It's a sure thing that if Evans had come to Illinois, Irvin would not have said that.

Losing Tilmon would now qualify as a nut-punch for me. I am both ecstatic and terrified.
Not so fast, the crystal ball still has 67% to Missouri

All the more reason to think that Jerry Meyer switches picks in order to generate traffic from rabid fanbases rather than in an effort to "get it right".

Totally. BU just got hired 2 weeks ago, already has visited and secured all 4 incoming recruits, has us solidly in the mix on Smith, and is attending the Final Four to work on filling out his staff--all while planning to move his entire family across several states on zero notice.
Yet Irvin & slaughter are still whining he hasn't taken the time to bend the knee and kiss their rings. I think Irvin is just irked that so many good players are coming outta downstate this year.

I asked him about this via twitter. He admitted he thought Walker was leaving us and thus the switch to Missouri. he also admitted he was wrong
I think Irvin is just evil. EVIL! If he had his druthers he'd nuke Illinois. And jealous? Man, is the dude jealous of our success. Only had 3 state ships the last 4 years. What happened that 4th year? Was it because he was so evil? I mean all those kids just dying to come to Illinois but Nick Irvin and Nick Irvin alone demanded they go elsewhere. Evil, evil man.
Jeebus, this board. Although I see the same BS on Indiana, Michigan State, Northwestern and just about every other midwest school board I check out.

You must have missed this article on the front page of IL Loyalty yesterday :
Chicago AAU coaches weigh in on Underwood

Was a bit of a bummer to hear Nick Irvin say Lamont Evans "is like a brother to me" but hopefully BU will get someone with similar Chicago nexus for the staff.

Went to look at tigerboard for a small dose of schadenfreude on Tilmon... guy there says bad news for them on Smith, that he will follow Jeremiah to CU. Take that for what its worth ... (nothing). Either way I think Tilmon is the much more important recruit for us because of the position he plays. I am not convinced Smith will be a better college player than Damonte. That's not meant as a criticism. Doesn't seem like any way he ends up at Mizzou anyhow.
Yeah I don't think BU is going to put up with all the Chicago drama. Man some of those coaches think they are a gift to the basketball world and Illinois should just bow down to them.
It amazes me that so many people think Underwood is a babe in the woods when it comes to Chicago. The guys been coaching for 30 years, a lot of it in the Midwest. He knows what Chicago is all about, probably moreso than the coach he replaced. I have confidence that he knows what he's doing.
Cuz two 5-stars and a 4-star just ain't gonna cut it.
He hasn't recruited top talent in Chicago as far as I know. Not that he can't but recruiting Chicago is different than recruiting the 4 or 5 stars.

Poor Kentucky, what are they going to do?
