Wow that’s incredibly low, yeah. The Vinnie Johnson role definitely played a part, but that’s also the skill set. He’s a possession finisher not a facilitator, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in a ball screen action. His attempts tend to be of the variety where he gets into the paint and drops a dime at the last moment.
Has this been discussed here? Foster Loyer in transfer portal.

Yes, someone on RCMB said, “Bates reclassifying.” We’ll see but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for him to ever play at State.

Crud. Just an absolute perfect transfer portal for MSU 
no fun at all. Izzo did a good job convincing those guys to leave

yeah it sucks and I wish we could go back to late January when Izzo was completely washed. or better yet I wish Loyer never hurt his shoulder. it’s insane but possible that none of these moves happen if Loyer keeps starting and playing 20 a night.

so theres been this ej lidell isnt happy at osu because they dont have a true 5 and then this happened last night…
He was at illinois’ spring game last night hanging out with curbelo
That sure would be a big reversal of fortune for Illinois, and sure would suck for OSU. I think I like it.

Indiana’s had a good offseason and I don’t like it

He was so so bad for the last part of the season last year so i’m intrigued. He should probably only take 3s
Who is the true 5 on Illinois? Omar Payne?

I know this is purely for non-scientific value but I still got a laugh out of Miller Kopp’s addition making IU worse on Torvik.

I sort of forgot how many of their players are still just rather bad. They should make the tournament with their new depth but I think the ceiling comes down to Xavier Johnson.
I guess Indiana has lots of vets now but I’m not sure it means much if most of those vets didn’t perform up to this point. A lot depends on Lander taking making a sophomore leap now that he isn’t an underaged freshman.
Woodson looked at the roster and was like “did Archie recruit ANY shooters?”

Yeah I think Woodson’s done a really nice job all things considered, but I also think Indiana fans are getting way too excited about bringing back a team that mostly is the same after a 12-15 year.
They’ve lost Durham and Franklin and are replacing them with Johnson, Stewart, Kopp and Bates. That does add a good amount of shooting that they’ve needed, but no one there stands out. Still seems like it’s TJD and a bunch of above average at best pieces around him. Does seem like they should be a tourney team at this point though.

If Kofi goes pro I’d take that move every day in a heart beat. Brings both OSU and Illinois into the bottom half of the top 25 range IMO, and would also be hilarious to see happen.
This seems like one of the most optimistic of all the Illinois rumors so far though.
