NOTES:

* There will be a battle for No. 2/3 quarterback between Leary, Swanson, walk-on Kirkland Michaux, and freshman Trey Petty. I don't think all of them will be back, though.

* WR Isaiah Williams could play a 6th season, but I don't think that is likely

* RB Reggie Love would be playing his 5th year. There's no indication yet what his plans are.

* Dez'Mond Schuster could start at either guard or tackle.

* Expecting them to add another JUCO or transfer offensive lineman.

* Gabe Jacas will likely move full time to the 5-tech DL spot.

* Adding another DL in the portal or JUCO ranks (or both) is a must. Huge drop off with Newton/Randolph departing for the NFL.

* If DL Demetrius John bulks up enough between now and next fall he has a chance to play early.

* They still want to add another DB. Looking at high school kids, JUCO's, and whatever transfers pop up.

* They will likely add another kicker. Preferred walk-on type.

Illinois hangs on for a 82-75 win over Kansas in an exhibition game.

TJ Shannon 28 points. Quincy Guerrier 13 & 9. Coleman Hawkins 14 points.

Neither DL Keith Randolph nor RB Reggie Love have been fully cleared yet, according to Bret Bielema today.

It's trending in the right direction for Saturday, but not a sure thing.

The chat appears to have some bugs. I'll get them worked out.

To see the court go back to the way it was and should be. Well done DIA.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.–The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame announced the 20 watch-list members for the 2024 Karl Malone Award. Named after Class of 2010 Hall of Famer and two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Karl Malone, the annual honor, in its tenth year, recognizes the top power forwards in Division I men's college basketball.

A national committee of top college basketball personnel determined the watch list of 20 candidates, which includes Illini senior Coleman Hawkins.

Hawkins started all 33 games last season, leading the team in minutes played (32.5 mpg). His versatility and all-around game was on display in all facets, where he ranked third on the Illini in scoring (9.9 ppg), led the team in rebounds (6.3 rpg) as well as assists (3.0 apg), and was second on the roster in both blocked shots (1.2 bpg) and steals (1.1 spg).

"We are proud to recognize this group of student-athletes as the best power forwards in the collegiate game this season," said John L. Doleva, President and CEO of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. "To be named to the watchlist of the Karl Malone Award is a great honor, and we are excited to have Karl's unique perspective alongside our selection committee each year."

Played all of five minutes last night. I only recall two or three touches on his part, one of which was a missed 3. He was the 10th guy in the rotation.

Bulls looked awful. LaVine has a shot selection that only Coleman Hawkins would envy. There is nothing resembling an offense. People get down on Patrick Williams...he can't get the ball when LaVine and DeRozan are throwing up prayers early in the shot clock.

They had a team meeting after the game (lol!). This was the opener. What a mess...its going to be another bad season on the west side.
