Good point ! It’s just that Curbelo has put a taint , legit or not , on having a back court of 2 Illini guards . I know nothing about Epps but , we all know Curbelo .From
what I see, Curbello would be a bad fit anywhere. I wouldn’t put that on Illinois players in general.
You should write movie scripts Larry, maybe Twilight Zone-esque?A conspiracy theorist might say these stories are getting leaked and players asked to leave to win Anderson arbitration.
I am not a conspiracy theorist.How would that impact arbitration? If the kids were good and redeemable then it would strengthen the argument that Anderson was the problem, no?
I am not a conspiracy theorist.
But no, all these thing about culture and off court stuff particularly the Wusu thing.
Hopefully UNC before Timberlake makes his decisionLots of smoke that Justin Moore may be hitting the portal and that two ACC schools are currently locked in a bidding war for him
I think Timberlake has committed to UNC.Hopefully UNC before Timberlake makes his decision
Player to be named later in Curbelo deal.Bad luck with Illinois players
Man you got that right.
I think Timberlake has committed to UNC.
Ismael Massoud from K State in the Portal....Could he come home? Hit alot of big shots at Garden last week
Who’s to say one or more portal kids will or will not be back in red? Need to stay open minded during this time of significant St John’s basketball change - much of which we fans clamored for!!!Really sorry to see Posh and Wusu go; I wish they could have finished their senior year here. And with Storr and King leaving too, we have no backcourt, except for Curbelo. Maybe CRP will use Curbelo as a high energy 6th man like his freshman year at Illinois.
Well written. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!The Bottom line of all this is only a few , if any posters here really knew what went on in the CMA locker room or Classroom. Pitino stated there were problems in both Areas . And , why he only mentioned Soriano and Traore as Players he choose to return . We don’t know who among the remaining players he wanted to keep snd what he expected from them . It just seems to me , that Pitino felt the talent level was not able to quickly compete for a BE Title and ultimately a NCAA Championship . He’s got his hooks into a number of top tier Portal players and you can bet he will land more than a few . At least , we now know we have a good chance to become a Winning Program again . Rick isn’t fooling around . He’s on a limited Clock and knows it .
