Jayden Epps, one on one champion, gets the chance to showcase his skills at the Iverson Classic at 3, on CBSSN.

If Coleman and RJ are wondering about TSJr coming in, I did see a couple of roster suggestions with all 3 in the line-up.
Clark, RJ, TSJr, Coleman and Dainja.
or
Clark, RJ, TSJr, Rodgers and Coleman.

Oh, absolutely. Lots of options with this group of players.
Nobody is going to be getting 33-34 mpg early at least, but with 200 minutes- 7 guys can avg 28, or 8 guys can get 25.
Shannon played 25 mpg last year.

Hopefully play some tempo and nobody will be barking about needing to get 3-5 more minutes.

Agree. One thing you can say about a system like Samscum and Houston is they play more guys big minutes than usual and are in your face every fcking play.
They wear your ass down physically and mentally.
Would like that type of intensity and intimidation factor.

That’s great if you either have the personnel or the depth to accomplish that.

Fun to watch if it’s effective.

We may be going "young" at the right time for us guard wise....looking at next years returners in the B1G as far as guard play, Iowa and Northwestern may give us the most problems from an "experience" level of play only.

Many teams will have young guard play overall, Skyy/Epps being our primary's may be enough within conference play. Obviously, teams could still add more transfer help as of now...but best guards returning next year in conference are:

Iowa - Perkins and the McCaff attack. Sandfort also, although young.
NW - Buie, Audige, Berry
Wisky - Hepburn, Davis, but there offense may be atrocious next year...

Add TSJ for our experience and maybe a seasoned PG we will be fine, even without another transfer Sincire may come into play also.

Rodgers could run the offense if needed.

I am pretty sure we are not going to add an experienced lead/point guard who wants 25-30 ppg.
Clark and Epps did not come here to watch and only play 10 mpg backing up at that guy and Shannon.

As for Rodgers- he looks versatile and appears to be able to guard 1-4. Great feet and strong. Will allow us to play Hawkins at the 5 if we want, spell Hawkins, and also play the 3.
We are close to being set unless it is a premiere big who can run and play the 4/5 like Nance.
Or a backup inside who fits the more modern system.

Definitely not. It's an Illini tradition as much as a dancing Native at halftime to wish the best player on the basketball team is not coming back.

I don't think people really have a strong opinion either way.
