2023-2024 Next Year Roster Expectations
« on: March 05, 2023, 04:43:09 PM »
At the risk of not enjoying our next 2-3 games....probably all we are getting with our current dysfunctional and underacheiving team on any given night....I am diehard ILLINI but man this team imo with the talent brought in has been overall very underwhelming in consistancy to say the least.

So looking forward to next year...

G-Harris, Moretti, DGL, Epps, Clark
Forward - Rodgers-Goode-Hansberry-Melendez-Hawkins
Centers - Dainja-Leib

Auto losses - Mayer-Shannon
Probable Loss - Hawkins
Transfer Potential Losses - Epps/Clark/Melendez/Dainja (?)

So we could be looking at losing in all likelihood up to (7), realistically (5) with only Hansberry and DGL coming in, Moretti is here and Perrin is gone.

We only have Johnson in 2024 as of now....The current list of offers out there are all very unlikely imo, none will be auto ready to contribute....better hope for the #1 transfer class next year...the time will be there for sure to sale to these guys.

I am a former 5-star general. Or maybe it was 4-star.
Nichi claims a guard with a 1.3 assist-to-TO ratio is a good passer.

Hopefully there isn't a big turnover of players like last year. 

Besides Shannon and Mayer graduating, I'm assuming Hawkins will enter the draft and they'll have at least two transfers.

If Undy can retain Epps, Rodgers, Harris, Goode, Melendez and Dainja, this should be a tourney team.

We'll be better off without him.

He is eligible for a Covid year.

I’ve come to the conclusion it’s best not to have expectations.

Update: It now looks like Mulcahy might be a possibility. Williams scholarship could be up in the air.

Up in the air from us or due to academics/injury waiver?

So has of now: Harmon in summer school, which means he may not even get here as a Grad transfer?

Williams is a 2 time transfer that needs a waiver due to injuries?

So we still may have 1-2 scholarships left then?

And no solid PG as of now?

And Mulcahy is not or WILL not go to another B1G school?

And Reeves is projected to go back to Kentucky to be the STUD, since they only have 7 currently...

This off season has been something so far.

Reportedly still needs to clear admissions and pass a physical to qualify for an Illinois scholardhip.

He needs a 2 time transfer waiver to be eligible right away.

This is all speculation. All scholarships are taken for now.

It looks like Harmon and Guerrier might have work to do in summer school. No details beyond that. There is still a mutual commitment. They'll have a ride assuming they meet the requirements. Guerrier needs to graduate because he transferred once. Not sure on Harmon. 

From what I gather, Mulcahy is interested in Illinois, but there are no scholarships available. One could open up soon if Williams is not admitted.

After Clark and Epps left, pg was the most important position to fill. And we're busy playing musical chairs with scholarships, summer school, eligibility, injured players and hopes that the NCAA will maybe approve a waiver for us ?

Most gossip has stated we passed on Mulcahy.  Right now its Gonzaga, Kentucky, Michigan, and Memphis. Why I don't know, but if true the staff has really fucked the dog on the PG situation.   If its another year of trail by committee it will likely be eerily similar to last seasons result.
