What's Skyy at ? 3 in 2 ?

Yeah, that’s who I was thinking. Plus, Curbelo’s got quite a bit…
Because FOX News told me so…

Curbelo is at 3 schools in 4 years. If he has a year left he might do it.

JCL did 4 schools in 7 years.

I meant like a good player, but point taken.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Okay so we have Rodgers, Dainja, Goode, DGL, Hansberry, and Moretti potentially returning. I think we have around 2 transfer risks there, but assuming everyone is back with Johnson and the other two freshman, we would have 4 scholarships in hand and desperately need a PG and a scoring 3.

Danny Wolf from Yale (Glencoe IL), this guy could do some things for us.

We are stocked with NIL. Let's hit some home runs in the portal again.

And one of those home runs better be a point guard

I totally forgot Harris was still on the roster.

If we brought in Wolf, we would be stocked up front if Dain and Hansberry are both back with Morez coming in. I like what Hansberry showed in flashes this year so I hope he is back.

Zeke Mayo is presumptively going to Kansas. If he's off the board I'd like to see us go after Terrence Edwards Jr from JMU along with Storr. Troy Perkins from Iowa is also in the portal and would be a decent piece.

I've read that Harris wiped references to Illinois from his social media after the game.

As of April 1st Portal my preferences would be these guys assuming we will need another 4-5 guys with our own transfers/losses etc.

#1 Wolf, from Yale, a mobile big with some really outstanding skill set. (from illinois as well)
#2 Storr, Wisconsin, TSJ 2.0 literally with a different game, some upside, and a good fit skill set and needs for us. Otega Oweh would be backup.
#3 Mayo first choice as PG, if he is gone, then, TBD by future transfers entering portal. None in there now that I think helps us.
#4 Tyson from Belmont, this kid with Wolf and our returners/high schoolers. Domask 2.0 type of affect with more size.
#5 Player and Position TBD by needs.

This group would give us additional 7'0 mobile big, 6'6" wing, 6'4 outstanding PG, 6'7" skill set to play 2-3 spot.

I am for player empowerment in general, but I hate the transfer portal. It’s changed college sports too far in the other direction.

I think players should get one “free” transfer. Waiting for the day we see a player play four years for four different schools in four years.

This is the rule the NCAA made (one free transfer), but a court said that violated the kids' right to engage in the market for their labor.

What you read was evidently wrong.

The players need to be allowed to unionize and then all of this can be negotiated.  Of course, the RTW states would try to fuck it up.

Don't know what they said beforehand, but neither "bio/name" section mentions he is an Illini player.

Are pictures of him in an Illinois uniform s reference?
