I gotta admit, I was shocked that Coach K gave his stamp of approval for this. I know Coach K and Coach Boeheim are close friends but I still find it surprising that he would help a conference team. Maybe he forgot Syracuse was going to the ACC

Coastal Carolina big man Sam McLaurin is transferring to Illinois, since he graduated he will be eligible to play this season.

He averaged 10 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks last season as a junior.

Obviously a major difference in competition going from the Big South to the B1G but I think he can fit in, we need more frontcourt depth with Meyers Leonard going pro. McLaurin doesn't shoot a lot, mostly just put back type buckets but he is a good rebounder and solid shot blocker so should be a good role player for 1 year since we had the scholarship open might as well use it.

Chose Illinois over Baylor, Georgia Tech, SMU, Virginia and a few others.

I liked the way he first broke the news last night around 1 am on twitter by saying:

"F--- it im going to Illinois #illinination"

I thought he was drunk or something lol but it was true he'll be in Champaign next season.

Nice I'll definitely be following SMU with Jerrance there as an assistant and now Crandall, I think he could have been good at Illinois if he took his classes a little more seriously, kept finding ways to get out of the rotation.

Julius Mays, formerly of Wright State ( and NC State before that) has committed to UK. Fills a need for us. One more and we should be good to go.

That should be huge, we needed a 3 point shooter to replace both Lamb and Miller bad.
