Predict the 2022-23 season record
« on: May 03, 2022, 02:12:24 PM »
Estimate the overall record: 17-16

What will be the Big 10 record: 8-12

Will the team make the NCAA tourney: No

Will the team make the NIT: No

Starters:

Epps
Shannon
Melendez
Hawkins
Dainja

Bench
Goode
Clark
Rodgers

Honestly this is the best case scenario.  Underwood managed to lose 20 games with Ayo on the roster so I’m being overly generous given the question marks on the roster

I am leaving it open for comment.

I don’t think the roster is set by any means, so how could I possibly make a prediction?

For housekeeping:

I scouted the 4 Illini commits tonight.  Took a deep dive into their highlights, athleticism, etc.  Here are my findings:

Sencire Harris:  awkward long lanky lefty. Very athletic, but high dribbler. He’s a guy that would be best becoming a defensive stopper.  Looks very awkward on offense off the dribble. 

Jayden Epps:  I think he’s great. He’s a Carsen Edwards clone.  Good size, explosion, score anywhere.  He’s better than any guard Illinois had last year.  He should start every game.

Skye Clark- not seeing anything special here.  Good stroke from 3. He looks fundamentally sound.  For as awkward as Harris looks, Clark is a natural.  But lack of athleticism and blow by ability means he’s probably Geo Baker or Rich McBride at the college level.

Ty Rodgers-  strong athlete, limited skills. Undersized 4. Ideally he becomes like a Ja’Sean Tate but very few guys can actually make that work.  I could see him washing out.  Lot of hype over bearing Michigan State for him but I don’t see much skill with him.

So I think Illinois has 1 great All Conference lever player (Epps), a project (Harris), a low ceiling reliable starter (Clark), and a guy that I think belongs at a level lower than the Big 10 (Rodgers).

Interested to hear others opinions

I thought your prediction was 14-18?  why puss out?


Anyway my guess is that we win over 22 games

I don't see the roster as final and our starters in November my not be our starters in March aside from Shannon.

I think our depth chart is currently this:

1: Clark, Epps
2-3: Shannon, Goode, RJ, Harris
4: Hawkins, Rodgers
5: Dainja, Lieb

That's probably an 8 seed or so. We still have at least 2 scholarships I think and another CG and a forward who can guard the 5 would be great.

Yeah, I have no idea what that is. So many unknowns. Unlike some other posters I don’t think we can afford to go into the season without another experienced guard. And we obviously need some kind of big.

Im assuming Underwood will make the non-conference as easy as possible given the freshman.

If it’s a tougher non-conference, 13-19 is in play

Unless it is a backup PG who is willing to be a spot backup to provide a little bit of insurance for an Epps or Clark injury and early season meltdowns I do not see it.
Both of them will want and should get over 20 mpg. Shannon will want 25+. RJ and Goode and Rodgers and Hawkins all will want 20-25. Dainja will get 20. Harris will want to play also.

No room for another guard unless he is a 5-8 mpg guy.

I'm not a rocket scientist, but I have stayed at Holiday Inn Express....pretty sure 17-16 and 14-18 don't add up the same either?

Well given that we don’t know what the non-con schedule, it’s be hard to pinpoint an exact record.

17-16
14-17
13-19

It’s likely Illinois plays 31-33 games however based on the last 5 years.

It’s the same difference.  Suckville.

Well given you don't seem to know what your talking about most of the time, that might be why the records are different as well?
