Let's see how long until the mud slinging, homophobic, political name calling, regular name calling etc takes to trainwreck this attempt.... nb!! ??? ;D

Starting off with Guerrier would actually help our frontcourt, wing somewhat. Would take him, but need a PG in the worst way....not sure one is coming.

Rodgers/Guerrier/Goode/Hansberry/Dainja plenty of time to go around.

Wait? So you have the word Chief in your username and you’re not homophobic or a political name caller? That’s extremely impressive. Kudos.

I will ask it here:

Who in the portal can Illinois get that actually overcomes Underachiever's inability to get the team ready for a Sat/Sun game in The Tourney?

Now here is a very sincere question from the VerySincereMan.

If they take Guerrier I don’t think Hawkins is coming back.

Guerrier wouldn’t come to his 3rd college in 5 years, at 24 years old, to come off the bench.

If Georgia can land a guy like RJM being .500 in the SEC we should really be able to find 2-3 more starter level guys. Disappointing that guys like Paveletzke and Battle are going to schools that aren't demonstrably better than Illinois though.

Not that we can land them, but BUT, if the B1G 2 don't come back with who we already have, and who is in the portal and STILL available:

Cisse
Cleveland
Guerrier
Alexander would be the best that we could get by rankings as of now.

Cisse helps Dainja in a big way....splits minutes
Cleveland is a wannabe, but hasn't proved it consistanatly yet a TSJ 2.0
Guerrier proven older scorer/rebounder/upperclassman
Alexander, possibly the best PG left per rankings so far....Big East experience, Brooklyn NY streetball edge...

What you think doesn't mean diddley squat. Just let it play out while the adults discuss what may or may not happen..

Georgia got Melendez bc their coaching staff recruited him when they were at Florida. They already had a relationship.

I think Domask can replace Melendez.

But it’s a huge drop off going from Epps/Shannon to Harmon/Goode.

And if Hawkins does leave there’s not another big out there that you replace him with.  Probably Hansberry gets those minutes. Or Guerrier.  It’s going to be a bad team.

It was a bad team this past year with some “star” players.  Take the stars away and it will be similar to Nebraska of this year.  Just older mediocre spare parts thrown together.

According to Rostercast, Illinois is currently ranked 40th.  Add Guerrier and they're ranked 46th.

Squeaky will love the addition.

ILLINI is currently ranked #23 Team recruiting rankings so far this year. Per 24/7 There area4 B1G teams ahead of them so far.  MSU/Ohio /St/Maryalnd/Rutgers. This is HS/portal commits to date.

Nate Calmese might be a sneaky pickup for PG. 2nd leading freshman scorer, avg 17.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. 3pt % 37. Lamar player, AZ kid.
Favour Aire previous VT recruit/Maryland H.S. think Egwu possibly at this stage...4 yrs to play. Previous 4*

These two would fill needs, have time to develop, not piss anyone currently on the roster off, and probably help us be better next year. Will either replace Hawk or TSJ....NO, but hell we gotta get some players and a previous 4 star defensive specialist and a freshman player of the year.

Can’t expect to get good players. We’re basically ASU but without the hot girls.
