But you want us to hire a coach for the recruits they have a relationship with that they can bring in? Or find a job for a recruit's parent in Champaign so they can be closer to their son playing here or find way for a recruit to transfer here and not have to take summer school classes so they can academically qualify?You should have a problem with it. It's bad for business giving kids all the power that they want. And how do you force a women's team to take a player when they are building their own culture and need pieces that are fits for them. Again, bad business.
FIFYportaling is fluid, lots of things change hour to hour.
Natty caliber.Booth comes off the bench in that scenario …
Boswell, Domask, Elite wing, Hawkins, Transfer 5
Bench: Ty, Goode, Booth, Tre, Davis, DGL, Nico
Izzo is so washed
Got it. Thanks.Just say “bet” and they’ll think you’re young at heart
Odd statement from Izzo. Is he trying to real somebody in with playing time, and felt the need for a public comment to make that sell? Strange comment about a player that’s been in your program for 4 years.
I wonder if Patrick McCaffrey has considered this route? Girfriend Caitlin won't sign with the WNBA unless Patrick is guaranteed a spot in the NBA.This has gotten out there a bit...but it got the point where Storr asked for a spot for his girlfriend on the woman's team. That was the main breaking point to me. Brad wasn't going to put Shauna in that position
Chucky is not a big name. We can do much better.Guessing/hoping some more big names will hit as we go. Chucky hit 2 hours ago. In Brad we trust. . .
Come on now. Obviously money was likely the most important factor, but Sean can really coach, and Xavier is a great spot for him if he wants to win as well.Maddox "winning is very important to me... That's why I'm going to a team that was .500 and in the NIT last year rather than a team that won the Big 10 tourney and was in the Elite 8 finishing top 6 in the country."
Seems like a bright kid...
Just be honest and tell us you wanted the
Wrong brother...Conner dates CaitlinI wonder if Patrick McCaffrey has considered this route? Girfriend Caitlin won't sign with the WNBA unless Patrick is guaranteed a spot in the NBA.
Some on Loyalty said they did - so it MUST be true.TMI....................but did they love Groce ??
And he already works for the Pacers. Probably not a small factor in her deciding to eschew her final year of eligibility.Wrong brother...Conner dates Caitlin
Not saying it was from you, but there were definitely some comments that said we were leading Maddox for a while.We shouldn’t be to upset about a kid we only felt good about but never really lead for in Maddox and a kid that Brad backed off of in Storr …
And its not like Illinois is starting from scratch with David Jones. We were heavily involved with his initial recruitment out of high School. Remember this:David Jones at Memphis is not currently in the portal, is considering the NBA, and would have major elite suitors if he did transfer.
But he’s from the Dominican Republic like OA and played for TA at DePaul his freshman year, so you’d think we’d at least be part of the discussion.
And he was a better and more valuable player than Storr last year, I’d wager 247 would make him the new #1 portal guy.
I assume we’re about to be flooded with insider suggestions that we’re in good shape with him.
David Jones is rumored to be portaling if he doesn't go pro and is a stud. Also some rumors of Desmond Claude.My question is who in the portal (or remaining to enter the portal) is a better fit for TSJs replacement than Storr?
Why wouldn't she go pro now? There was literally no reason for her to stay in college no matter what team drafted her. She was the #1 pick, already does national TV commercials with State Farm and others, showed up for a bit on SNL... her stock could not possibly get higher from staying in college another year.And he already works for the Pacers. Probably not a small factor in her deciding to eschew her final year of eligibility.
I would have been happy with Chucky if we didn't get Boswell... 3.9 AST/1.2 TO and even though he shot 32% from three, he did shoot 40% from three the prior year.Chucky is not a big name. We can do much better.
I don't know if school has say in decision of who redshirts. But if I was coach in NIL portal age I would not allow anybody to redshirt unless they commit to not transferring the next year.With the NIL and the atmosphere of college basketball, is it truly worth it to red shirt anyone?
Suggesting that Kansas womens team went along with it? Seems a bit Selfish.
Then make it a two-fer.Wrong brother...Conner dates Caitlin
