Can the Ivisic Brothers really play together in Illinois’ starting lineup? After Kylan Boswell's eye-opening quote and Brad Underwood’s hints, it’s time to seriously evaluate whether starting both 7-footers — Tomislav and Zvonimir Ivisic — is a viable plan or a potential mismatch nightmare.
I’m joined by Big Kurt from the Eyes on B1G Podcast as we break down:
🏀 How the Ivisic lineup could work (or fail)
🏀 Defensive and offensive implications
🏈 PLUS: Our full debate on Illinois’ running back room
🏈 Why Xavier Scott should be in the Top 100
🏈 Reactions to Gabe Jacas & Luke Altmyer’s national rankings
🏈 And Big Kurt’s HOT TAKE on Illinois football expectations If you want deep, honest Illini talk — we bring it in this one. As always, I’m answering real fan questions from email, X, and Facebook.
