Like this addition, assuming it's a done deal (not questioning sources).
Nice to have another scorer/sniper and player from the region. Benton usually produces solid players (and coaches).
Welcome to SIU Isaac!
March on triumphantly!
I’d assume it’s a walk on
Has to be a walk on as he's not on any D1's radar and to my knowledge has no offers. Especially since I am hearing our last scholly is going to a PF.I’d assume it’s a walk on
P.S. I like the addition if he is a walk on. I could see there being an outside chance he could play himself into a scholarship in 2025.
Welcome Mr. Billington! Here is some video of him playing in Banterra Center!

Another nice addition.
#58 in JUCO ranking.
Does adding Billington help us get Docker Tedeschi?
Maybe Massey can split time with Sykes at the 4 if Hensley mostly plays the 5 or maybe Massey plays the 5 himself in some smaller lineups. If he’s good enough to crack the rotation.
Good to have a bunch of athletes and size to mix and match.
A full roster, with 10 new recruits!
I just don’t see Hensley getting much time at the 5 at all.

I see Sykes as a 25-plus minute type guy, probably at the 4, given the wing depth. Not to mention the 6-8 JUCO they just added. So, that would put Hensley’s minutes in peril if he’s not at the 5.
Had a good feeling there would be more positive news either today or tomorrow. Looks like another solid pickup. Mr. Elliott reminds me of the former NIU Husky Billy "The Kid" Harris. His motto was "shoot while you're hot, and shoot to get hot!" He can certainly put the ball in the basket. Hopefully there is enough playing time to go around to keep everyone content.
Renew those season tickets everyone!
GO DAWGS!!!
If he's as good as Billy Harris we win the MVC. Now if we can get a Jim Bradley with the last scholarship we're going to the sweet 16.

After Massey, all 13 scholarships should be gone now including 1 walk-on in Billington
I picked up a quattro's challenge tonight for the first time in a long time. The just raised their prices .. that pizza was over $27 with tax. Ouch!
Even so the place was crammed and school is out.
Pizza was absolutely delicious though.
I see Nagy as using a more traditional center, that probably means Moreno for the bulk of minutes. Hensly’s big minutes may actually be in peril. That’s not a bad thing.I just don’t see Hensley getting much time at the 5 at all.
