Keaton has all the skills plus he’s got the intangibles.
@KedPrince4 @stephenbardo I’d pump the brakes a little, in a month if he’s still looking good then I’d go all in.

A month ago at #Illini media day, Brad Underwood said about freshman Keaton Wagler: “We had two one-and-dones last year, and not to put too much pressure on him, but he’s in that category. He’s an elite competitor who reminds me a lot of Ayo (Dosunmu).” Many called it classic

Great stopping into Champaign for Illinois practice. Illini have the pieces to challenge for a Big Ten title when healthy. Hype around freshman Keaton Wagler is justified. Plays with rare maturity + feel for an 18-year-old. Expect him to make an early impact.
