A bidding war for Adam Miller. GMAFB.

I think BU may be pulling the plug on this one, it may have been a feel good story, but unless Ace takes less $$$, I don't see this one happening. Honestly with the injury and his age, and the fact he will NOT play PRO ball in the US...take the brinks truck now Miller. The ILLINI have just as good if not better options, Stoyakovic is the start.

Getting Miller would supposedly give them the inside track on Devin Cleveland, the #1 in-state prospect in 2027.

Soon there will be two year contracts that guarantee 20M if you stay two seasons. Imagine 3 for 30.

Andrej Stoyakovic isn't visiting until tomorrow, so I would think no roster additions would happen until at least tomorrow late or Weds with him, after that a SG and a traditional PF type to finish the roster out for next year.

Epps will get a fair amount of interest, just not here.

Adam Miller should pay Illinois to come back here.

I would gladly take Stoyakovic, Zeke Mayo, and a true athletic PF/C type and call it good for next year.

I know it’s still early technically because we got our two biggest gets of the offseason last summer, but I’d sure feel a lot better if we got a difference maker/momentum soon.

Agreed, so called insiders claim this week is the turning point? We'll see, if Stoyakovic goes on more visits, we are out on that. I don't think UCONN will play a part, I cannot imagine the family wanting to subject their kid around that sour puss everyday...LOL

Mihailo Petrovic our newest Guard addition.



Being reported now!!

PG Mihailo Petrovic has committed to Illinois, agent Misko Raznatovic told ESPN. The 22-year-old Serbian is an MVP candidate in the Adriatic League, ranking second in assists (7.3 per game) and top-10 in scoring (14.3 ppg), this pickup is HUGE for us!!!
