Well, I recall standing in The Bellagio knowing the Illini would blow the game as I was watching Weber's team brick FT after FT against Va Tech because the guys could not shoot FT all year.

Don’t let Bruce Weber and Mitch Trubisky trauma haunt you forever.

Not sure you have much of an impact on Bears qb play or Illini FT shooting.

Busting your balls a bit. Chill out and give things some time. Think I saw Ty Rodgers went 1-6? If he goes 4-6 their numbers look more respectable. You’re very impatient and irrational lately.

So you’re freaking out about two freshmen and a 270 pound big going a combined 2-12 on opening night. Now THAT is something to be worried about!

To be fair, I’d say your Justin Fields concern (while over the top) was/is more warranted than a poor FT/defense performance on opening night with an all new cast in a 30 point win.

Who do you think teams are going to hack in crunch time?

Sorry, but I can't let this go.  It was Ron Felling at Lawrenceville.

Feller?
Forget it, he's rolling.

This is not the Low Thinker/High Thinker bit from HQ OG, but Short Term versus Long Term. I'm thinking Super Bowl/Final Four and you are thinking of Danny Parkins' next broadcast.

After the first 2 games, all these guys are confirming what I saw on their HS tapes.

Harris can be developed.  His athleticism, arm length I think will make him a quality player that could play in the NBA.

Sky Clark is Mark Smith 2.0.  Looks smooth but isnt very athletic. He’s just a guy. 

Epps I thought was more athletic on his tapes than what he’s shown.  He too looks like just a guy.

Rodgers imo is like a Draymond Green.  Put Green on a great team like the Warriors, and he’s a difference maker. But if you put him on a bad team, he’s not gonna really matter. I think Rodgers needs great players around him to then be able to play his own junkyard dog role. But on a average to IMO bad team like Illinois I don’t see him standing out.

Mayer stinks.  His stats at Baylor and age should have told everyone that.

Dainja will struggle vs taller players bc he has no lift.  Maybe he can be Shaun Pruitt at best. 

Hawkins/Shannon look very good.

Overall team wise this roster reminds me of some mediocre Maryland or Cincinnati teams. Where there were plenty of tall rangy athletic wings but not much shooting.  Feels like to me some of the pieces are redundant.  Gonna be a bubble or below year.  They really should attempt to mimic Syracuse and Syracuse zone. That’s the style they should play.  If they play up tempo vs good teams and man-man defense they’ll be really bad
