If you think Dom is willing to openly answer a question that shows how wrong he was about a thing he already claimed victory on, you've never met this fucking moron.

He has the emotional maturity of the 15 year old kids he tries to fuck.  He's not going to suddenly grow up.

I had IL at 14-18 before Terence Shannon committed. Shannon was worth 3 additional wins.  I upgraded my projection to 17 wins. An accurate estimate given a normally distributed Big 10 schedule.

As long as you just PRETEND, it was an accurate assessment!

Just pretend I was right and I was, guys!  Please?!

It's totally okay to have been wrong like you were.  Lord knows everyone here's been wrong at some point (although none as consistently as you - congrats on that).

What's the beta bullshit is being so insecure that you can't even admit that you were wrong.  My 5th grade niece holds herself more accountable than you do - that ain't good, pal.

Except it was actually inaccurate.

That’s the dumbest projection I’ve ever seen.

First, Illinois finished 52 in Torvick in 2023.

So you are telling me removing Shannon, Mayer, Epps, Melendez, and replacing them with Harmon, Domask, Gibbs, and Hansberry.  And you improve 11 spots? 

Oh yeah, I was wondering how is that even possible?  Well they got Domask averaging 14 PPG.  Not happening.  Dainja 16 PPG.  No. 

Preposterous projections.

T-rank projected the 2022-23 team as an NCAA tourney.

Squeaky-rank, aka retard-rank, projected 17 wins and no NCAA  tourney.

Will trust t-rank over retard rank.

T-Rank projected IL would be 14 last year.  I predicted they would suck.

I was right.
They were wrong as usual.

Preseason 14
Final rank 50

Everyone with common sense knew that without Kofi, the team would be significantly worse.

The loss of Frazier and Williams had no effect at all.

How does Kenpom 35, Sagarin 30, NCAA 9 seed, tied for 5th in the B1G translate to "final rank 50"?

I thought they predicted mid-20's.

LOL that a guy who predicted them missing the NIT, thinks he was right.

Squeaky's head may explode if this happens.

I'd give it about a 10% chance of happening

Nope.  14th.

https://barttorvik.com/team.php?team=Illinois&year=2023

You can see the ranking as the schedule changes. 1st game was 14.  Got as high as 11.  Last game was 46.  Final ranking on the site today was 50

14 to 50.

Not counting on that one at all. Or anybody staying or coming.

Hard to say who they end up with at lead guard but I can assume we will not be starting Harris or Rodgers there.
I am sure they are looking at a lot of guys.

Another name being mentioned is RayJ Dennis. Maybe only because he is out there.
Again, nobody really knows if we are even in contact.
It's all just message board talk.

Campbell was recruited to DePaul by Tim Anderson. 

Can't see why he'd want to leave UCLA for Illinois though.
