Put in a call to Worldwide Wes?
Hence the decline of the Illinois Basketball Program
And that's my fear. Some may argue (and have), but imo we lost a year of Kane because he was never able to catch up and lost a summer with Fletch. Kouma needs Fletch and the experience of the Italy trip if he hopes to have a chance of contributing this year. Of course that's assuming he is able to get admitted in the first place.
It would have been nice to have had a healthy ADLR all year last year. If Kouma can play like a healthy ADLR, I’d take that.
Exactly. Guenther was hired as the anti-Neal Stoner. He proved to be that and more.
Do you think Memphis just has Fed Ex overnight the checks to the recruits family?

Just ask Jerry Springer.
Think Werner said something in yesterday's show. But not much new as I recall, appears to be an academic hurdle, but sounds like they haven't given up on getting him here.
No- but I do think people underestimate the desire of young minority athletes to not necessarily want to play for rich older white men who can not identify with them or their background. Let's face it- there is a real issue with the number of head coaching opportunities for minorities. To have a successful, young, respected minority head coach with NBA credibility recruiting some of these players is significant. A lot of very qualified minority coaches get overlooked every year and passed over in favor of less qualified candidates. Maybe some success from Penny and Stack at Vandy will open some more doors to good candidates and some that are not necessarily NBA famous.Do you think Memphis just has Fed Ex overnight the checks to the recruits family?
To your point above, it appears that Michigan is at least contemplating going down this path with Juwan Howard.
Howard could prove to be a bad head coach. And Chicago talent has never needed a reason to leave the state and skip out on the beloved. But I wonder what type of connections Howard still has to Chicago. I would think he would get into a lot of living rooms based on his resume and being from Chicago.
And who would you have put out there? We needed size. Had to see how quickly he could pick things up.
I don't see them as remotely the same type of player.
Exactly. Plus, he did not burn his redshirt.
