You played this game for fun as a kid, for yourself, no other reason was needed then or now, so, don't kid yourself.

Possibility of going with the JJ Taylor train again? He wants to play with Mikey Williams who is already chosen UCF....soooo?

Drew Steffe 6'5 wing is interesting, Richard Keene type of scorer.

Peter Filipovity 6'7 forward-Maine...around the rim scorer, below the rim.

Sean Moore 6'5 from FDU is interesting as well.

Coach will have to reload again this year, the good news is that the ILLINI play is or should be enticing every year for transfers.

Those rankings appear terrible even ignoring what happened this season.

Also wonder if Epps or Skyy second-guess their choices here nowadays given how dogshit their teams wound up being.

Couple of Musselman Arkansas transfers already in.

Pinion and Menifield, I could see BU interested in either player, especially Pinion.

Hopefully Underwood will take the chemistry issue into account after Mayer last year vs the 3 brought in, and bought in, for this year's team.

Valid point, not sure the Coach stays put either though.
