ZZZips Posted April 25, 2024 Report Posted April 25, 2024 Why is Pat Mayfield on this chart if it is supposed to be current? Quote

Mahaffey is the only guaranteed redshirt IMO. You can't redshirt Young and risk him leaving without any production in the Akron uniform. Brisco was previously a guaranteed redshirt candidate, but there's a chance he gets minutes with Okonkwo & Lyles. I don't know if MMK is as much of a 4/5 as Brisco seems to be. Quote

And even if he doesn't play "ahead of" Tavari (at least at first), he'll still get significant playing time. This team only has 2 true PGs - Tavari & Young. Wilson is more of an off the ball guard that can slot into PG in a pinch. Quote
Illini Zip Posted April 29, 2024 Report Posted April 29, 2024 Ryan Prather Jr departs. Zips add Bowen Hardman. Note: Prather was the sole Sophomore on the team going into 2024-25. Now we have Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen only. In 2025-26 we have Seniors and Sophomores. 2026-27 Juniors only. 2027-28 Seniors only. I think it's safe to assume that this class balance will likely change again next year. 1 4 Quote
Illini Zip Posted October 18, 2024 Report Posted October 18, 2024 (edited) Zips add Tai'Ree Perkins and Josh Henderson. Edited October 18, 2024 by Illini Zip 1 4 Quote
Zippy87 Posted February 28 Report Posted February 28 Does anyone know if Okonkwo can return or if Harris can get an additional year of eligibility? Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Sounds like Scott and Okonkwo will be back next year, should they choose to be. Barring any transfers, we would have no scholarships left. Quote

Illini Zip Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 If we have any scholarships available I would seek to pick up a big bodied guard to replace the role of Gray and Wilson. Quote

Zippy87 Posted March 5 Report Posted March 5 Assuming Okonkwo and Scott do return... Okonkwo/Lyles/Brisco Harris/MMK N. Johnson/Mahaffey Scott/Hardman T. Johnson/Young Could see Mahaffey and Brisco as possible transfers? I have to think JG would want one more guard to add to the mix. Quote

We have not heard anything about Brisco yet, but Groce likes Mahaffey. He’s a tall, long guard who will be playing some next year. 2 Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 @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. 1 Quote
Illini Zip Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 (edited) Zips add Evan Mahaffey. Edited March 28 by Illini Zip 2 3 Quote
