Gotcha. That makes much more sense than my first interpretation.

Are you saying our current team of 5 transfers, 2 vets and 2-3 walk-ons would beat our Elite 8, top five Illini team of the past 25 years, 9 out of 10 times? I don't know that I would even say that if we got David Jones, PJ Hall and the best Euro out there. Maybe I'm misunderstanding....

Now that that's settled, how do you pronounce his name. Someone said it sounds like Jack Brickhouse. So HUM-RICK-HOUSE?

I see this as CYA. Leave all options open in case developments happen that shake things up. I feel confident that if he leaves the draft, he would come back. But then again, I know nothing.

He does now.

My addendum to #4 on your list: The team with the most $$ will get the highest ranked players The team with the best evaluators will get the best players. The team with the best coaches will get the most out of the players they bring in. Not saying we're definitively any one of the three, but...

You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, and I’ve definitely detected people try to “Miss Cleo” their way to insider status here. However, the four or five noted “insiders“ here have more than proven themselves throughout the BU years. I don‘t think anyone really thinks it’s TU or JW, but...

Maybe he learned a lesson.

Depends on how long he's waiting.

Richard Pitino? +700?

Agree to disagree. The bigger challenge would be to complete what you’ve been building here. Not to start over at a place with known built in advantages.

This is what frustrates me year after year with BU. He’s built his culture. He’s got his everyday guys. Everyone seems to have bought in. He has massive support from his AD. Great facilities; great staff budget. He’s building something year after year. He’s made IL basketball into a destination...

Solid advice.

I like it if true. Maybe losing a guard recruit opens things up a little for Sencire?

I feel like Tyler has a really solid basketball mind, is young enough that he can relate to the players really well & can be a great sounding board for his dad. He also probably knows how to approach BU with viewpoints he might otherwise be resistant to. It seems like kind of an ideal situation...
