Everyone buckle up for the hailstorm of hot takes and overreactions that will come on this board when Maddox picks Xavier on the same day that Storr picks Kansas

I am assuming that Storr is not one of the two mentioned above. Since Kansas made their $750k take it or leave it offer couple weeks ago I assume we could have raised our offer if we wanted to. I am optimistic that Brad has a "plan". Maybe it is linked to new assistant coach.

I'm ok with Storr to Kansas. Between asking for the moon, momma and coming in from another Big-10 school it was bad karma. I don't know the young man and won't opine on his attitude, work ethic or sense of team. There's more in the portal and if Domask gets his waiver, it's all gravy from there. Beat him twice during the 2023-2024 season, enough said.

Much more disappointed on Maddox than Storr for me. Storr has never demonstrated the ability to be anything close to a team player and I'm glad the saga is over for this year. There are other athletic wings out there.

I have a 3 p.m. ET call so am going to miss MaddoxMania. I'll get my steaming hot take in early:

Our tentative inbounding plays were the deciding factor discouraging him from donning the O&B. It's really what's keeping us from the FF.

All the "we would have had him if not for the evil self-interested family member who was actually calling the shots" stuff is both extremely gross and extremely Groce, and I don't think Illinois Basketball should be either of those anymore.

Alright I think I’m gonna have to start taking the insiders with a bit more skepticism. Seems like we’ve gotten optimistic editorialism more than once now.

He’s from Illinois too... We’re an NIT team right now
Aren't you just a ray of sunshine? :ROFLMAO: Guess what? We were an "NIT team" last year at this time, as well ... and we wound up a top 10 squad that made the Elite Eight and hung our third Big Ten championship banner of some kind in the last four years. I'm sure you would get on people for assuming we were going to reload to be just as good as last year, and I would argue it's just as unreasonable to judge our team "right now" at all, honestly.
