Some are critical about the program's success simply because in doing so, they feel they are portraying themselves as more elite or knowledgeable than others who accept consistent success without a national title. Not until a NC is obtained will the light go on when they realize it still is...

And no mention of Jake Davis who may be the best shooter on the team? Love guys with quick elevation and quick release. Generally, they can score against anyone...like Plummer. He is also a half foot taller than Plummer and we all liked him when he hit those much needed triples.

I have one question. How is this in any way, a trial for a felonious charge, considered a money grab? She will not get a penny if he is guilty as far as I know.

As an Arizona alum who has Pac-12 Network and watch about half of the Cats games, I cannot believe anyone in their right mind who truly knows both coaches would choose to play for Miller over Underwood. Miller, IMHO, simply does not match up in player development and motivation with Underwood...

For certain Illini0440 you are more in touch with the everyday function of the program. But, at age 77, having been an avid fan of Illini hoops since the mid-50s, and having witnessed the evolution of the college hoops game, the answer to your question is a resounding yes. Either you pay...

IMHO, the Achilles of that lineup would likely be defense. If you don't work your tails off at both ends, opposing coaches will quickly identify. If Tomislav does not learn to defend without fouling, they will take it to him all day. Learning to play defense together takes time and...

So, if all those guys are signed, does anyone think there is still zero probability that CoHawk would have no desire to run it back for a million or more? It will get him to sit down and think about it for certain. Then who knows?

Interesting comment...must have just arrived back from the space station? JJ is signed and expected to redshirt. However, he has skills that few have at his size. With maturation, skill development, experience, self-confidence, and Fletching, he should become a solid contributor to future...

Looks to me like Brad Underwood should give Tommy Lloyd a call and chat a bit about the challenges of integrating International players with his EDGs. If it comes to fruition that Demin is in the fold, this will be a talented roster....which does not mean a great team. BU has been facing...

As long as there is no limit, just using the tendency for human frailty (we have seen NIL payments more than double in the past year), it is likely there is not a person on the planet who can make an accurate prediction where NIL $ earned per season will be in 10 years...or 20....or ? if the...

Indiana has been my favorite "rival" since the 50s due to the rivalry in H. S. basketball interest. In that 75 year stretch the Michigan athletic dept. has become totally insignificant and due zero respect in all sports...especially basketball....and football. All others have been fairly...

We can only hope so...Mast was impressive.

Not sure Toma is cheaper than Dain in the long term....however he gets his due. He shoots twice the percentage from the FT line and evidently is aware of his teammates and willing to find them at the arc. Love Dain, but his failures in those areas plus inconsistent defense made him just avg...

Nobody does that with my knees!!!

This is a major concern. Having a great roster does not equate to championships by default...but obviously a necessary place to start. What BU can accomplish in putting the pieces together will be a more challenging puzzle to solve. Nevertheless, I think most Illini hoops fans feel far...
