@IllinoisBball5 How do we know Duke is out of it?

#illini With Duke out of the conversation for Blackwell, it has come down to 2-3 schools left interested. Illinois, UCLA, and Louisville making a push. Illinois- still in the lead and the best scenario for Blackwell. He wants to be on a championship contending team which we are and will be, he would get a lot of NIL, and he would be the primary ball handler with a lot of minutes. UCLA- Dont see them being a championship contender this year especially under Cronin. California taxes are crazy and will lose probably half of his earnings. Would probably get a lot of minutes Louisville- I’d say they are a championship contender this year with their roster so far. They just got the point guard from Oregon so minutes could be restricted some and they got a lot of NIL. Is PK a good coach or is he just going after the top transfers and hope they will be good? Illinois is clearly the choice I would make if I was Blackwell. On top of everything that was said he also has that family connection that can play a part in where he will end up

I opened my phone to see this and moaned so loud

#Illini Brad Underwood says conversations with Andrej Stojakovic have been 'really positive.' "His experience here was a positive one... He impacted the game on both ends and I'm excited about that."

secret’s out

@Polymarket Well that settles it!

JUST IN: Trump announces he is "permanently opening" the Strait of Hormuz.

@ClayTravis It’s because we can all tell she was his handler whether he knew it or not dumby

Erika Kirk’s treatment is one of the most shameful things I have seen in the social media era. Her husband was murdered seven months ago. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a widow attacked like she has been. It’s truly indefensible.

@ABmrJutt Killing someone doesn’t count as being responsible

I know this is gonna ruffle a lot of feathers, but having an abortion when you're not ready for children is one of the most responsible, least cruel choices you can make.

@ericswalwell You should update your bio too you loser

I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

@TimGriffin02061 @jeffborzello @Recruit2Illini @excelsm The Underwood’s will turn him into a 1st round pick 🤌🏻

@_jbird4 @jeffborzello @Recruit2Illini @excelsm He’s going to drive you crazy. If he isn’t hitting shots, he’s a liability on the court.

NEWS: Providence transfer Stefan Vaaks has committed to Illinois, his agents at Excel Sports Management told ESPN. Top-10 player in the portal. Estonia native averaged 15.8 points and 3.2 assists and scored 20-plus points against St. John's (twice), Villanova (twice) and UConn.

@hoijim I’m trying not to overreact but I think he’s the best

It's hard for me to rank my favorite or most impactful Illini players because I'm so biased to the 3 and 4-year players. But I just enjoyed everything about Keaton Wagler this season. I don't know his parents--but Wow, they raised an impressive young man and an Illini legend.

@Ashhleyyyya Diet Mountain Dew

I dare you to mention a 10/10 non alcoholic drink

@rst100iclicker What is an iCard?

Bro enrolled, came overseas, got his iCard, made it to the final four, and entered the portal #ILL #electric #builtdifferent #speedrun

@lady_valor_07 Not in Illinois

Even if an intruder is unarmed, should you still be allowed to shoot them for breaking into your house?..

@JamieBonkiewicz It’s a ceremonial position these days buddy

Anybody the least little bit curious why Marco Rubio, the actual fucking United States Secretary of State, is at a UFC fight tonight instead of being involved in Iran cease-fire talks? Or is it just me?

@Ecnerwal23 Yep. People that don’t like it can kick rocks. Just like everything else, the market is that way due to the demand.

They can ask for whatever they want, these coaches can always just say no. The market is what it is because the NCAA didn’t/doesn’t want to make them employees Get all the money

If you thought Starlin Castro was gonna get to 3,000 hits when you were a kid, then this account is for you

@GoodmanHoops Ask for a mil from a high major settle for 200k from a mid major seems like a good business plan to me

One high-major head coach to me: “This has become a joke. We got guys who averaged 3 points a game asking for a million dollars. It’s completely out of control.”

@YahooSports @ShamsCharania

Illinois freshman Keaton Wagler has declared for the 2026 NBA draft, per @ShamsCharania. Wagler averaged 17.9 PTS, 5.1 REB and 4.2 AST to lead the Fighting Illini to the Final Four.

@DrHoodieMaddog Yep it sure looks that way pal

Am I the only Illinois fan who absolutely does not want John Blackwell to come here?
