Did the dead period end so things should start flying here?

Really need this guy to have a breakthough year if this team wants to make a jump. He and Asuma are the wild cards at this point. Need them both to boom rather than bust.

I think this kid took his visit last night to NEB and still hasn't committed so at least there's still life.

Ben has no chance of beating Hoiberg in a transfer battle and it's brutal.

This is exactly right - The Ben Johnson era is just bland right now. No energy, no NIL, woe is us, lotta frustration from the fan base (Of the fans that still actually follow the program)

So......is it confirmed???

I do see 247 shows committed to MN but not sure if it's an error or not. Any confirmation elsewhere?

Top 2 guys on my short list: Henderson from SDSU Medved

If he's not ours, I really do like the Iowa St. fit for Payne. Although I really like the Iowa St. fit for a lot of guys that play hard. That program has a culture: tough, hard-nosed, will not be outworked. They're only going to get better as they more talent in there.

This is exactly right. There's no reason to feel bad for yourself. Embrace the portal. It's the way it is. I'm OK with it. I do like this comment from Ben here.

Take him - You need 5. Take him ASAP. I really want to beat NEB for Morgan as well. Morgan and this kid is a decent start.

The Dutcher miss hurts bad at this point. He wanted to come here, had a clause in his contract, and we didn't hit it. Then he went to a Final 4 and a sweet 16. OOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFF I hate to make this comparison, but Dutcher seems kinda like our Bo Ryan that we didn't hit on. They did.

I like this guy - Think he'll do well at OSU

Would definitely take him

Fair enough. Then maybe he needs more say on this team.

I agree - I think Medved has his way of doing things. Ben has his way. Maybe Thorson had more input there and less here - Or vice versa. I'm wondering if Ben is open to Thorson talking about what worked / didn't at CSU. He should be, if he's not. Seems like CSU has done OK without Thorson...

30-0 run....what? How are Illinois fans feeling right now? You've gotta consider it a great year but that's a tough way to go out.

I get your point but 2 weeks ago didn't Payne say he was excited about what this group could do next year? Mitchell will be coming back though clearly it appears.

I'd think Betts should contribute next year and hopefully surprise us a little bit. He was a decent recruit and has good size. Seems like he is supposed to be able to shoot a little bit too. There's definitely talent with the current guys still on this roster. Can they get coached up? Have...

Unreal, it really is amazing
