IF it is Underwood, I'd be happy. Not falling over myself to purchase season tickets happy, but happy.
There are maybe two semi-realistic guys I'd take over Underwood. Archie and Bryce Drew. Archie would have me jumping for joy. The other two would have me feeling good about Illinois hoops again.
My primary concern with Underwood is recruiting. I'm not somebody that demands Illinois locks down the state, but Underwood's first class at OSU doesn't look like much on paper.
That said, if he's a good enough coach, he can win (see Wisconsin). His teams certainly play a fun style. I'd be curious to see how much his system was strengthened simply by Jawun Evans.
Long story short, would definitely be a good hire. Will T. Boone let him walk?
