Other boards are discussing Monsanto being in portal again, I lump him into the AJ Storr category, don't want him here, we can do better than that imo.

Sean Durugordon on the other hand 6'7" started at Mizzou and shoots 31% from 3, has shot higher % and is an athlete. 16 and 9 at ODU.

Oh yea he is a Queens native as well. OA where you at?

Wow, never thought we would agree on anything really, but yes let Baylor have him at that price.

Dain Dainja Zone and PJ Haggerty both in the portal now.

Stojakovic, would be huge for us on the wing

Why wouldn't we agree on anything? I mean, just because I think you're a weirdo doesn't mean I don't agree with you on some shit.

still plenty of time to find some players

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fiz05hed7z0ve1.jpeg

This is interesting. Over 2000 players and counting in portal. Assuming there were 4000 plus players on rosters and some portion graduated or are out of eligibility that means maybe 60-70% of roster turnover on average minimum.

I have said college basketball is now one big AAU circuit anymore where kids switch teams constantly and the quality of basketball shows.

Roll the balls out, whoever pays the most gets the players and coaching influence and player and team development is generally a joke.

I only paid casual interest in this past season. It will be a rare program that will have any real culture or cohesion moving forward.
It's entertaining at times but overall boring shitty basketball.

I know a lot of you hate the NBA but they have guys on contracts and some continuity and the level of play is the best in the world.

College programs will need contracts for the players also to improve the quality otherwise it will be AAU summer league for most programs.

The present Illinois staff is able to get their share of players but has not demonstrated any real ability to establish a culture or successful system of sum greater than the parts or roster stability above anyone else.

We have the money and will get enough talent to be in top 25-40 each year it appears.

I guess it could be worse.

Stojakovic, Miller and a player to be named later before end of weekend?

Still kind of meh on Miller other than the experience level...not sure we can't do better, but if he wants to come back in a specific role? Wilcher from St. Johns is in the portal now as well (Roselle Catholic kid), 4* or better also.

Stojakovic/Aberdeen would be a great great combo to pick up. These 2 with Boswell would make our backcourt as good if not better than our front court with a player yet to come along. Cade Tyson would not be a bad add at all...think the guy was hampered at UNC and didn't fit that team at all.

Aberdeen is a straight baller, proven, and size wise along the lines of Ayo.

Yeah I agree it sucks, can't really get invested in any players we recruit anymore and watch them develop except for the rare bench players it seems.
