The post was reflective of BU's tone and language that he used during his postseason presser when stating that Illinois is a "Top-10 Program ... [and should act like one]". JW's approval of the short list and his resource allocation to acquire the names of said list supports this sentiment...

It is more of a move from a "Whiter Shade of Pale" to "What Is and What Should Never Be".

Spot on about Fletcher being an asset to be leveraged during recruiting visits and communications ... virtual or otherwise. Yes, Coach Fletcher is allowed to participate in Zoom calls. The NCAA amended its position on who may contact / participate in a virtual meeting. The amended regs allow...

Illinois: 72 Northwestern: 65 IL takes a 4pt lead, say, 36- (corrected: 32) (edit: into) half without covering despite an early run to start the second half.

While some may be overlooking the Transfer Portal, there are others who are following with tempered optimism and / or overvaluing the unknown that is to come, believing that it will help to fix what has thus far been a bust on the recruiting trail - all love and loyalty to Goode, btw. Bad years...

Given the length of time that Kofi has focused on basketball relative to futbol / soccer, it is entirely possible that there is not yet enough data to provide an accurate comp. If you are limiting your scope to the Beloved, then I, too, cannot remember a comp / an equivalent. Statistically, he...

We may be very close here, my friend. tOSU comp is valid and quite interesting. I would, however, argue that what tOSU is doing should, depending on the year and team needs, be a floor. Perhaps the expectations are a bit lofty, but with the money that Whitman has allotted for recruiting, the...

A random take on recruiting and the future: Starting with Hopkins, I thought that he was a crucial but domino that needed to fall to get this class going. The rub, along with the sting of missing out, is clear in the following from Bryce's father (KentucySportsRadio): "It was really tough...

This could not have been teed up any better. :shakehands:

All the more reason to be sweet and sour on posts. Some of the sauces are a bit fishy while others are hot ... we know this. Therefore, it is prudent to salsa through or around the tartar to find the posts that make you say "holy guacamole".

Would you please elaborate a bit more on your two points so that I / we may better understand your position? There are several posters on this board who deliver what they may when they are able. Much of the content that they share is accurate or reflective of the trends to which they are privy...

A few questions arising from two of your posts, TC, which are appreciated. 1. In re: Nesbitt's commitment media package, the videos were produced by his friend in the Metro area while Tipton created the decision imaging, yes? And said decision to go with Tipton was a tacit reveal to Illinois...

Aside from capturing the reasons that this community is enjoyable, the novelty posted below is a solid representation of the respective opinions and idiosyncrasies of the members (posters) of this forum ... particularly when the decision of a targeted recruit looms with hope. 😎

Has, can, or may anyone confirm the post about the 13th as being a tentative commit date for Hopkins?
