Pretty big loss yesterday for the Illinois football program. The transfer portal has not been friendly to us lately. writingillini.com/posts/transfer… #Illini #Illinois #Football #B1G
The next couple of weeks are going to be fun. The Illinois basketball roster is so thin right now. Let's see what the transfer portal can bring us. writingillini.com/posts/projecte… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G

It is about to be a crucial and interesting next few weeks. writingillini.com/posts/illinois… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G #Transfer #Portal
Ugh, what? lol #Illini
I would like Illinois basketball to add at least one more guard from the transfer portal before next season starts. This would be a great option. writingillini.com/posts/transfer… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G
An interesting transfer portal name who could help build some depth in the Illinois basketball frontcourt. writingillini.com/posts/former-i… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G
While the transfer portal is kind of crazy right now, transfers have affected the Illinois basketball program throughout time. Here are my top 10 most painful transfer portal departures for the Illini. writingillini.com/posts/top-10-m… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G
This really was a huge addition for the Illinois basketball program out of the transfer portal. We needed more depth, and Shauna Green is delivering. writingillini.com/posts/illinois… #Illini #Illinois #Basketball #B1G
Steal for the Detroit Lions. #Illini
Thank you Jesus!!! #RiseUp

BREAKING: CO/25 4 ⭐️ WR Carl Jenkins Jr ( @thecarljenkins ) has cut his list down to 6️⃣ schools‼️ - Jenkins is a 6’3 ( 180 LBS ) WR out of St. Augustine, FL. The Deep Threat WR put up 1273 yards and 16 TDs his junior season at St Augustine HS - Let him know what’s the move? 🤔⬇️
Technically, Shauna Green's contract calls for an extra $30K for making/winning the WNIT, not the @wbitwbb. But given the latter's emergence as women's basketball's No. 2 postseason tournament, Illinois will pay out the 2 $15K bonuses. @news_gazette story: news-gazette.com/news/meeting-m…
