Ali LOOKS like those Missouri State wings that have been bullying us for the last 5 years. He's so strong, and pushes guys off of their spot.
I suspect Bryson Smith will be the PG we ink
Are we down to only one scholarship remaining?
Guys, this is huge.. Dibba is a STUD! Also, don't be surprised if he fills in at PG for stretches, although definitely not his true position. Thinking about potential rotations with this roster will be fun all summer/fall.
Also, don't discount Jaheem Webber as a starter. He's long, great wingspan, polished for an 18 year old, D1 ready body, and above-the-rim athletic. Only question is how quickly he gets acclimated to college ball.
As for the PG yet to be determined; I have a gut feeling we're gonna end up with another stud. We aimed high for Nash and this staff isn't done. They've assembled a roster ready to win now and I'd wager all my money they're going after a floor general with that exact intent/expectation.
--Insert something witty here--
Illinois basically didn’t have a PG this year. Maybe that’s what we’ll do!
SIU has Moreno's weight wrong in their press release. He doesn't weigh 280! He is more like 240-250.

Speaking of him...when the portal scoop tweeted out the other day we were interested in him I replied " would love for you to join the Dawgs" and he liked my reply. Take that for what's it's worth.😅
Welcome Mr. Ali Dibba !

True but I wasn't really a fan of that. I live just east of Urbana and I watched all their games. Marcus really struggled at times bringing the ball up. I'd definitely prefer a true PG.
Nico Moretti is in the portal. He showed a few flashes in very limited playing time last year. Probably doubtful he'd play for a mid major though.
