If the rumors are to be believed...Shannon, your table is ready.

Impossible, he’s just a back up…
"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.

Good luck to him. A lot of potential for sure. Will be interesting.

Oh I’m sure he’ll get a high D-1 offer. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see him wind up at Kentucky and thrive. We pick up their reject (Skyy Clark) and they pick up ours (Curbelo) 😂

Miami needs a PG I believe?

Curbelo gone. EPPS/CLARK REPLACEMENT
Grandison and Hutcherson likely  moving on. SHANNON/MELENDEZ/RODGERS REPLACEMENT
Kofi likely staying. PAYNE/DAINJA TAKE BACKUP MINUTES
Hawkins likely staying. DAINJA/RODGERS TAKE BACKUP MINUTES
Podz likely staying. GETS A GREAT EDUCATION

Quite a few other names already in the portal with former ILLINI ties/offers, should be interesting off season to say the least.

Starting lineup could be 6'5, 6'6, 6'7, 6'10, 7'0.....Flying ILLINI days here we come....love the size difference, will still miss Frazier on the court, Belo not so much. Still wish him the best.

Who's the 6'5" point guard?  Clark is 6'3" and Epps is 6'1".

Sincere Harris, but they have him listed at 6’3” on 247.

Thought Clark was taller I guess....6'3....was listed at 6'2 somewhere as well....won't be any bigger I guess than what  we had.

To be fair though Frazier/Belo were probably listed taller as well...so we will be bigger. LOL

Agree, good luck to him. He has potential but he can't get himself to play under control. I used a saying from a former great NBA announcer when he made bad plays "the mustard is off the hot dog", which sums up how I feel about Curbelo. Out of control, couldn't be trusted, bad execution.. I didn't like his attitude, "I'm going to be me". What if "being me" leads to bad results? That can lead to less probability to winning. Why didn't he get off the bench in the 2nd half of the Houston game? I don't believe Underwood is a great coach but he saw/read the writing on the wall. If he couldn't/wouldn't play under control then it's best for Illinois basketball that he transfers out.
