The Washington kid is fine, but second-tier if you miss on Hardy/Powell.
His 2nd choice when picking Creighton was Illinois. So if Orlando truly is coming back, that's something to watch.
Illinois is now also getting crystal ball picks for that Wisconsin shooter (Podziemski). I don't think the timing of that is coincidental, with Powell in the portal and leaning blue.
Echoing SAE on just wanting OSCAR to come in and rip souls next season. Collins appears to have Jackson's athleticism with a bit more defensive awareness. Sarr didn't want to rip out anyone's heart, and Jackson wanted to, but usually committed three fouls in the process.
All I know is, I want these dominos to start falling ASAP. Get back to Lexington, get some straightforward answers, and find out who's hitting the bricks. Then go get upgrades. Including on the staff.
