I saw this question on X (Twitter), and was inspired to bring it to the bigger group here at TCR.
If you could add any Illinois player from a past year’s roster — let’s keep it to the Brad Underwood era — who would you choose?
Of course, in picking this, they need to be a right fit for this year’s team.
Kofi Cockburn was a beast, but what would he add to the 2026 team? I’m not sure they need a dominant inside presence.
And TSJ can make any team better, but are the minutes there for him to just take over and leave everyone else in the dust?
If I had to pick, it’d be Andres Feliz. This team badly needs a bulldog in some moments, and he would fill the Ty Rodgers/Kylan Boswell-sized hole currently plaguing the roster during this skid.
Who are you picking? Let us know in the comments!
