Well said. How would you feel if this were your kid.

No matter how confident you are, this stuff will impact you. Hopefully it just makes Pickett more hungry. Hopefully he also knows that his friends that want to play with him at UI aren't looking enjoy his cheering from the bench. They wouldn't join Javon at UI if they didn't believe that they can achieve great things alongside him. Javon is part of what could be a legendary class. I'm so damn excited by this upswing. Nothing wrong with being a "pied piper". Dee Brown was a pied piper for us. That's good company for Javon to have :thumb:

If we lose a down state top 100 player that we want badly, to a program that has never made the tourney; we should shut down the program.

Seriously though I hope jgood and Frazier wrap it up soon so the staff can focus on the 6th schollie and the upcoming season

Exactly. I said it before, they picked their next two ponies in Goodwin and Frazier. They are devoting a lot of time to those two guys. Hopefully, we can wrap up Frazier here in the 3-4 weeks and then get another big.

I'm not scared of NW. They definitely don't fit the winning criteria now or ever that Goodwin has talked about. Plus, when asked in the video about NW, he starts talking about life after basketball almost like he didn't he acknowledge the basketball aspect there.

Curious why it is always said how close Pickett, Goodwin and tilmon are. I have no clue about their friendship, but find it odd that they don't play aau together.

Tsunami of elite 2018 & 2019 PGs in our backyard. Plus, young Miller (2020) from Peoria looks like he'll be elite too. Think our PG woes will soon be in the past, thank God.

These kids sometimes repeat the sales pitch they're getting, and that's probably NW's biggest angle. "Hey, our b-ball team may get no respect, but your NW degree will!"

Sorry, but three questions. 1. How tall is Pickett? 2. Is Frazier blowing up too much? 3. IF we use six ships how do we get Finke in '18.
