Re Hawkins, Christie and anyone else who has declared for the draft and entered the portal .....
"Christie will be listed in the portal as a "do not contact" because his name is still in the NBA draft, according to ESPN's Jonathan Givony".

He's in the "transfer portal" to "transfer" but he's in a "do not contact" status.

Uh, ok.

5 Player may be coming from overseas, at this point, Cisse would be an awesome get at this point as well.

Another wing to consider is Jaylen Wells, good shooter, can create, good size.

Is the 5 you're referring to Tomislav Ivisic?

Kadary Richmond visiting Kentucky - The Pope his holding court needless to say, if he brings him in....damn it will look like Kentucky will do better without Chin and Antigua just as we did after they left ILLINOIS....that said, really glad we got Antigua back though....Anderson is a HUGE upgrade over Chin imo.

Rumors by insiders (allegedly) are that we will be getting Tomislav Ivisic, who I really like his game to man the middle, he likes to pass, can rebound, not overly athletic, but a good shooter as well.

Nice pick up, if true.  The "insiders" will be 6 for 50+.

Hint at a bunch of kids committing to Illinois and you're bound to get a few right.

Fair enough but this one has legs....and I am not talking about just his on that 7' frame.

I like the Humrichous pickup.

Still desperately need a combo guard and a scoring wing. Depth chart is a mess - unless I'm forgetting someone we have a PG, a combo-ish guard, 5 forwards, and 2 centers. Running Boswell, White, and Rodgers as a perimeter unit is a ticket to a very long season.

DGL is going to have to make a sophomore leap if we don’t recruit over him, and if we do, he may not be on the team by second semester.

If they get Big T, the rotation looks like...

Big T, Humrichous, Rodgers, White and Boswell, with Johnson, Booth and TBD transfer off the bench.  DGL and Davis battle for 9th man..

Ideally they can find someone who moves Rodgers or White to 6th man.

Tomislav Ivisic at the 5

Allows Coleman to come back to the 4 spot (who knows, if he gets at least some positive feedback-he will go pro)

Chaz Lanier at the wing/guard spot would be ideal.
