Would we offer Cuonzo that much? I'd think not right?

Here’s what I know, Illinois is talking about offering $4.8m/yr to Tony Bennett, they aren’t talking about offering half that for Cuonzo

I think that's a pretty good slate of predictions.
Not Muller to WSU though. An alum isn't selling out within his own conference like that.
Someone who works for SB Nation is saying Illinois is talking about offering $4.8m/yr to Tony Bennett
Gregory was one of those guys that's great at a place like Dayton, but was just god-awful terribad at Tech. If you thought Groce's in-game adjustments were lacking, Gregory sets a new low standard.
That will be a recruiting nightmare for us.

There seems to be a perception that any other coach at Mizzou wouldn't be a recruiting threat. We've been spoiled by the Kim Anderson era I guess.The legend of Cuonzo the recruiter is starting to slightly outstrip reality.

What do you think about Geno Auriema jumping to the men's side and coaching the Illini? I've often thought if he really wants to be thought of as a great coach try coaching the men. Not sure it would be a good idea but I've wondered about this for quite some time.

Zo is NOT worth 3.5 mil. 2.5 would be more in line with his actual worth. I would love to see us pony up 4.8 for Bennett.
I wrote a post about him being my dark horse (albeit somewhat tongue in cheek) but the knock on him is that he is probably too old, he's around 63. Not to be ageist but we are probably looking for someone younger.

Put me in the minority that isn't as concerned about Cuonzo going to Mizzou. There are multiple pages of concerns about his coaching/development, but now we think he'll be successful if he goes to a rival?
True, but the other peak (late 80's) was during the Knight, Davis, and Frieder era. I personally think the 89 team faced better competition than 05, and to me that makes them better.Right, sadly you only get so much incompetence from your rivals.
The peak era of Illinois basketball happened during the Mike Davis era at Indiana, the Quin Snyder era at Mizzou, the Tommy Amaker era at Michigan and the Steve Alford era at Iowa.
Not a coincidence.
I know once I post this I'm going to get murdered here. I know Bennett is a good coach and a winner but I don't want to watch his boring style of play at UI at all. I think some of current recruits might leave because their style doesn't fit Bennett's at all. Take it easy on me.
