There's now 3 crystal balls for Boswell.

I'm skeptical Underwood will get both Boswell and Maddox.  The loyalty "insiders" are typically overly optimistic.

Im pretty much okay with anyone except AJ Storr keep that garbage off this team and the Illini will be just fine.

Miller is going to get Maddox.

Not sure how UTAH got this guy, but hell if Storr's doesn't work out, this kid has got some game.

Kind of reminds me of someone.



Redshirted last year. Sophomore.

Sounds like Hansberry is leaving and Chet's taking a new job...  The Carey Booth rumors make more sense now.

Also the Loyalty "insiders" don't seem as optimistic on Storr.  Not a huge loss if he goes elsewhere imo.

I honestly don't think Storr's is a great fit for us. He is more limited imo than TSJ, he by record is not that interested or good at defense. His shooting can be replaced just as easily as many others in the portal. He is athletic, but that can be gotten as well.

Davis/White imo don't either one match up to Storrs ability...but we are not done as of yet either.

If Storrs is wanting major bank, he will probably be left out in the cold so to speak when we and others say no, that ## doesn't work for us.

Let's assume we lose Amani (possible), I like Hansberry, but I have never really thought he was uber talented. If rumors are that Booth or another B1G can come in and we actually lose Amani (not saying we should-but we could) then I think I would be okay and I am not sure the team may or may not be better.

Right now:

Rodgers - He is our Alpha based on talent and culture buy in?
DGL - Wants to succeed almost that it pains him I think...I like the drive and buy in.
Goode - Next in line for an Asst job somewhere after graduation...LOL
Davis - Good shooter, all of us don't really know what will happen here.
White - Let's hope we are getting the Top 50 USC guy, not the I am lost and I play for a shi&&y team in L-Ville guy.


As of now Moretti/Hansberry/Harris rumored to be possibly transferring? If so we need a team of right fit playa's and by acct BU is going for them!

2 PF types with outside game
1-2 C types with mobility but decent size
1-2 PG that are proven scorers and distributors and not midgets for the BU team!

Who that will be that are bonafide gets at this stage, I am not sure. We have Morez coming and that is it for next year as of now.

We need: Boswell for sure!, Wouldn't mind Cade Tyson still, Garrison for a big or Booth, rather have Garrison., Payne would still be great, Ausar would fill alot of holes imo, Maddox would be the topping on the next 4-5 guys we will be getting.

I thought Harris was staying or does Chet leaving change that?

Possibly changes that and Amani I believe. We will see.

After Tate allegedly said on the radio over the weekend he was leaving. Something good must have happened. I liked the young man's defense.

Leave it to you to compliment a 20% career free shot shooter!
"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.
