He was benched behind two freshman this game. Don’t get me wrong it was well deserved. I believe Curbello is from NJ and we have some minutes available for sure. Just a thought.
Does Curbello hit the portal?
- Thread starter Arizona Knight
- Start date
He can't shoot and plays out of control.
Hes a poor man's JY
Hes a poor man's JY
But can he inbound the ball?
Actually sounds like the actual JY.
He is a turnover machine that cannot shoot. Great dribbler.
What’s the phase? All hat and no cattle

No but he's probably quick enough to get open by himself
Don’t want him. Not a pike type of player anyways. No d and too many turnovers.
Illinois got beat up at the guard position by Houston......Houston ran high screen and roll and Frazier. Curbelo and Plummer just never got over screens to prevent the easy looks for Shead...(6'4" 210).
On the Curbelo situation, he was part of assistant coach Orlando Antigua and his connection to Illinois....when Antigua left for Kentucky, it was thought Curbelo would transfer back towards NYC (St John's was rumored to be an option). I think he sticks with Illinois, Plummer and Frazier depart.

I like hawkins a lot. Needs to work on his shot a little but love the size and athlete he is
I would have jumped at Curbelo last year. No way do I want him now. My remote would be lodged deep inside my TV screen during his first game here.
A few people picked Curbello as a second team All American before the season. I have never liked his game. He dribbles way too much. turns it over too much and often shoots way too much as well. I would pass on him. I would take Hawkins as he played with Mag in California and Coach wanted him for a long time.
Would get an ulcer watching Curbelo.
Yes he does. Loads of ability. Does not seem to have the head…especially at PG. Underwood will be bald after two more years of him….or he’ll have to use an even brighter orange hair dye.
if he is the best available in the portal... then the portal ain't what I thought it was....
he's a great 7th man...

No way I want to see Curbello here. Totally out of control. I’d get an ulcer and smash my TV.
Why do people think Hawkins will transfer? Seems to me he would be one of the main guys for the Illini next year.
I hope we can do better than curbello. He would be the most hated player on this board if he came here.
Need a replacement for geo as the guy having the coolest hair on the team
