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

[hailtoyourvictor]

Illinois is about to be a top 5 team on Friday.

Sorry the truth disappoints you.

😂

Since you cited Torvik, let’s bet on end of season Torvik rankings between Illinois with Kofi and Michigan.

 

[CO_hawk]

Garza might be the worst defensive big I’ve ever seen, how many NPOY’s have ever gone undrafted lol

How many NPOY's will Kofi have?

 

[CO_hawk]

It’s honestly embarrassing that he won POY.

But I guess all the national guys just look at a box score and make their decision.

The fact that the other team is running lay-up lines on the other end didn’t matter apparently.

Lol, nice try. Dominated everybody. Beat Kofi down the floor every time as well.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

How many NPOY's will Kofi have?

Kentucky is due for one

 

[CO_hawk]

Lol you didn’t watch either of those games clearly.

First game he got 2 quick fouls, played like 8 or so minutes the entire first half.

Garza had 21 points on 8-21 shooting. Kofi had 26 points on 11-17.

Certainly the NBA takes into account potential. Not arguing that.

Garza is a NPOY that isn’t going to be drafted. When is the last time that’s happened?

Kofi can only lay up and dunk. Don't try and compare percentages. Kid wont play a season in the NBA.

[IUBtown]

Yep I guess IU fans will be happy being the bigger brand and Purdue fans will be happy being the better team

At some point that has to change right? Just like Michigan Football can't be this bad for long right?

 

[CO_hawk]

UK's fanbase is bigger for sure, but that's only a fraction of NIL. Donors are the ones doing the big deals. As we showed when we offered more than UK could for an AC, our donors will pony up. If you think they're going to roll over for the most dominant player in cbb, you're dumber than you've shown here, and well, that would be impressively dumb.

Dominant? Luka graduated.

Dominated in his 1-3 record versus Kofi.

Kofi swatted him to end his junior season and absolutely abused him in the BTT tourney.

Your boy won best statline of the year.

He wasn’t even the 2nd best player on the court in games Iowa and Illinois matched up.

Since you cited Torvik, let’s bet on end of season Torvik rankings between Illinois with Kofi and Michigan.

Who told you Illinois would be rated higher going into the season?

 

[Archetype19]

Lol even with Kofi they aren’t a top 5 team. This will be yet another fail by your “insiders” though. Then you will try to say you never said Kofi was coming back.

Having all your posts to bump will be hilarious.

Illinois is 3rd on Torvik with Kofi on the roster FYI. But keep doubling down on your awful takes.

Lol IU was like top 15 entering last year on Torvik.

It also doesn’t matter as he is going to UK.

I thought he was staying in the draft?

You just said we aren’t top 5 even if he comes back…

And the difference between us and IU is we were a 1 seed last year.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

I thought he was staying in the draft?

I thought he was pulling out of the draft and going back to Illinois?

Congrats, I guess.

Only one of those things is still possible.

You aren’t top 5. Preseason rankings don’t make you a top 5 team.

You were a 1 seed with two All Americans. You lost 3 of your top 7 and likely are about to lose a 4th.

 

[NC_Trojan10]

Only one of those things is still possible.

I guess we will see. It will be a rough day for Illinois fans if he chooses to go to UK as expected.

You are a moron. We lost Ayo, Giorgi, and Miller. Miller and Giorgi have both been replaced by better players.

Your takes are getting real stale at this point.

I thought he was pulling out of the draft and going back to Illinois?

We literally have the posts, go back and read them.

The fact that you can’t remember what my actual take was isn’t surprising given how much you over exaggerate shit.

You do not have better replacements than Miller and Giorgi, and you have no one close to Ayo.

You said Kofi was leaving the draft to return to Illinois. He left the draft to enter the Transfer portal and likely end up at UK.

Plummer averaged 14 ppg at Utah last year and is 40+ % from 3. Upgrade from Miller.

Giorgi was 5 ppg in 15 minutes and was a liability on D. Omar Payne won’t score a ton, but will be an upgrade defensively.

Ayo we are replacing by committee. Although Austin Hutcherson has be an extremely good player, who didn’t play last due to a back injury. Before his injury NBA scouts liked him more than even Ayo.

Kofi is most likely back. These upcoming years are gonna be tough for you as long as we have Underwood.

Maybe do some research before opening replying next time.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

It doesn’t rate everyone. Michigan will be higher ranked

 

[Jaycg15]

Dominant? Luka graduated.

Luka’s last Big Ten game ever

Luka 8-18, 21 pts L
Kofi 11-17 26 pts W by 12 points

Lol telling me to do research when it’s clear you didn’t do it yourself.

Plummer did not shoot 40% last year, he shot 38%. He was also the worst defender on Utah’s team. You are delusional if you don’t think Miller would have been better in his sophomore year than Plummer will be this year for Illinois.

The alphabet doesn’t have a replacement. Payne is Kofi’s replacement. Regardless, Payne is at best a wash for the Alphabet, because Payne is trash offensively.

Hutcherson can’t hold Ayo’s jock lol. Delusional.

No one is scared of Underwood. Maybe make a Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005 before talking sh*t.

Illinois with Kofi will be ranked higher on Torvik.
