Can he and his staff recruit. That's the question mark right?
Brad Underwood Named Illini Basketball Coach
- Status
He will run a fun offense watch a lot of Big 12 basketball due to having grown up Iowa State fan. Ok state was one of the best offensive teams in the country. Suppose to be good X and O coach but has spent most of his coaching career as an assistant. Will be interesting how he recruits which is a big key. If struggles with recruiting I see nothing more then another Bruce Weber we will see

Typical Illinois.
I thought nothing could be official until Monday?
This seems like a reasonable description. I expected a much bigger name. This doesn't excite me really at all. But that doesn't mean he can't succeed.
National guys seems to like it.

What are the chances that people will start spelling "Tilmon" correctly by the time he's on campus?
We can work with it. He's a solid X's and O's guy which this program is sorely lacking.
What are the chances he legally changes his name to Tillmon by the time he's on campus?

Underwood can walk into every recruit's home and ask him if he wants to run the most efficient offense in college basketball. That's going to win some recruiting battles.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
Kansas State fans are really super pissed off. They have *always* wanted Brad Underwood. Instead they have Bruce Weber. You want to talk about nut punches? You have no idea how sore their nuts are right now.

Underwood was so underpaid at Oklahoma State, you're probably not paying him Bennett money so that leaves a ton of money for his staff.

Is this like hiring Lon Kruger from Florida?

He will hire great recruiters to surround him! Casey (Whitman) did not strike out - he hit a home run.

Well Lon had that Final Four but was trending down at UF. So.....no.

Well, every national college basketball writer and every person that pays even a little attention to Big XII basketball is super impressed.....but it doesn't do it for JiroDreamsOfMcRibs. So I guess I'm pretty torn.
Yep. Great hire! I didn't give him as much thought as I probably should have because I assumed Ok State would not let him get away. Great work JW! :thumb:
