    Illinois Golf 2023-24

    In complete transparency, I am a high school golf coach and my program is lucky enough have currently 3 college golfers playing and 2 going D1 next year including one in the Big 10. I know for a fact, like players losing 36 hole qualifiers for conferences this year, that teams in college golf...

    Had to happen sooner or later, that was an amazing run of championships. 2nd is nothing to freak out about and they wont. Hunt, vois and wilson couldn't really get it done but honestly, Max needed to be Robin to Jackson batman to take this. They will be fine. Sure when can question not...

    They have a chance that is for sure. I think if they want to control their destiny even par today does it. I'd be surprised if Northwestern and Michigan st keep it in single digits. If either does I think that may rule us out. Interestingly Small went with a non-senior lineup for the league...

    Illinois Golf 2023-24

    very kinda, 3 wins, a second, other top 5s. Firmly ranked in the top 25. Maybe we are spoiled by peak years but this is year has exceeded expectations if you ask me. There is quite often a dominant team in college golf but even they have had bad tourneys, North Carolina has 4 wins if you...

    I'm not saying Piercen couldn't prossibly take a spot. He has shown the ability, at least twice I can think of, to go very low. I think the issue for Small is you want to get the mix right of high ceiling/low floor guys and high floor guys. I kinda thought Timmy and Tyler would be high floor...

    Piercen is really struggling this year. His average is a almost a full stroke behind the next highest on the team. He would have to really show in qualifying to get that spot because his game certainly hasn't been there at least in matches this year.

    I'm sure that 5th spot is up for grabs, Ethan took some solid steps but certainly it will be a battle down the stretch here.

    Showed are pedigree there a bit, classy final two rounds for sure. Jackson has the go low gene in him and that is what we need. If Max can find a way to keep his bad rounds/stretches more reasonable he will become elite also. Really good win there.

    its hard to know who are in the tourneys we play in even like a day before. Not sure why golf has this issue.

    Alright, tremendous recovery and lets continue on through this round. Seems like the team is having trouble string rounds together so they have a little pressure on this one. Ethan doing the hard work in the 1st round to keep things afloat and followed it up with another even par round. That...

    Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

    That is an extreme amount of money for a coach, in fact anything over 8.5 you would be the highest paid coach in the nation. In fact Brad is the 8th highest paid coach currently in the nation and here is the breakdown for the Big 10 Tom Izzo, Michigan State, $5,738,727 Brad Underwood...

    very strange tourney so far, some really bad 9s out there that are just undercutting the performances. 2 days in a row Max with a 40 on the front and fights hard to get it back, 2nd round still finished at +1 which is not ideal. Jackson collapsing down the stretch was out of nowhere, +3 on...
