Get a solid pg and 4/5 transfer and this is a 9-10 seed tourney team assuming Goode, Rodgers, Harris, Dainja and Hansberry are on the roster.

So take off Melendez, Hawkins, Epps, Shannon, Mayer (basically the starting 5), and replace them with a PG and a FW and it’s still the same level of team?

You’re crazy.

Well, you did say that this year's team sucked....

That’s my whole point. Not sure what you’re disagreeing with. My apologies, it was not sarcasm.

No worries, thought it was.

It's impressive how confident you still are despite your track record.

Three of those guys have a reasonable chance at coming back, too, because of course you'd just be wrong about that. Being wrong is What You Do.

ThePAMan and Tempo need to take notes on our handling of this misunderstanding… 😁

Return a core of Goode, Rodgers, Harris, and Dainja. 

Add a quality stretch four, a quality lead guard, and Hansberry and I assume Lawhorn?

There is also Moretti.

That is a start on a rotation.

That also leaves plenty of open rides to add more.

I feel like if Shannon comes back he will bolt.  He'd be fighting with both TSJ and Goode for minutes.  But we'll see.  It's been said he's a bit of a drama queen.

Reina del drama, he may very well be, then again aren't they all on some level?

Still apparently waffling.

You’re crazy.

Your broke ass predicted this year's team was so bad that they'd miss the NIT. 

I know this is a concept your tiny brain can't grasp, but Illini freshmen and sophomores do improve.

Goode and Rodgers replace Mayer & Melendez. 

Good riddance to Epps. Won't miss him shoulder checking the coach and would rather have Harris.

Dainja should be better.

A good pg and big replace Hawkins and Shannon.  This year's team was really hurt by not having a pg.  Also Broke Ass Squeaky said Hawkins and Mayer are terrible.  Now he's moving the goal posts.

Lastly, I'm expecting Hansberry to be a solid freshman.

Squeaky was also a successful day trader until Karen told us he lives in a dorm.
