Expand I can't imagine he's being cut unless that injury was a career-changing one. He was a starter before he got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought he was going to be one of our better players going into this past year. Now he’s leaving??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted Monday at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:43 PM I had high hopes for him. At one point, and I think CK can take credit for this, there was concern he might just be the next Maishe Dailey. The team did okay without him.. Maybe it's just best to let him find his home and fill the roster with a better-fitting piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkwgriswold Posted Monday at 10:01 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:01 PM The rumor has been percolating for at least a couple of weeks. I wish the kid well. I spoke to him at the re-season tip-ff reception and he seemed like a great kid. The door is now open for that big man to come through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72 Roo Posted Tuesday at 01:04 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:04 AM At the pre-season basketball event on campus in the student union Bowen and Josh spent a lot of time with me during the early cocktails portion of the night. They were both extraordinarily nice, positive and kind. No pampered jock attitude from either. I became a fan of both. I wish Josh had found a home here, but he is moving on. I wish him well and regret it didn't work out at UA regardless of the reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted Tuesday at 01:08 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:08 AM We have one scholarship open at the moment. Everything I've heard is it's being used on a Big Ten big man. No idea what our plan is once the scholarship limit goes up to 15 but here's an option - Eric's brother. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:54 PM (edited) Here's a video of Mahaffey OSI highlights. It demonstrates he's deadly from inside the restricted area. He'd be a nice add. Edited Tuesday at 11:54 PM by clarkwgriswold 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illini Zip Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 12:08 AM Evan Mahaffey has a lot of tools. Shooting from the outside is not one of them. He doesn’t even try that much. If he could make a fair amount of the wide open threes I am on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand It’s hard to run the offense we did this year if defenses can sag off of someone. He doesn’t need to shoot a high volume, just enough to keep teams honest. Just like Tribble his last year. Edit: That’s only if the plan is for him to play the wing. If he plays the 5 in small lineups then he should be completely fine.
