Avila can’t guard anyone in the B1G and I think his O will be negated to an extent. Depends who is around him I guess.

There are so many others in the portal and yet to be in the portal as well as possible returning players that are far better suited for the B1G as well as BU systems. We have already seen the limitations of others (bigs) in the system.

Avila is a hell of a player for the system/league he was in, but he is no way a P-5 player based on his athletic shortcomings. He will have an above average college career imo, just not what BU will be looking for his system of this leagues pressures.

Wonder who Bruce Pearl is getting at Auburn, he has not 1 not 2 but 3 guards already in the portal.

Seth Trimble from UNC is in as well....one time offer from us.

So the current roster has 10 guys.  I'm assuming Jakstys redshirts and Morretti transfers, which drops this to 8.  Also, suspect Rodgers transfers out...

L. Goode, 6'7, Senior
Tre White, 6'7, Junior
Ty Rodgers, 6'6, Junior
A. Hansberry, 6'8, Sophomore
Jake Davis, 6'6, Sophomore
S. Harris, 6'4, Sophomore
DGL, 6'2, Sophomore
N. Morretti, 6'2, Sophomore
J. Jakstys, 6'10, Freshman
M. Johnson, 6'9, Freshman

Not questioning you as you probably know more than me on Rodgers, but what would the reason be he would leave?
He would certainly be in the rotation again next year and no matter where he goes he has to learn how to shoot beyond three feet.
Kind of figured he would be moved to the 4 or 3 as a key backup or possible starter assuming we find an actual point guard.

I wonder if Hawkins comes back. He is mid to late second round at best non guaranteed. If he can play as a 3 or 4 next year and show he can shoot and score consistently and guard wings in space he might move up.
He can make more in NIL than he will otherwise.

Tre White transferring in...

https://illiniguys.com/illinois-boosts-its-basketball-lineup-with-louisville-transfer-tre-white/

Benefit of the doubt to the staff...former 4*, not overly impressed with skill set. But with size, some ability to score at the hoop and a complete off season with BU and Fletch and the team. We will see how this adds with 6'7" and Davis @6'6" to add to team length.

IF Domask can come back...Domask, PG to be named, Rodgers, White, possibly Coleman in the S5? 6-6/6'?/6-6/6-7/6-10 with size still coming off bench. With guys coming back no one player may end up playing more than 20 a game...except of course Domask/CoHawk if they come back.

White's numbers aren't setting the world on fire but hoping the change of scenery going from a Louisville flaming shit dumpster fire to a team coming off an Elite 8 appearance will do wonders for him. Staff believes they can coach him up, and they have a pretty good track record in that department.

Were you excited last year when Illinois got a transfer from SIU?

I actually like the Tre White addition quite a bit. He is good and I’m sure the culture at Louisville was terrible. He has a very good skill set and will somewhat fill the role of Guerrier. Need these type of players on your team. He definitely won’t be the main guy but brings a ton of experience and basketball IQ to the team.
