Is this the plan for Illinois? A d3 transfer manning the wing?
Him, DaMonte, Grandison, and the three freshman wings will play the 3. He will play 1-3. Worst case is he can shoot the ball. Whether he plays a bigger role is up in the air.
 
Holtmann is really good I think he’ll always have osu as top 20 team, I do wonder if he’ll ever be able to attract high level enough talent to make osu a true national title contender.

I believe his recruiting has been more than fine. He recruits much differently than Matta which many Osu fans are adjusting too. On paper everyone of his classes at Osu have been strong IMO.
 
Cockburn is a beast and Curbelo is crafty as hell, but that lineup doesnt scream top 3 or even really top 5 in the conference on paper. You Illinois fans are acting very homeboardish with this one in not demonstrating any objectiveness here
Cockburn, Curbelo, Frazier, Grandison, and Williams were all contributors on a 1 seed.

Torvik has us projected above Michigan, without even factoring in guy who will be starting.
 
I think Holtmann is an excellent coach. I just think he’s failed when he’s had the opportunity to take that next step. He’s going to be in the league for a long time, and I’m sure he will have his moments.

Failed in what way?

Just things like having losing skids in seasons where he has a chance to have an excellent season.

It’s like a scratch golfer. They’re really good, but they need to do more to take that next step.
 
Lets see. MSU historically likes 2 bigs. Its worked for them and Izzo. I feel Marble is going to be a low post scorer.
I think he totally could be a good low post scorer. But anything over 6 points a game or so would surprise me. I just don’t see m being a huge part of the offense.

I really hope you’re right though. It would be good news for us

Illinois with Kofi below 3 is not a quality post
No offense-MD already beat Kofi at home last season, and that was with AYO- just me, not scared facing them, like Michigan for example.

Illinois expecting a lot from Payne this season?

I think Payne could replicate Giorgis stats.
 
Lol that’s worse than Illini fans thinking Garcia and Kofi were coming
It’s an ego thing, man.

At first it was Kofi wasn’t coming back so it doesn’t matter. They’ve had to come terms with reality, so now we aren’t going to be good even with him.

Watching them squirm and pretend they didn’t say all this stuff when they are proved wrong again will be worth the wait.
 
Add another Purdue poster to the list of morons, @VulvHa still has the crown. The rest of you are all luckily playing for second.
It’s literally eveyone on this board that disagrees with your awful takes. Even other Illini fans think you are a moron.

That 5th place finish will be funnier.

So you’ll be better without Moresell?

Intelligent fans/analyst will have Illinois top 3.
 
Barring injuries, there is a 0% chance that happens.

I’d love an avatar bet on that, though.

I'll do an avatar bet on who finishers higher between MD and Illinois (if of course Kofi stays)

Just one rule-nothing inappropriate...

LOL you posted a bunch quotes of people saying Illinois isn’t that good even with Kofi coming back and now we are just saying the same thing. Wtf? 🥔

Losing him sucks, but I like this lineup:

1.Fatts
2.Ayala
3. Oonly question mark right now- could be one of the freshmen...
4.Scott
5.Q
