Good looking group. Wonder how long it will take CCC to name a replacement for Battle? Excited to see who that will be.

Is Tavaras Hardy a possibility? He resigned his head coaching job a few months ago and Collins did keep him on the staff when he became head coach.

Hardy is credited for Shurna, Juice Thompson, Drew Crawford and was Cam Spencer's only D1 offer out of high school... Plus he is a big guy who can teach our bigs. He's also still in his 40s.

Team looks big and long. Look for Barnhizer to have a huge year.
Former UIC coach Luke Yaklich would be an excellent candidate for Battle’s position with strong Illinois and Midwest ties.

Not saying Coach Yaklich is a candidate, but that he would make a good one. I hope he is. So many factors go into the selection process, Coach Collins has a pretty good track record in this regard.
