Rule is that a player can’t play for two different teams in the same season. He is a redshirt freshman. He burned a year at Baylor this season by appearing in regular season games, so he will have three years left for whatever team he ends up with.

Illinois could be missing 4-5 players tomorrow. Kofi, of course, but Curbelo had a mild concussion in last exhibition. Trent Frazier and Austin Hutcherson have minor injuries that may keep them out. Game time decision. Kofi, Curbelo and Frazier are the three best players on the team. Could...

Could definitely happen. Midmajors upset good teams sometimes. The biggest obstacle to overcome for these players is adjusting to the grind of 20 games against Big Ten defenses. With so many good big men, the defenses can pressure out more than they are used to at the midmajor level. They...

Northwestern has six of their top seven players back from a team that won 6 games in the league last year. Veteran team with some talent. Hard to see Minnesota winning 6 games in the league this year. Shooting the ball at a decent clip in lesser leagues is not the same as doing it against Big...

I know I’m an Illinois fan, but Illinois is vastly underrated. Best center (Kofi) and point guard (Curbelo) in the league surrounded by quality shooters and experience. Trent Frazier will be a five year starter and will finish in the top 5 all time in scoring. Damonte Williams led the BT in 3...

Illinois has two 4-Star guards (Epps and Harris) committed and are close on a couple of others. Last year’s class was three 4-stars (Melendez, Podziemski and Goode). Northwestern just got a really good four star guard. Nebraska is bringing in a 5-star wing this year. Overall, the Big Ten is...

Illinois has the best center and the best point guard in the league. Kofi was an all American last season. Curbelo is an amazing talent. Trent Frazier is a four year starter. Damonte Williams (shot over 50% from three) and Jacob Grandison started more than 16 games for a one-seed last...

Coaches have known about Schutt for several years. No special evaluation needed. Heck, he made 17 threes in a single game as a sophomore. Michigan State has been on him for a long time and he has made three visits to their campus. He is a priority recruit for Illinois, too. Duke offered...

Illinois is living rent free in Dickinson’s head. Lol Beat Michigan by 24 at Michigan with Ayo out and Dickinson was a non factor. Kofi punked him.

Really? That’s all you’ve got? Illinois hasn’t had a violation in over 30 years and 5 coaches ago. Dear lord, you had a Pitino. Lol

Illinois is heavily involved.

Schools cannot pay for anything on a recruit’s unofficial. No tickets, food, lodging, transportation, etc. Only on officials.

There are a lot of established talented rosters in the Big Ten. I will be surprised if you are right. Tough to win in the BT without established proven BT talent and coaching.

Good luck. Minnesota can beat Illinois at home but no team has “rained down threes” on them this year. Frazier, Ayo, Miller, Williams are tough defenders on the perimeter and they can extend defense to three point line with Kofi backstopping around the hoop. If Illinois doesn’t play well for...

go Big Ten. I only have trouble rooting for Iowa in this event, but I will if it means winning the challenge. :)
