This is the same twitter account that said Jordan Riley was a done deal. Pay no mind.Windy City Johnny Fan post=436191 said:
Who knows if true. But we would want him to wipe the boards and start the transition to easy baskets.
He says NBA scouts told him he needs to work on his midrange game, whether scoring or playmaking. Hopefully he thinks CMA can help him.
I think his less than impressive performance against Loyola was due largely to a masterful game plan and defense by Loyola; no one on Illinois played well that day.

This guy is a clown. I wouldn’t take anything he says with any degree of confidence. He’s a troll who really gives the hashtag on Twitter a bad name.Windy City Johnny Fan post=436191 said:
He needs to go to a team that plays halfcourt. He's too big and slow for what we want to do defensively and offensively.mm52 post=436199 said:
I'm not going to complain if they want to give him the last ship for 1 year, but he's going to be very limited as to how he can help us.
As a comparison, I'd rather have Moussa Cisse every day, and twice on Sundays.
(a) He's not coming here
(b) It makes no sense and he is ill suited for the system
(c) The comments that "we don't want him/he can't help us" (a guy who was arguably one of the most dominant and best players in all of college ball last year as a freshman) are laughable

I know he's not coming . . . but I'm pretty sure the NBA feedback would have included something about him losing a bunch of weight/getting quicker. At a listed 285, he's not a fit. But at 250, he'd be a much better fit. And a guy who knows he'd be playing in an uptempo system would have until November to get in that kind of shape.
I thought Illinois played pretty fast, and he was able to get up court quickly enough. He was gassed against Loyola, but did he end every other Illinois game gassed? I'm sure he can get back to his own end fast enough if guys like Posh are harassing early enough.
I know it's not true, but I personally wish it was. I think tweaks rather than an entire overhaul would work.

(a) I agree. Kentucky following Antigua would be my guess.redmanwest post=436207 said:
(b) Soriano doesn't exactly fit either but we were all over him (I know we needed height). And despite the block shot seen somewhere here ([URL]https://www.lohud.com/story/sports/high-school/lohud-varsity-insider/2018/03/11/boys-basketball-stepinac-lands-atop-chsaa-first-time-since-1960/412321002/[/URL]]Stepinac basketball earns first CHSAA 'AA' city title since 1960 (lohud.com)[/url]). I don't want to disparage Soriano (who I think will help us) but if I had to chose, I would take Cockburn.
(c) I agree. We are not so good that we can laugh off and tell a second team All American "thanks but not thanks" when we have an open ship and the current center penciled in is should be a nice player but he is no Kofi (again despite the above link).
