Can't believe the fucking season is here already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!
Illini struggle early then roll by 30+
-
Hope the Free Shot shooting has improved
-
Could see this being a close game at half and then we start pulling away for a 15-20 point victory.
-
I will probably be wondering why Illinois didn't pay Coleman Hawkins around half time
-
Buddy just texted me and said Ty Rodgers red shirt?

Sad that you have Miles on Block.

I would hope nobody here actually uses the block feature. Ignore is for pussies.

Exactly.

Miles who?

Really made a killing at the line which is the difference in this game so far. 23/27 on free shots for us and only 2/8 for EIU.
30-12 advantage on the boards sure helps too.
-
Tall team.
Glad DGL has turned into TSJ.

Rodgers redshirting will cause us some serious headaches imo.
He waivered back and forth on returning this year, and this imo (no injury) speaks to redshirting like Sincere last year. He will likely move on, and that hurts as he was a fan favorite, returner with insight/ability to help lead.
IMO he was over recruited, (Harris-Hansberry were too), and when we have more than likely 2-4 leave next year for whatever reasons...well, getting guys to buy in and come here may not be as easy again. NBA losses will help us, but this will sting for awhile.
BU will continue to reload every year it looks like. This year without TR rebounding/defense...looks alot less appealing. I hope I am wrong.

Is Will Riley HIM?

I mean he still cant fucking shoot in year 3, a guard that cant shoot has limited use

The Ty Rodgers thing is inexplicable to me. it's not even clear they recruited over him because he played out of position last year and started for an Elite Eight team. We brought in guys from shittier teams and they get slotted above him at the start of the season? Unless he was demanding 30 mpg+ or he walks we did that guy wrong.
I'm excited about this team but it's head-scratching how we got here, and that's been a common theme of Brad's time as coach even before NIL and transfers took over. It's like he can't think 6 months ahead let alone 2 years.
-
Didn't the assistant who is taking a leave of absence recruit Rodgers? Maybe they'll both land the same place next spring?
-
Rodgers is a try hard guy that is big and can’t shoot. He will most likely never be able to shoot. Brad’s job is to bring in as much talent as he can and compete for titles. (Yes, PAzher, Big Ten titles count)
Rodgers is absolutely awash in a sea of guys his height that all have a more well rounded skill set than he has. We don’t need him at point this year so he’d be off the ball. The other off the ball guys he’s competing with for time can actually put the basketball through the hoop outside of layup range.
Turnover in college basketball is insane. We think it’s an Illinois problem, but it’s rampant pretty much everywhere. Hard telling what the Tim Anderson effect was here as well.
I’d rather have him on the team than not have him, but he’s been an extremely limited player in his two seasons here.

I can't get excited about the free shots until January 6th.

This team is going to be really good, I like the plethora of length, ball handling and shooting ability of just about everyone on the floor
-
If Rodgers wasn't planning on redshirting before, he for sure would have after tonight.

How long till donors and boosters get tired of paying guys to sit out a year?
