He worked for the DIA…that’s when he f**ked up!I guess what I’d be interested to know is *when* whatever happened with Dee, happened.
He was gone to the league a year after the Final Four. Never returned to Champaign in any sort of employed capacity - how bad can you **** up as an 18-22 year old where you’re allowed to stay on campus, play full time, return for your senior year, etc - and then never, ever again? That doesn’t add up to me.
Step off the ledge dude.Elite 8 to this. We are an utter mess and IU and MI who were both in the dumpster have more momentum than us. WTH. This is on Brad!!! I will hold out hope but you just ran off an Illini favorite and his recruits. I’m sad regardless how this turns out.
Or jump.Step off the ledge dude.
They got to get TA some help to land some 5-stars.I’m going to choose to see this as a mutually beneficial split.
Realistically Fraizers recruits have been lack luster here, for one reason or another. Maybe that isn’t his fault.
In the grand scheme of things, I think it’s time to think bigger. If we have the NIL budget we do, we shouldn’t been going on a decade plus of no consensus 5 stars out of high school. Or missing on some of the larger names in the portal. Not saying Frazier couldn’t deliver, but he hasn’t.
It’s beyond time to fully trust underwood. I think there’s another achievable gear here he can get to. This could be an avenue towards it.

Meaning, promises made in those two areas were broken and that's what has upset CF?There's two other factors here. playing time guarantees and NIL.
well, that's one possibility. the other is that someone else gets a better deal than his guy. So if they've arranged one number for Amani and they're arranging a higher number for Booth, I can see that sitting pretty bad.Meaning, promises made in those two areas were broken and that's what has upset CF?

What does that mean that he f'ed up? Was there an inappropriate relationship? I remember he was with the DIA and then oddly left shortly after joining.He worked for the DIA…that’s when he f**ked up!

Probably more difficult to reel in the next recruit, is my guess. You tell them and their family how good they fit, but then they are recruited over.I find it a bit weird that assistants get upset if "their" recruits get recruited over. Seems un-EDG, not team oriented, selfish, etc.
I'm sorry to see Chester leave but I trust Brad will not let Illinois miss a beat.I'm assuming as well that Chester was a bit more pissed about Jase not being guaranteed playing time than was known at the time.
Man, not feeling this if Brad and him are leaving on bad terms. Chet is an Illini for life no matter what.
Don’t disagree, but what 17-20 year old is signing up for that realistically?I don't know what "etc..." comprises; however, strict denial of the foregoing three pastimes in males 17-early-20-ish would seem to... how shall I put this... channel a certain energy and focus (even a certain amount of fury) into their basketball playing.
I don’t see how this is on Brad. I’m sure you want to see the most best team on the floor. If you don’t want your guys recruited over, recruit better guys. Hansberry, Harris, and Butler are good players but I don’t see them being stars or our best players.Do whatever it takes to bring Antigua back.
Timing absolutely screwed us with Boynton, this one's on Brad if he didn't realize how fed up Chester was and wasn't expecting this with his portal plans. But with OA that would be a hell of a replacement.
If you had read Mrs. Brown's comments, things would be clearer. Dee has no one to blame but himself. And there is a reason the university didn't make any statements.View attachment 33603
I literally had no idea this was even a thing.
What a bizarre and unfortunate era for the program those years were.
Take a breath. Think this through and wait to see who the hire is to pass judgement. “Utter mess” seems a little strong.Elite 8 to this.
