Episode 299: Another new addition
Illinois' roster reconstruction continued Monday with the addition of
7-foot-1 center Tomislav Ivisic. The eighth newcomer ahead of the 2024-25
season. With three open scholarships still remaining. Beat writer Scott
Richey discusses the Croatian big man, the potential impact of all the
newcomers (with Kylan Boswell leading that group) and what next season's roster still needs in this week's episode of Inside Illini Basketball. -
Episode 298: Incomplete picture
The transfer portal closes Wednesday, but that doesn't mean the near
complete roster overhaul will be a finished product. That process will
assuredly consume the month of May (and maybe beyond, although that can't be Brad Underwood's wish). What's clear, though, is there's still work to be done to field a roster to compete at the top of the Big Ten. Beat
writer Scott Richey discusses that and more in this week's Inside Illini
Basketball. -
Episode 297: Complete roster reload
Illinois now has just three scholarship players set to return from last
year's 29-win team that reached the Elite Eight. Only one of them played a
significant role in the rotation. Only Ty Rodgers' continued presence (so
far) makes it a complete and total roster reload for Brad Underwood.
Otherwise known as college basketball in 2024. Beat writer Scott Richey
discusses that and more in this week's Inside Illini Basketball. -
Episode 296: Spring comings and goings
If there's one truth about college basketball in 2024, it's that rosters
are going to change. Maybe coaching staffs, too. Illinois is in the thick
of another roster reload, which got a weekend boost with a commitment from
Arizona transfer Kylan Boswell. But Brad Underwood still has more to do.

Episode 295: What offseason?
Jase Butler reopening his recruitment. Constant portal activity. Brad
Underwood a candidate at Kentucky? This April is turning out to be even
wilder than expected for an Illinois team that has plenty of work to do
before the 2024-25 season. Beat writer Scott Richey discusses it all in
this week's Inside Illini Basketball. -
Episode 294: On to the next
The 2023-24 Illinois basketball season ended Saturday in Boston. The
upside? It was in the Elite Eight. The downside? It was a brutal loss to
UConn. But there's no time to dwell on that. The 2024-25 season is already
underway, with a transfer commitment getting things started. Beat writer
Scott Richey discusses it all in this week's Inside Illini Basketball.
Customer Reviews
Excellent
And funny!!!
Insightful and Funny; must listen for Illini Basketball
Scott Richey is the goods - he's a great Illini basketball beat writer, in a long line of talent (Dawson, Klee, etc). Jim succeeds at adding some humor. A good albeit short show.
Great content. Low enthusiasm/energy
I absolutely love Illinois athletics and will try to absorb as much content as possible no matter the source. I’ve tried listening a few times but even after big wins/news it’s hard to be excited with their lack of energy.
I quickly lose interest in their soft spoken tone. Their content is awesome and they do a good job organizing but it’s very difficult to want to keep listening if there’s not going to be a lot of energy.
Underwhelming enthusiasm effort for podcasters talking about a B1G program.
