Georgi from Illinois going pro

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Giorgi hadn’t seen his mom in two years. Headed back to Europe.

Kofi likely stays. He is not expected to be drafted. Style of NBA is so different now. 20 years ago he’s a lottery pick. Right now not in top 60.

Frazier is announcing today that he is returning for his fifth year.

Illinois got Omar Payne from Florida in the portal to replace Giorgi. Number one in the country in pick and roll situations last season and he gets to play with Curbelo now.

Austin Hutcherson is the best shooter and athlete on the team according to coaches and players. Missed this season with injury. 6-6 guard with 42 inch vertical.

Austin Miller met with Underwood over the weekend. He wants to come back. We will see.

Expect a big jump from Coleman Hawkins with added strength.

3 4-star recruits coming in.

Shoukd still be pretty good. Hard to replace Ayo, of course, but Illinois did beat Michigan by 23 without him so there’s hope.

ugh

Austin is 100% healthy and will surprise some teams.

I was wrong on Miller. He wants to stay but his mom is forcing him to leave. She was a pain in the coaching staff’s butt all year. Kid started every game for a one seed but mom wanted him to handle the ball as much as Ayo and Curbelo. Yikes.

Illinois will take Plummer from Utah as a replacement. Senior from Puerto Rico who is friends with Curbelo. Made 11 threes in one game this season against an Elite 8 team. It’s a Pac12 record.

Too bad. I like Miller but he not irreplaceable.

Kofi will put his name in the draft this week and go through the evaluations. Not listed in the top 60 currently.
