Weren’t they seniors? That interview was odd. He was talking about family atmosphere and how 14 of the 16 loved the family atmosphere of team yet 5 transferring.

Interesting. Do players get an extra year because of how the past season+ has been affected by COVID? They’re both Seniors now, yes?

Maybe with Covid you get an extra year. Ahale was really bad second half. Getting Diggins back is huge.

Because of Covid, student athletes in fall-winter sports get an extra year of eligibility and an extra year in which to complete it.

Looks like Bridges is reuniting with McClain at Georgia

Good for him to find a nice landing spot but what an odd situation all around. Lost his starting job. Playing time was up and down all year. Announces transfer and gets an offer from an SEC school.
Not sure of the impact he will have there but if it is significant that would seem to be a bad look for our coaching staff.

Bridges: huge loss in my opinion. Obviously, when he was not starting in the second half of the season, something had to be up. Not sure if Braelen and Coach Yak had differing philosophies or what?
We do not get an overabundance of 6'9" bigs, it's too bad it could not have worked out.
I am cautiously optimistic on Jace Carter - I'm hoping at least a rotation player next year as a freshman

I agree Bridges is a big loss. One of the best post players we’ve had at UIC on offense. It always seemed like maybe conditioning was a factor for him. He never seemed to be on the floor enough. Georgia is a nice move for him...gets to reunite with McClain.
To the point about Jace Carter. His resume is incredible...I am optimistic as well. We need some production coming in. I just hope he’s not a leg injury waiting to happen. I’ve watched some highlights of his and he lands very awkwardly at times.

Bridges was their most effective scorer and best big and is now going to the SEC unreal. Why he was off the bench all year was absolutely baffling. Is Jace a PG or off guard? This team looks really small next year. Do we know if Diggins or Ahale are back yet?

I haven't heard any official word on Diggins or Ahale and nothing in regards to any players transferring in. Pretty quiet and a lot of question marks.
