It is certainly a legit concern at this point. But, man, it will be nice if they can play it.

NCAA will make D1 sports all Spring sports, if they have to do so. JMHO.

It's a fine plan though we have no idea how things will look in the spring either. Another option is to do a condensed season in May, June, July when the student body is gone. Then have a tournament in August.

I'm basing this on Pfizer having their vaccine through the 3rd trial and available to the public by Christmas 2020, as they suggested would happen on Twitter. As the most vulnerable people would be first in line, here's no reason to not be gung ho about Football in February and perhaps Basketball. I could definitely see baseball getting kicked back a month and going into July. As a matter of fact I have heard that is a possibility with the lower levels of college sports. Having all the sports go in my scenario would be very difficult for small schools to pull off. Too may transportation issues.

The Wildcats got a bump when the SEC granted Sarr a waiver to play this season after transferring from Wake Forest

I think that's a bit high for now. 10-15 is what I'm thinking. A lot will depend on how much Miller and Curbelo contribute and if Illinois gets production at the 4 spot.

They play Baylor and Duke and this is the season to do just that. Good to get an idea where you stand. Not sure what to expect as they mesh but they have lots of talent and depth. Ayo, Kofi, Trent, Curbelo and Miller, Damonte.....we haven't gotten to Giorgi yet or the two transfers, Grandison and Hutcherson. Less may be expected of those three, but then again, anything you get from them on top of the rest is great. And while I don't expect major contributions from all, there has also been mention of 'don't sleep on Coleman Hawkins".
I walked out of the Bragging RIghts game last year as disappointed as could be and ready to fire Underwood.
I go onto 2020-21 expecting great things.

Pretty solid. My gut says they will end up higher than that. I think it's going to be a very good year. Hoping covid doesn't factor into it.

Since the draft happened, if Ayo had stayed in the draft, do you think he gets drafted? after watching that draft and seeing some of the people who went undrafted, I don't think Ayo would have gotten drafted. I think he made the wise decision to come back to Illinois.
