Stuhoo Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 8 minutes ago, IUc2016 said: Adam Miller will be a freshman. Andre curbelo will be a freshman. They will not have the same impact a sophomore Ayo had this year. Not saying they won’t be good players, but we routinely see that freshman guards cannot lead a team in the big ten. I mean look at Illinois last year when Ayo was a freshman. And I disagree on Giorgi. I would take race all day, as he is a much better defender. We saw what Illinois interior defense looked like with giorgi in the middle. They lost more than20 games Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app I may be oversimplifying it, but for me Illinois will be pretty good next year with Cockburn, and pretty bad without him. i would imagine he’s a two year player, so they should be pretty good. bigrod and IUc2016 2 Quote

That’s where I am at. I think he comes back and they will be fine. But without him it would be a .500 team Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Stuhoo 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 So kinda thinking about the new transfer rule that might be implemented. Does anybody think their is a chance that universities like IU and UNC that operate multiple campuses and multiple basketball programs might start to unofficially use their directional affiliates and development programs. They would run similar offenses and then if they are good enough they get to transfer up. It could never be an official thing but one of those things nobody admits. cchuntsman 1 Quote

To be fair you didn’t think they’d be good this year. Many here mocked the preseason hype Illinois was getting. I’m not going to say a Freshman Miller equals a sophomore Ayo, but they have good talent coming in. If Cockburn returns, they will likely project ahead of us although if we get Lander, projections could be similar. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app For sure I didn't think they'd be good this year - I thought their front line was shallow and extremely suspect. Instead, Kofi Cockburn has been injury-free, and at times dominant. Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Jordan Burns for Colgate is a good player. Only a sophomore and average 15 points a game. Shoots 37% from 3. If he’s hot, not only will they likely win the Patriot League tourney, they could cause some trouble in the first round with the right matchup. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 4, 2020 Popular Post Posted March 4, 2020 Really nice moment in the Vermont vs. U of Albany. Josh Speidel got to start and UAlbany allowed him to score Vermont's first basket. If you've forgotten, Speidel was a highly touted UVM recruit from Columbus, IN, before a car accident in high school left him in a coma. Geometry Hoosier, BGleas, Stuhoo and 8 others 11 Quote
