Michigan scheduled to wait and hope for other players to enter the portal.

maybe Dawson Garcia cured his home-sickness and will come to Michigan.

Obviously a lot of rumors about Epps since last night with the Slater tweet, etc. but lets make it a goal this year to try to post tweets from as many real-ish accounts as possible.

That Epps tweet isn’t from one.

James…eat, sleep, sports, repeat!! That’s as real as it gets.

Ok let’s try this one!

There is just a lot of buzz on the interwebs around Epps to Georgetown

Man Epps is leaving? What is Illinois doing? Point Rodgers?

Point Tyger??? :rofl:

It’s crazy how many rosters the internet will tell you Justin Moore is on right now too. And not the one he’s actually on right now.

Feels like a good Big Ten fit.

Oh man. Tyger would make too much sense at Illinois. I hope that doesn’t happen

Just because they potentially won’t have a PG?

No PG. From Big Ten country. Grew up in Iowa, played HS in Indiana. Originally committed to DePaul.

I don’t know what kind of NIL dollars Illinois is throwing out though. Obviously the only reason you leave UCLA is for a major pay increase.

Yeah, I get the geography but I just think the idea of fitting in Illinois is funny at this point because this is going to likely be the 2nd year of a clean reboot.

They’ve literally changed their base offense midseason multiple times in the last few years.

If Illinois gets Tyger I’m done with CBB. we’re playing different games if they can reload like that every year and we’re stuck with a gaggle of useless players. or juwan is simply the worst college GM ever cause he’s too nice and always gets second in recruitments

Isn’t he too likable?

I think there’s at least a decent chance he’s chasing kids that if he were more plugged in he would know he shouldn’t bother. Or heck, doubt he’s not a confident guy. Maybe Saddi and Phil are in his ear and he doesn’t listen anyway.

It’s an adjustment period going from the NBA to this, so that’s to be expected. Doubly hard to do it when NlL, the portal and Covid years have rewired the whole thing. Triply so doing it at Michigan and adjusting to the school’s uncommon approach to two of three of these changes.

For sure. That’s kind of what I was trying to say in the reference to always finishing second. He gets us in recruitments but just doesn’t have the plugs to get all the way/realize who is plugged where.
