Illini doesnt seem to be showing any interest. The package deal rumours are getting stronger.

Exactly. Anyone lauding Leblanc for his defense, rebounding, and toughness is just parroting all of the talking points from before the season and didn’t actually watch him play.

He had the best defensive rating, defensive box/minute, and block percentage on the team. Was second in steal percentage to Gaines and statistically was a plus offensive rebounder. Our defensive energy and execution were noticeably better when he and Gaines were on the floor and he was far from a liability on offense.

Being the best defensive player on an absolutely terrible defensive team doesn’t make someone a good defensive player.

His numbers hold up in conference as well. 11th in the conference in steal rate, 12th in defensive box, 16th in block rate (pretty remarkable considering we had him sitting at the top of the zone for a large portion of his possessions), 14th in offensive rebounding.


Where was he a liability on offense? He strictly played within his limited role and himself. He did that all season long just like Hyatt and Mwani. Here's a kicker, Leblanc was third in the conference in offensive rating. That doesn't show that he was a great offensive player, but it shows that the offense functioned just fine with him on the floor. Yeah, he had terrible hands, but how many times did we really call his number as a rim roller?

Has there been any developments with Mitchell? If we picked both him and Efton up Wade will have pulled the rabbit out of the hat I think. Next year’s squad would be very deep.

Supposedly we are fading out of contention with Mitchell.

Seen several say that last 24 hours.
Maybe get Days back and prolly can put a stamp on next years roster.

So you're saying we're not getting Mitchell or Reid (you said you think UNC in the other thread)?

Not getting Mitchell.

Reid is coming.

Mitchell and his step dad seem to be problematic.

No one knows Reid's decision except he and his Mom and his HS coach, who i have known for years and he wont tell me..My guess is UNC but its merely that - a guess based on a few different things.

Interesting. Anywhere but UGA don't want anyone in our conference getting better. Bryant?

Just because lsu is in his top 5?

I'm pretty sure he isn't coming to lsu.

It sucks since he could have the biggest impact on the team next year

Fully agree. And Madison Prep has a nice looking front court player named Percy Daniels who we recently offered.
