Goode graduated in 3 years at Illinois, then one year at IU. He is trying to get a 5th year, not a sixth. I don’t think Goode has a case. The 30% rule is injury at the beginning of a season. Goode was out then came back for the last third of the season. Hard to imagine that Garcia would...

Some noise for Medved. Probably just noise.

It’s been injury and illness. Jakucionis missed games with a forearm injury and struggled a bit with the “freshman wall.” Ivisic had mono and a sprained ankle and missed multiple games. Riley had the flu. Even today, Gibbs-Lawhorn and Tre White were recovering from the flu and barely played...

Also got the home court bump as Illinois star Jakucionis only played 9 minutes due to foul trouble. The Izzo factor. Illinois is a totally different team without him. Still only lost by 2. Look forward to MSU coming to Champaign.

Illinois played without lottery pick Jakucionis. They still didn’t play well, but he is such a big part of the team. He returned last night and they win by 25 at Indiana.

Crean was responsible for adding a verb to the English language. Other than that, he’d be a bad choice. IMO

Illinois still has Tennessee, Duke and Missouri on its nonconference schedule. The SOS will go up quite a bit after that.

I hope Illinois gets them in the tournament. Oh wait…it’s Georgetown. Epps was originally committed to Cooley at Providence, but Epps switched to Illinois. He had a good freshman year (9.5 ppg) but his handlers wanted him to be the focus of the offense on a team with Shannon. I’m sure they...

Illinois has one returning player and he hardly played last year. There is definitely a learning curve for the team. Last night, they struggled to shoot the ball and only won by 12. C. Tomislav Ivisic (Croatia), Morez Johnson ( Freshman) F. Ben Humrichous (Evansville), Carey Booth (Notre...

As always, attendance depends on the product on the court. Arenas are selling out all over the country.

I think Kasparas Jakucionis might be the guy for Illinois. In the latest mock draft I saw, he was the projected #6 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. 6-6 point guard. Hard to project when your team has 10 new players.

The 2025 recruiting class. So the next signing class which can sign next month. So not current rosters but everything going forward.

Yes. It was actually 15 back in the day. Then 13. Now 15 again.

With the increase of scholarships from 13 to 15, I think high recruits will be important as well as the portal. You can take a chance on a high school recruit who might develop when you have 2 extra scholarships.

I think Garcia will be on the list at the end of the year, but I think the overall list will look much different.

He’s a wing? Didn’t play any wing against Illinois. Good player, though.

Announcing this evening

Wagler committing in the next few days. Minnesota or Illinois.

I Illinois had no shot at Cam. The year before, Illinois fans had booed his brother when Michigan State came to town. The family mentioned it. Illinois was never in deep with Cam after that.
