Is Zachary Halligan a walk on and I saw that he played a little in 23-24 but not last year. I saw that he is a local guy but curious why he did not play last year considering we had numerous blowouts. Quote

I saw that he is a local guy but curious why he did not play last year considering we had numerous blowouts. I’ll jump in just to say good question and I have no idea. I was wondering myself if he had made the court and I was just fixated on Evan Wilson. I do think the walk-on role as we have known it could die off while being replaced by a couple more managers and a few redshirt freshmen each year. Edited March 29 by Illini Zip Quote

Maintaining stability in the backcourt is key. Quote

Maintaining stability in the backcourt is key. Outside of Young, the others are still unknown. Mahaffey has reportedly shown promise in practice, but that's not the same as games. This coming season will be used to evaluate what we have and what we'll need to target in the portal. The more players that develop, the less we'll need to target. Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted April 18 Report Posted April 18 (edited) Eric Mahaffey has allegedly grown to 6'6". He's the same height as his brother now without the muscle build (yet). @Illini Zip Sorry you have to do more scholarship chart work than originally expected. Edited April 18 by Let'sGoZips94 2 Quote

I’m hoping to get away with just one more update. Let’s see what happens here in the next week. Quote
