot starter to go be a spot starter at Texas A&M. He's never averaged more than 23 mpg anywhere . I think he knows and understands his limitations at this stage. I really struggle to see Auburn guaranteeing Flory 30+ mpg next year. Would be a massive jump that ultimately leaves him disappointed. He's just not ready for those kinds of minutes yet.

However the worst free throw shooting duo we could pick.  Why can’t Zeller just come back and play the 5 eternity?  With enright and either of these centers the free throw shooting would suffer.

Why don't they compliment each other? You get 20 minutes of an elite shot blocker and potential high end rebounder who could be a massive threat in lob action and then you get 20 minutes of a brute who draws fouls and is very efficient around the rim. What else do you want/need from your 5?
