I. Any believe he was a 5* recruit coming out of HS. He sucked at Indiana and was really never any good for them.

If Curbelo leaves (?), then Epps/Lander/Skyy would give us some very good options. Paired with Melendez/Goode/Rodgers/Sencire on the wings and Hawkins/Dainja/Payne in the middle....or 4 at times for Hawkins/Dainja...I think we could be okay with some games under our belts.

Fair enough...he would have to not suck in order to pass the other two in the rotation, and if Belo stays, won't need a PG or whatever he is anyway

Pinson is a solid PG but man it'd feel like Illinois is just building a team of average free agents if they start to target guys like that.  Pinson would be on his 3rd college team.  If i had a championship level team and just needed to add a piece, then I'd take him. But if you are rebuilding, you don't bring in a guy like that because it would diminish the playing time of the younger guys.

I'd roll with Harris/Epps/Goode/Melendez/Hawkins and see how they do. 

And Lander stinks.

Pinson was not an option in my eyes, just confirming him and others are jumping ship, he did have ILLINI interest in the past, no I wouldn't want him now.

Another Indiana guard in the transfer portal…

Woodson is cleaning house it appears. Fired Fife as assistant coach and now two of the highly-rated guards are out.

Not sure how reputable this is but-Plummer/Grandison/Hutcheson/Frazier/Williams all gone this year. I realize the last 2 didn't count against the program for schollies....but?

Was Fife brought to IU by Miller or Woodson? I know he'd been an assistant for Izzo for quite a while.

Woodson brought him in. There’s some really good articles online regarding the situation that transpired and what not.
