[KenoshaJay]

Kalkbrenner, Ashworth, Neal - it has been a great season.

Thanks!

GO JAYS!!!

Women were never really in it tonight, apparently. Two Bluejay eras came to an end a few minutes and about a 1000 miles apart. Much sadness.

Got down 22-10 early. Got back to a 2 point deficit a few times but Illinois always responded after that.

NIL and the transfer portal robbed us of 2 more years with a core that took us to the elite 8. That was probably the peak of the program, all downhill from here. Don’t think we have the money to pay 3+ million a year for a team.

I’m not an insider and won’t claim to be, all I will say is this. One of the jaybackers that I do have a close relationship with indicates that number you pointed out is not far off where we will be yearly with NIL and rev share

If we’re competitive on that front, I’m very happy to hear that that’s the case. It just doesn’t feel like it looking at our recruiting classes since.

Auburn did a good job of bodying or sealing Kalk when somebody was driving the lane and neutralizing him defensively. Good coaching on their part. That's the danger of having a roster with only one above-average defender. Hopefully they can work in some more versatile players on the roster going forward.

Fitting end to King’s career at CU (I presume) with the dropped pass and turnover with the 9.5-point spread on the line.

Going to be a very interesting offseason.

Privately there are rumblings that if the 5th year gets approved universally that Jamiya and Ash would have interest in coming back, would make more here than in an overseas deal.

Think we have a good core to build off of with Fedor, McAndrew, Green.

Does pop stay?

For sure need a 1 and 5 and depth pieces

Huh? Ash has already played 5 seasons and will turn 25 in less than a month and a half.

You mean the ones that brought us two of our highest rated recruits ever? And brought in high impact transfers?

Damn now what do I do for 7 months. One thing January and February prove to me, my golf game sucks! Proud to be a Jay's fan. Compare to other programs, The run we've had the last 25 years has been incredible! I'm proud to be a graduate, I'm proud to be a fan, and I'm proud the way Mac and his staff run the program. Is it perfect probably not is it damn good you bet it is. Go Jays

It is crazy how quickly people forget Mac’s track record with getting recruits and good transfers. (Damien Jefferson, Marcus Foster, Steven Ashworth, Jamiya Neal)

And he's pretty decent at developing talent as well.
