Happy Thursday, Illini Nation!
It’s been a minute since I’ve talked about Illinois basketball. The absence is partly due to the fact that the season ended so poorly with a resounding thud, and mostly due to the fact that rumor and innuendo are nearly impossible to analyze.
Separating fact from fiction remains difficult. Now, don’t get it twisted. I don’t have a bevy of insider knowledge about the new faces arriving this summer at Ubben, joining Brad Underwood for Year 7 in quest of his first second weekend in the Big Dance.
Enough of the churn materialized this week to provide insight, as we sit in mid-April.
