Dick Allen 1,868 Report post Posted July 23 IDK, having some guy live with someone to make sure he did his work doesn't seem like too big of a deal. At least they weren't paying players or it would have been like the early 80's Iowa State football team. The worst team money could buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it's early but they looked like shit last night. Still waiting for this 7 second shot clock offense. When Ayo/Trent/insert guard actually moved the ball and got up a shot, or got the ball inside fast, good things happened. But too often they reverted to the shitty Groce offense of passing around the perimeter for 25 seconds and then jacking up a contested shot. Ayo looks like a lottery pick only in transition. He's pretty terrible at creating his own shot. Still not sure why he's even being considered as a 1st rounder at this point. Giorgi is really struggling defensively. And the fouling is still an issue. Trent is too passive, much like a large portion of last year Still get a few decent minutes from Kipper and then he's gone for a half at a time. Feliz is who he is - an undersized mid major guy who can make some old-man plays occasionally. He can't do it consistently. Everyone else is bleh. Still no sure why Williams is on scholarship. He's not even in the rotation much anymore. The coaches son seems to play more than he does. The only positive so far is that Kofi is every bit as advertised. He's a monster. Hopefully he can develop a shot, but for the next few years he can just be a big bruiser. Edited November 20 by Jenksismyhero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he's the old school bruising-center and the NBA is looking for stretch 5's these days, but he's a 3/4 Shaq basically. Wouldn't you want that on an NBA team? If he keeps this up, i'd be shocked if he lasts more than two seasons at Illinois. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe that changes with how he's performing, but I don't think he's leaving unless he's a first rounder and guys like him are just hard to place in today's NBA.

You should still be excited. His original timeline was January and decided to commit earlier than that.

Jenksismyhero 35 Report post Posted November 22 I just don't get the "i'm 100% committed, but I'm not going to sign...oh and also I spoke to Michigan a few days ago and i'm going to make sure Illinois is still for me." Is this all just leverage to get Michigan (or another new suitor) to come up with some dough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
