No idea why. He would have gotten major minutes next year
This is gonna hurt
-
I can only laugh.....so Illinois. Just never stops.
-
Just ridiculous.
Unbelievable
Why did he even stay for this year?
-
I'd say he's not going to start next year don't know who's pushing him off that block. Be it either an incoming transfer or whatnot.
I don't see any positives in this especially on top of losing kip, Feliz, Ayo, and maybe even Kofi.
-
Word is his mom is pushing for this while his dad wanted him to stay
-
lol people are blaming Brad for this saying no one wants to play for him
-
He had a tough start this year. A couple shoulder bumps, then the PU game. He sat, he learned, and let his game do the talking after he came back.
Hate to see him go.
Good luck to AG.
-
Thats too bad he was actually starting to play well towards the end of the season
-
He's the highest offensive rated efficient player in the big ten
-
Based on a minimum amount of minutes played during a season Alan Griffin is the highest efficiency player in the big ten on offense. 130. It's higher than Garza.
-
Damn
-
ChicagoFan was right about something?
-
Gonna end up at Duke just watch

Tons of rumors and gossip about Alan Griffin transferring from the #illini. One piece of factual info on it. The coaching staff is very surprised by this news. Was primed to be a starter next season. Take that for what’s its worth

spoke about Alan Griffin on our show yesterday.
“He’s moving in the right direction & I think you can say that for the entire team & the whole program under Coach Underwood & I think he did a phenomenal job this year.”
-
Theories:
1. He hates Brad.
2. He thinks he gets squeezed out by Curbelo and Miller.
3. This has been the plan all along to establish himself, transfer to a bigger name, and have his brother show up to play together.
-
you think he's going to duke? lol
This does suck though like I said he was playing well in the second half of the season. Parents man... they can really be stupid sometimes
-
if he goes to duke he'' play maybe 15 mpg
his mom wants him to be the focal point
-
I think it's possible he goes to Duke, yes.
I also think it's more possible he goes somewhere in between (Nova, Syracuse, etc.) and AJ pulls the Duke verbal to go with him. He doesn't sign until November and Duke is still recruiting other top-10 wing forwards.
-
As expected, now Tevian is gone.

No shocker there. Too bad.
-
Tev is a talented basketball player who either doesn't have the mindset for college ball or was a terrible personality fit here. Will be interesting to see who takes a flier and if it works out for everyone.
-
Nebraska and 20 other teams after Griff already
-
boggles my mind that he hated it here so much that he's willing to sit for a year just to transfer
frankly its pretty pathetic behavior considering how much coach and the staff had his back after his stupid "incidents" on the court this year
or did the NCAA change the rules?
I don't even care about Jones, dude was worthless here except for one game
-
It’s speculated Griffin is leaving over a girl. Has to do with STD’s, verbally abusive behavior by him, etc... He reportedly told her something along the lines that nobody would believe her and she didn’t have the guts to say anything. Well she apparently blasted his ass all over Instagram on he story. After 24 hours, it disappears. That’s the word on the street close to the situation.

I had heard that as well.

Point for point in their careers Griffin making Kendrick Nunn look calm and composed.

well that makes more sense than momma wanting him to switch schools while his dad did not
-
This definitely sucks. Griffin has an outside shot at the NBA if he can tighten up his ball handling and improve his defense (a lot).
I doubt it has anything to do with Underwood, guys don’t usually play that hard for a coach they don’t like. But who knows. My money is on him ending up playing with his brother, probably at Duke.
Now we really need one of the transfers to pan out, or maybe for Damonte to keep hitting 40% on threes.

It’s a shame they can’t just have her profs flunk her in all her classes and force her to drop out like in the good ole days. Fucking #metoo is killing college sports.

God damn it we need to vet shooting guards for this shit I guess.
-
Duke not among the final six.
-
Are we still assuming Ayo is gone?
Are we assuming there will be NCAA basketball next year?
-
Syracuse. Will be interesting to see how that plays out, assuming we do, in fact, have college basketball again.

Must have liked the assistant coach's wife?
-
Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense should be a good fit. Plus, his dad played there.
Watch, he'll be a spot up shooter on offerense.
There will be basketball eventually.
