Start Morgan and Nunn for Egwu and Bertrand.

 

I really dont get the love for Bertrand. He makes some athletic plays but he cant shoot, he cant drive, and hes just average on defense. Nunn is way better offensively and thats something this team desperately needs.

And right now, Nunn plays like he gives a s***.

Outside of Anthony Davis, I should clarify

 

 

But yeah, I really thought Blackshear would be a star. Kaminski has come alive. Boatright is productive...

 

I just remember following all of them from Blackshear at Curie to Shaw and Henley at my alma mater goin up against abrams and egwu to Kaminski and sobeleski beating simeon at uic...

This Illinois season is just depressing. They are slightly underachieving (mainly just the NW loss) and that is mostly on the defensive end lately but this roster is just really bad. That is what happens when you have no 2010 class, a 2011 class with only one good Big 10 player and no 2012 class. How nice would Fred Van Vleet look on this team? Weber took f***ing Michael Orris who averaged about 6 pts a game in high school over that guy. Thankfully they have 3 good players sitting out this year and Hill and Nunn look like players so next year's team will be good. Groce really needs to start giving Hill more minutes as he is probably the third best offensive player on the team already and the defense needs to get cleaned up. This team has almost no offensive talent but the defense shouldn't be as bad as its been the last couple weeks. Part of that is having a starting frontcourt that can't rebound at all but the rotations haven't been good and the pick and roll defense has been atrocious.

It hurts watching this team right now. Laziness, no shooting ability. Sometimes early departures and transfers just make a class irrelevant.

 

Guy on ESPNU suspects Ross may leave for the NBA when talking about Russell next year. I LoL'd.

He sure thinks he's going. He's a lazy f***. Loving is already better than him.

 

Next years class is going to be a nice reset.
