I wonder if the staff saw enough from Brisco to trust him with Okonkwo, Lyles, and MMK in the front court. He was 6'8" 230 lbs coming in and has spent the past year developing in a top tier mid major program with one of the best post player developers in Dustin Ford.

Absolute menace defensively.

Whoa.

Amazing. They love mediocrity over there 😂

The no-escalation on the blatant flagrant that was an exact copy of what was just called against them was disturbing.

Correct but he still counts towards the roster limit of 15.

That we'll only have one Portal addition this year after there was speculation that Connor Groce would transfer for playing time at a smaller school, which would've opened up an additional roster spot for possibly 2 Portal additions.

Zona is probably a top 4-8 team in this tourney that ended up as a 4 seed thanks to a very slow start to the season. Just our luck.

Arizona giving Duke all they can handle. Go Zona!

If I'm not mistaken, that means we'll only have one roster spot open this transfer portal cycle.

@Illini Zip Can you please update the scholarship chart to remove Josiah Harris and add Scott & Okonkwo for 2025-26? Connor Groce confirmed tonight he is coming back, so we'll only have one roster spot available this cycle.

Kent has multiple alumni that are currently either head coaches at lesser programs or experienced assistants ready for their first head coach title. Randal Holt - Assistant at Kent Jon Fleming - Assistant at Kent Jalen Avery - Assistant at Kent Eric Haut - Assistant at Utah State DeAndre Haynes - Assistant at Marquette Jordan Mincy - HC at Jacksonville If Kent does not hire any of these guys, their fan base will officially abandon their program.

It's a safe hire. 0 losing seasons, Guthrie knows it would be a promotion/raise, and Sendy grew up 40 minutes from Fordham.

No way does Kent scrape together enough to retain Sendy. The NIT was his job interview and he used it to perfection. He's going to get a big pay raise to go coach at a much better school 40 minutes from where he was born, in a much better conference.

See ya, loser!

He has been my guess for the Big Ten Big Man rumor since I saw him in the Portal. Not to mention he was teammates with Hardman and Eric Mahaffey's brother, Evan, for a year at Ohio State.

Sendy is from 44 minutes N/NW of Fordham. There are 2 specific jobs and 1 generic job I think he would leave for - Albany, Fordham, basketball P5. Albany isn't open, he isn't getting a call for a basketball P5, so Fordham is his escape rope. He knows Kent is the athletics version of the Titanic, hence his comments after that first Akron game. 2 NCAA Tourney appearances and 1 NIT appearance in 14 years after Kent had 5 NCAA Tourney appearances and 6 NIT appearances from 1999-2011. Regardless of where Sendy is coaching next season, we need to thank him for restoring mediocrity to PCCC.

Absolutely, but Izzo is one of the few figureheads in the sport that could affect change should he wish to play his cards in such a way. Until he does, they're just empty words.

According to their website, their collective was established in 2022. So it isn't new, it's just very poorly supported.

I think what you're looking for just got added this morning. Incredible timing.

Not difficult for him to say because in his back pocket is an unlimited amount of blank checks he can write to any player he needs.
