Repeat after me:

Shannon is not coming back.

Now let’s think.  Maybe Domask/Harmon can replace Mayer.  Ok, let’s roll with that.  You’ve replaced Mayer.

Melendez, Shannon, Epps.  You take those guys off a bad team, it’s gonna be even worse the next year.  Far worse.  Even if Hawkins comes back

Better go check the transfer portal or better yet - by ranking (and yes rankings aren't everything, BUT)

Epps (69) Domask (81) Clark (93) Harmon (106) RJ (111) those numbers are not far off. If we consider #81 and #106 take care of those 2 then by subtraction we are still better off without Mayer/RJ (could be argued) as one or both were distractions. I believe now that we have some holes filled, we may very well end up with some bigger names yet.

Roughly 30 days or so still for NCAA and 45 or more for the likes of Hawk and TSJ. IF and it is a big IF, TSJ does not get guarnateed $$ from NBA, he will be back and get ALOT of NIL $$$ thrown his way next year, Hawk as well, difference is Hawk will be told maturity is the issue, and it is.

Domask/Harmon are taking the roster spots of Mayer/Melendez

IMO, that’s a downgrade. Especially given what Melendez could develop into. I don’t think the roster is improved there.  And it’s 2 more guys that will be here exactly 1 season.

Illinois is 41st in T-rank with the additions of Domask and Harmon. They were 52nd prior to the additions.  These 2 transfers are essentially the Mayer and Epps replacements.

https://barttorvik.com/rosters24.php?team=Illinois&year=2023

One of the few legit Loyalty insiders,  Illini0440, is predicting both Shannon and Hawkins return.  I'd be very surprised if Shannoj returns, but if this happens, this would be a top 25 team, with a couple roster spots open for a big and a pg

Better read again.  I said Kofi was leaving last year when the same idiots like you saying Shannon was coming back were also doing the same thing with Kofi.

I believe it’s a 10 page thread on this site.

Again, I’m not gonna correct all your errors.  But this one is just plain dumb when the thread I made is on the front page

Tell us again how Illinois would win 14 games and then 17 games, and lose their first game in the NIT.

Then go back and clean up the puke from your car.

Breal, if that is who Illini0440 is, claims they are working out with team daily and do not look a lot like they are going anywhere. He has a friend in the AD office which was always his inside source.
I don't think anyone knows what is going on.

I think Domask starts no matter what.
Harmon may be a depth guy which can't hurt.

Glad we have them. We need a starting PG and a Big.

😂 you people are dumb as shit.

Where else is Shannon going to work out?

It’s time for another bet. You believe these idiots. Alright, time to take out the trash.

I will bet you Shannon is not on the 2023-24 Illini.  Period.  If he’s not, you never post again here.  Ever.

If he is, I won’t.

Bet?

You think these people have a clue.  Prove it.  I’m the only insider here. And I’m putting my name on this

Are you guys saving your 2023 portal posts for the 2024 portal thread when we will be replacing Epps and Mayer's 1 year replacements ?

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.

I think you should go get the trash and piss and puke out of your car from last night. Maybe you get lucky and somebody left a half eaten burrito on the floor for you to eat.
Or maybe they left some candy to try and handout on the playground.

Run along now you piece of shit.


WAIT- How did Illinois do in the NIT?   Please tell us you fucking moron.

Torvick has a history of vastly overrating Underwood and transfers.

For example,  he had IL at 14 preseason.  They finished 50th.

They finished 2022 at #20, lose Kofi, and he has them #14 the next season.  Ridiculous

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.
