    Brad gets paid to make these decisions very well. If this class hits it out of the park he will look like a hero on a limited budget. If not? Then it will be viewed as poor portal planning on his and his staffs part. It is going to be like this going forward for the foreseeable future?

    I think it is clear going forward spend your bag on your alpha first then fill around. Maybe Boswell is that ”alpha”, but for sure the longer you wait the higher the price is for the piece you want. That podcast presented above is pretty spot on in my mind?

    I just hope the truth is actually revealed. All these players deserve to be paid based on simple supply and demand. This is just a sad thing that this even occurred or didn’t occur.

    Your welcome! Deon is a friend of mine, if you ever meet a nicer person I want to know who it is.

    You know it is not that BU is doing poorly in the portal or anything wrong at all. It is just more that the game is now a race to flip the best chest pieces to you board as rapidly as possible. i get it if you say under 40, but for those of us in our 60’s and beyond we remember Deon, and Quinn...

    I hope so, i went to Boston with my daughter from this “high” to now this is just not much fun. Oh well, others are correct I will root for them no matter what.

    Well we just seem to be waiting, for what I have no idea but I loved the years when Kofi, Ayo, TSJ, Coleman came back that was fun. This upcoming year does not feel the same, at least to this point.

    Can one of the insiders give a reason why no interest in Cliff? Is it just money (does not seem like it given the programs linked to him), or the clogging the land problem. Put him in the “dunker” spot. No question he would be one of the best defensive centers ever to play at Illinois...

    I so agree with this Cliff is a proven quality big. Sure is not a “stretch 5”, but he is an all big 10 defender. I have no idea why we are not all over him?

    This is so on the money it deserves interest. Kid played for us for 3 years and we want more from his spot. Who knows if we are right or he is, but he can get a further degree (even better in his field) than he can in Champaign. No way never hate on him for that.

    There is a good to this at least we know early enough to plan now? Too bad, but it was always a long shot I guess.

    That would be sad they are really worth looking forward to what they have to say. I am really good friends with several ex players, but I would never ask for information as it would put them in a bad position. So…. What our insiders do is very tough and I appreciate it.

    It is weird we are not hearing from any of them anymore. Something clearly changed. Louisville every once & awhile, but Indy and 0440 are gone it seems?
