    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Does anybody know if we're interested in the FAU transfers? Davis just entered the portal and Goldin entered a few days ago. Both are really good, been successful in the tourney, and both fill a need here.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    My favorite part of the Morez highlights are his character. He's seen high fiving teammates, picking up teammates, and isn't seen showboating or antagonizing opponents. Seems like a good kid (and a heck-of-a player).

    This probably doesn't belong here, but here's a good article about Podz https://www.sfchronicle.com/sports/warriors/article/illinois-coach-explains-warriors-brandin-18566192.php

    Northwestern has fired coach Pat Fitzgerald

    No way these allegations are real. Have you ever heard of details like this in a hazing incident before? The details are usually kept under wraps and the masses are left wondering what really happened. I do have to give it to them though, the creativity to come up with "naked carwash" and...

    Pregame: Illinois at Northwestern, Saturday, November 26th, 2:30pm CT, BTN

    Wasn't there some recent Illini team that needed a big help from a visiting underdog Nebraska team so they could win the B1G? Oh yeah... last March it totally happened... maybe it'll happen again? Go Illini Go Nebby Go IU *pukes in mouth a little*

    Illini Football 2022

    Ok, somebody who's in charge get Leitzsey a job in the DIA to keep running this camp forever! This has "feel good" written all over it, but it also increases love for the O&B which is much needed (when we don't win for decades at a time).

    USC, UCLA to join the Big Ten in 2024

    Thank goodness we have Whitman at the helm now... Imagine if we still had Thomas!!! We also have very competent coaches at the major 2 sports and hopefully we'll be able to take advantage in these 2 years before what will probably shake out as a major shift in what we know as the B1G. We need to...

    Illinois 101, St. Francis (IL.) 34 Exhibition Postgame

    That kid is basketball savvy like no other ... hiding by the sideline and stealing the ball, 2 bounce half court bounce pass, over the shoulder passes, etc. I can't wait to see what he's going to do this year.

    Illinois 20, Penn State 18 9OT Postgame

    Thanks for the flashback... What a comeback in that game. I remember watching that by myself in the living room of my sophomore year off campus house. I also remember yelling at Harvey to get down so we could run the clock out instead of scoring that last TD, and also yelling at Turner to go for...

    Illinois 30, Nebraska 22 Postgame

    That was an AWESOME start to the Bielema era! Some thoughts: - Our special teams are waaaaaaay better than Neb (and probably most opponents) - Tackling & coverage was good (when was the last time you could say that?) - We actually looked like the better coached team (when was the last time you...

    When was the last time an active Illini player (or any Illini player for that matter) threw out the first pitch for the Cubs? This seems to be a first... and pretty good awareness by Cubs brass about Curbelo's talent!

    Kofi Cockburn in the transfer portal

    Didn't Antigua tell Kofi to come back to Illinois like a month ago? Hopefully he listened to his former coach and puts on the O&B hat (again) tomorrow.

    BBV with some highlights in that video... We need him to become a dunkatron ala Kenny Battle if we don't get any more help in the post.
