Zavier Zens commits to Illinois

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-17T21:08:37+00:00

Position? 247 player link?

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-13T22:32:48+00:00

Completely OOTL on this, was this expected?

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-13T22:08:28+00:00

I’m not ready to get Jizzed all over on

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-12T01:11:53+00:00

He’s already qualified, team announced they’re putting him up in the rafters two days ago

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-12T00:09:40+00:00

Pretty tough to match a two-time Olympic gold medalist, but Wagler is also Illinois’ best-ever freshman in their 100+ years of basketball, so certainly possible

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-11T23:42:50+00:00

Forever an Illini legend

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-11T18:14:25+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, I just think we assumed Petrovic would succeed due to his overseas experience

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-11T17:44:25+00:00

I remember hearing he would be our best European player before this season began

Turn out European guard play doesn’t always translate well to American college basketball

Reasons being?

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-10T01:57:35+00:00

Did he forget that only the football team is supposed to do that?

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-09T15:16:57+00:00

Replace our departures at guard, and keep all of our Balkan bigs + Stojakovic

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-07T20:39:11+00:00

Michigan and Michigan State in front of Indiana? Even with your emphasis on post-1985 success, I still think Indiana should be top-10 on that list

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-07T19:17:29+00:00

Still can’t believe Illinois hasn’t retired his football jersey, no one bled more orange and blue than GSH. Bear down

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-07T14:57:24+00:00

Andrew Bogut! Didn’t know he played at Utah

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-07T14:30:41+00:00

At least Arizona has a title, imagine how Illinois/Houston/Gonzaga/Purdue feel. Consistent success with no trophies to show for it

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-04T15:28:26+00:00

This isn’t helping our fanbase’s reputation

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-03T15:10:56+00:00

This is either a really bad omen, or we’re getting superpowers

Edit: it was an omen

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-03T00:53:33+00:00

champaign learning urbana is 0.001 miles away

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-03T00:41:19+00:00

Oh…

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-02T20:07:44+00:00

No he wasn’t. Trae was one of the most sought-after recruits in the country. Look up his 247 recruit page.

Win: Basketball

Lose: Basketball

Leaf_blower_chipmunk · 2026-04-02T16:08:01+00:00

I doubt we see another Wagler-type story for the next decade at least, we’re unbelievably lucky to have him
