***Official B1G Off-Season Thread***

This is an Illinois podcast, but our 247 guys are some of the best at putting their bias aside. It’s a good discussion with an in-depth look at most of the Big Ten.

 
Wisconsin just had the worst off-season in the Big Ten for any team not named Minnesota.
I think you underestimate the talent we were able to add.


PG - Lu'Cye Patterson - 2nd team All-AAC

PG - Isaac Asuma - 4 star #9 pg in class

SG - Brennan Rigsby- started 13 games at Oregon last year.

SG - Tyler Cochran- 2nd team All-MAC
MAC DPotY

G/F - Femi Odukale - 3rd team All-CUSA

F/C - Frank Mitchell - 2nd team All-MAAC
Leading returning rebounder in CBB.

No, I don’t think anything there changes my mind about what you lost vs what you brought in. Looks like a decent mid-major, but that’s not enough in the Big Ten.

Lu'Cye Patterson/Isaac Asuma
Mike Mitchell jr/Brennan Rigsby
Tyler Cochran/Femi Odukale
Dawson Garcia/Parker Fox
Frank Mitchell/Trey Edmonds

Backcourt has way more depth than this past year. Cam Christie was a damn solid freshman, but let's not over-value him. Same as Hawkins. Hawkins is an elite passer, but is terrible finishing around the rim. Patterson is a much better scorer than he was. Mitchell is a rebounding machine. Top 7 in both defensive and offensive rebounding percentage in his first D1 season last year. Not to mention we'll have one of the oldest teams in the country. Everybody except Asuma is a Senior.

Not trying to pick an argument, but I just don’t see more than a bottom half team at the best.

Ware earns Summer league First Team honor. Nice to see his hard work with the staff at IU and his new NBA coaches get recognized.
 


Interesting list. I think Painter deserves to be top 5 tbh but not a crazy top 10.
 
I won’t be tamed. Going on the record that Michigan will fire May and you’ll be on here saying you don’t care about basketball anyway.
Tough to win at a FB Factory but May might get it done. I have been impressed with what I have seen so far.
 
Unfortunate news as Jakai Newton has a new or (re) injury setback. Don't know the degree yet. Heartbreaking for such a high-level player that is an even better person. Big missing piece last season with high expectation for this season.

Newton blue capped the message so hopefully no big deal.
 
I probably should one of these years. Would like to get to the big tourney in Indy once in my lifetime.
