Okani ACC? Wow I won't miss him a bit. No way he's an ACC type player. He was arguable one of the worst offensive players in the Valley

Drake gets 3 commitments today alone.
UIC must be taking their time.

SIU had a new coach and they’re making moves. Valpo coaches all tweeting out celebratory cryptic videos (no confirmed news). We have…no need again.
Maybe we will get some news tomorrow?

Dead silence on the UIC front.
SIU with a great pickup.
We don’t even have a starting 5.
We will add a ton of guys late that are fringe players because we need to, finish 12th, and rinse and repeat.

I hope the staff is just very good at keeping secrets, because I am shocked with how quiet it’s been on the recruiting front. It’s been like 2 weeks since we got a commitment. Do we even have more than 5 players?
Skobalj Brownell Carlos Harris (presumably) Ahmad Henderson Josh Reaves
Equally disturbing is that of all the names I’ve seen us linked to, not a single one wasn’t a guard. I’m not following super closely, but when I have looked, it’s guard, guard, guard.
A lot of teams are starting over this year. We need to recruit well enough to not be bottom 3.

And I feel like every single player we have been linked to - and it hasn’t been many - we are competing against low level schools.
Quite uninspired right now.

Welcome to the Frank Cuervo, Michael Lipitz show. Rob Eshan and staff didnt get job done at UAB and Stanford. Was literally fired frim Stanford sitting at home and he going to be out savior.
Stanford University foes not do undergraduate transfers. Not surprising robbie and staff are struggling. Dont have experience last 3 years in that role.
Just wait till the create their game schedule. Lot more of the Stonehill, Chicago State, Lake Forest College on schedule. Easy wins. We going to be 15-15 this year because we went 15-0 in non conference playing the worse d1 programs in the country. Then conference season starts and we be losing by 20 pts a game.
Cant play fast if you dont have players

And there’s a big. 6’9” F from Xavier, Sasa Ciani (from Slovenia), commits to UIC. He was a freshman last year and didn’t score much in about 13 mins/game. Hopefully he’ll be a bit more productive with us.

JB in the portal. Looks like Filip is the lone Yak era player remaining besides two of our walk ons.

Wow, talk about cleaning house. Complete rebuild! Not a bad thing given the results we had the past couple years. I feel bad for Filip…his last year and he doesn’t know a single person on the team. I hope he gets (and chooses) to stick around. Great student. Good rep of UIC…and just a solid contributor/shooter. Would be nice to see him finish his career here.
I wonder if Ciani coming in prompted Brownell to leave. Barring another big man signing, I imagine he’ll be the starting 5 with Filip at the 4. Brownell may not want to come off the bench again.

I get that players may be insecure when a new coach comes in, but do players not want to compete for their position/playing time? Nick Saban left coaching because he said players only have 2 questions anymore; how much PT will I get, and what will I get paid? Welcome to the new world of college sports everybody.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the new staff told all the returning players to kick rocks since they want to build their own roster
