Had a little free time at work (I hope they're not reading this, lol) and ventured over the Tiger Board. I think DTrain had said JW-3 might transfer so wanted to poke around over there.
From what I gathered, it sounds like this really is happening (of course, I just clicked back on there and his transfer is not set in stone yet; jumped the gun). Also saw where Deuce Bello is transferring and that rumors abound a couple more players (no names mentioned, 3-4 possibly was the rumor I saw) might transfer. Anyone hearing anything of the like?
Obviously, we have our own issues to sort out, so not throwing stones. And while I know a good Mizzou is good for our non-conference RPI, I'd rather have "bad Mizzou" on the slate, mark that as a "sure win" and just find a good opponent to replace them as our RPI boost =).
Either way, sounds like a real mess in Columbia. Looking at it objectively as possible, fielding a team---if these reports are accurate---in and of itself could be a challenge in 2015-16.
Go Illini!
