Later today Illinois will position themselves with the top half of the #B1G. The conf. is loaded with skilled players & they're keeping up.

Also props �� needs to be given to this group of gentleman as well: @JavonPickett @_Trentfrazier1 @DAWilliams14

FYI, according to http://Rivals.com recruiting rankings, the #Illini are #1 in the #B1G and 12th nationally: https://illinois.rivals.com

Haaaaah, I'll give you, and all other Cub fans, that one. :thumb:

Cardinal fan, but still super-happy for y'all. Just as long as you keep it once every 108 years. ;)

The hand wringing really shows how snake bitten we have been as a program. ALL signs point to Illinois and yet most are still worried. We have our Center!

If I do, and we get punched anyway, I'm gonna need you to use your training to revive me.

Today's training is about prevention and recognition of symptoms and recovery. You're on your own if you need revived!! I'll call 911 for you though

I would not say spaz, but Luther did undergo a drastic transformation. He was recruited as a PG from Manley (I never thought he had PG skills) but he was just an athletic leaper as a freshman.

Luther never developed the PG skills, but he did develop his outside shooting, something that he never had at Manley.

I just remember feeling that you knew he was going to leap but did not know in what direction, whether the ball was coming with him, or if/where he was going to land. By the time he graduated he had great body and ball control, and was a strong defender.

Is there any drama as far as if Tilmon will qualify if he does in fact sign with us today?

I know we all have our issues with Weber but how about the Big Ten Tourney after his mom passed away? That was a pretty special weekend.

I think one of the most underrated games is Ills vs UW Feb 2001. We were ranked 4 or 5, they were ranked around 20, and they were up by about 13 at half...we kept battling and battling...Harrington inbounds to Griff with 0.8 left on the clock. Boom goes the dynamite.
