I can see Rodgers starting next year along with Goode. Although Rodgers can't shoot, he can play make, defend and rebound 

If Hawkins returns, which he should, put him at center and find a pg who can shoot and stretch 4 via the portal.

Harris can be the high energy 6th man.

Agree Rodgers is a baller. Would be good 6th man IMO, as he can play and guard 1-4. Has to get a jumpshot.
We need to get some firepower in the portal.

I was high on Harris till he shot 4/20 from the free throw line this year.


I look at it as a miracle he even shot 31% from 3.

The team will be awful next year.  One of the worst Illini teams of all time level awful.

You are trying too hard you pathetic fcktard.
Did you enjoy watching Illinois in the NIT??

If you repeat it another 20 times, it might come to fruition.

I remember our worst teams. Paxton Warden, Connor Serven, and AJ Redd would have been upgrades.

Right now, those three will likely be back next year. Nobody knows who else will be on the roster.

Matt Mayer is thankfully done. I am being facetious. Sort of. Perrin is pursuing pro opportunities in France. Clark, Epps, and Lieb are in the portal..

Shannon  and Hawkins entered the draft, but retained the option to return. My guess is both are 60/40.

Goode, Rodgers, Dainja, and Epps are virtual locks to return. RJ seems to be 50/50.

Among the signed recruits; Hansberry and DGL, look solid as of now and Moretti already enrolled early.

Did I forget anyone? They have plenty of scholarships to add some 'pieces.' There is a word that has changed in meaning.

We will be fine. Hopefully staff learned some things about roster construction.

I’m just preparing people in advance.  There will be no changing of expectations given the pending roster.

You get a coach that loses 20 games in season 7.  He’s fired.  Period.

And just to give people perspective on what Underwood’s era is like:

The Kofi years were like the 1999-2001 football years with Kurt Kittner.  Only difference is Ron Turner lucked into the Sugar Bowl thru a technicality and Underwood couldn’t even luck his way into the Sweet 16.

This past basketball season was like the 2002 football season.  Very disappointing but an anticipated step back.

The 2023 basketball season will be like the 2003 football season.  A horrific team with a dead coach walking.

We can only hope that Whitman, unlike Coach Guenther, pulls the plug on the train wreck immediately after the season.

You initially predicted 14 wins for the 2022-23 team.

My recommendation is to see what the 2023-2024 roster looks like by May and save your incessant trolling until then.

No, Harris really did shoot 4/20 from the FREE THROW LINE.  20% 😂

I could have made 7/20 even with being nervous in front of a big crowd.  And I’m bad at basketball. 4/20 are you kidding me?  I’d investigate him for point shaving

A higher 3 point percentage than free throw percentage has to be very rare.

Underwood is going nowhere. We will not lose 20 games.

You will still be a lonely sad little broke fuck cleaning puke, shit, and pee out of your car every night and living in a flop house for crackheads.

Nice life you have carved out for yourself.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

He is a moron and that is what morons
living in a flophouse with no life do.

Had us at 14 wins last year. Then changed it to 17 when he realized he was a total idiot.
Then guaranteed we would be in NIT until late in the season.

Of course he was wrong on everything as usual.

I am hoping he attacks an FBI facility defending Trump and gets obliterated in his puke ridden 1987 Ford Taurus.
