Kinda makes me wonder if there is something going on in the basketball culture at Illinois
I think what’s going on is we are cleaning house and building a winning basketball program.

As I said early in this thread, we really need to land these top prospects. If we somehow miss and are left scrambling for bodies it could be really ugly around here.I think what’s going on is we are cleaning house and building a winning basketball program.
All the best to Finke and Lucas!
As far as I know, they stayed out of trouble and went to class. Correct me if I am wrong. I hope that everything turns out well for them.
It's all about who we bring in. I don't think we will be talking about Creaning quite the same way in the future.Not sure any of this makes me feel any better about the direction of the program. Agree with someone above that we are cleaning house but, remains to be seen if we are building a winning program. Maybe it will look like a necessary evil later but, a revolving door of players is disconcerting.
Tyler Underwood is moving up the depth chart.

Looks like TeJon is out and Andres Feliz is in. The kid is a scoring machine. Feliz,Frazier,Ayo,DaMonte,Alan Griffin,Aaron Jordon. A lot of guards.
In reality Underwood runs a system, so some players will fit it. Some will not. I wish all these kids the best and appreciate their time here at ILL. I think Lucas is an awesome player but not for this system. I think Finke should move down a level and hopefully dominate.Best Wishes.
Now it is up to Underwood to get the right players here. I believe he can do it

I'm guessing Underwood plays at the high stakes table in Vegas.

I used to love Illinois basketball. These last couple of years have been no fun at all. I really hope Underwood has a plan, because right now, it looks like an absolute mess, and we really don’t know what Ayo will be, everyone who is singing his praises were all saying Mark Smith will be a program changer. We have zero big guys with big ten skill. I just don’t see how this becomes a winning program for at least three years. Who is going to give Underwood four years to sniff the tourney?

It appears the banquet may be canceled and replaced with Portillo's drive thru.
