Illinois is a powerful university, even if it doesn't seem like it athletically. Quite a few advantages over universities who think they're on the same level.
Both portal and high school recruiting KINGS!!!! No stopping the ILLINI, watch out not only big ten, but also all you national blue bloods better lookout and make room for a new future blue blood!!!!
A potentially versatile and very dangerous team that hasnt accumulated this much talent since ,i know blasphemy, 1988-90 ,guys can play multiple positions this could be building to the rise of this program to the heights where many believe it belongs, we shall see

Forget? I think everyone is bubbling with excitement to watch the games. With so many new players, there's going to be growing pains, but it's will hopefully be fun watching them grow together.
There’s only 1 basketball.. too much talent sometimes don’t mesh well.. hopefully it’ll work out..
KP and Riley seem to overlap

KP is a point that can play a 2. Riley is a wing.

KP is not a PG. Boswell is the PG. Riley/KP are both 2/3s
My concern about him is - He's too selfish. He wants to play for his stats not for the team.

I've seen him play in person @Phelps and this summer @EYBL!! He is NOT a ball hog; he plays for the team, not his stats! Anytime there highlites of a player, ANY player, they will show his buckets. After seeing Will play, he is unselfish; makes great passes to his teammates!!
NO more C.Hawkins coverage please..
Talented kid. Does he ever pass the ball ?

If he drops threes from NBA range consistently, does he need to?
