It’s officially the offseason, here is where the roster currently stands. Expect to see some names populate the only empty table soon
Need a primary ball-handler, but if the splash is Blackwell we’ll figure it out
Let me be the first to say, #TheRetention is underway, again

@JWerner247 Hoping you do a story on Toni Bilic’ development by coming over mid season and if he’s being counted on for next season.

There's something wrong with that north rim at Lucas Oil Stadium, and I don't think they checked it out.

If Illinois gets this guy:
STARTERS
PG: Quentin Coleman
SG: John Blackwell
SF: Andrej Stojakovic
PF: David Mirkovic
C: Tomislav Ivisic
BENCH
Zvonimir Ivisic
Jake Davis
Tye Rogers
Brandon Lee???
Another transfer???
If that plays out that’s a top 5 team

BREAKING: Wisconsin guard John Blackwell plans to enter the transfer portal while going through the NBA draft process, he told ESPN. Blackwell, who averaged 19.1 points and earned All-Big Ten honors this past season, becomes the best guard in the portal.

@IlliniRant What about Toni Bilic who has been with the team for more than half this season?? Any video or review from his time practicing??

Spitballing roster construction with *ballpark* costs and minutes… what did I miss?
3 mil - Transfer/Veteran PG - 28 mpg
2 mil - Andrej Stojakovic - 30
500k - Jake Davis - 22
3 mil - David Mirkovic - 34
1.5 mil - Tomislav Ivisic - 24
500k - Zvonimir Ivisic - 16
500k - Ty Rodgers - 20
500k - Transfer PF - 10
1 mil - Quentin Coleman/Lucas Morillo - 16
Brown/Davis - Redshirt, fill depth roles in ‘27
Note: I think Brandon Lee and Mihailo are gone due to the staff prioritizing positional size… QC and Morillo will have better chances to play & I think staff will encourage those guys to take other opportunities

Dan Hurley, on interactions with officials Says social media can spur different perceptions of his way of coaching “It’s not easy to ref my games, and I’ve not gotten one technical foul in an NCAA Tournament game…Now I just jinxed myself. That could be a long walk…”

@JeffAgrest Thank you to CBS for covering the biggest State university as they pursue a memorable season that rivals 1989 and 2005!!!

CBS 2 will air an #Illini special at 6:30 pm Friday, "CBS Center Court: Road to the Championship." Ryan Baker & Jermont Terry will be live in Indianapolis. Matt Zahn will anchor from the studio.

Hoping Bruce Pearl and Jalen Rose have nothing to do with any studio show next year for NCAA tournament. Bring the CBS sports guys who cover college all year long.
