Isn't it just as obvious if yes Whitney, Shannon and Miller, or even just yes Whitney and Miller?
Underwood working to revive Illini-Chicago pipeline
Mac Irvin Fire director and coach Mike Irvin started to develop his relationship with Illinois coach Brad Underwood when he was hired away from Oklahoma State in March 2017. The time Underwood has spent in Chicago has stood out to Irvin.
"We love him here in Chicago," Irvin said. "As far as from a recruiting standpoint, you couldn't ask for nothing more than what he's delivered so far.
"Illinois, that's like Chicago's school. It's Chicago's school for the older people that we know. I know Northwestern's thing is they're Chicago's school now, but I'm from the old school. We all know Illinois is our state school. To see him interacting with everybody in Chicago, that's great. That's perfect for the city and for the state. We love his presence here."

I hope the street is right! Also, grandma seems to have a lot of good sense.
Hey Tctornado, what were you saying?:thumb:
Same way Mike Madigan does. The Chicago Way.
No kidding... Ayo was on the national team. Clearly the best recruit in quite some time. You want kids like that on the team.
That's not half as much talent as Lorenzo Romar flushed down the toilet at Washington.
What gets me salivating is the thought of beating our Big Ten rivals.
Assuming it went down as the sewing circle wants us to believe, and the choice was Ayo or THT with no future considerations or promises, then the correct decision was already made.
You're not going to get anything too specific about recruiting relationships on a forum --it's impossible to know how strong they are, how well it works for any given player's recruitment, etc.. Plus, wherever a kid goes, there's invariably speculation and sour grapes.
Having MIF on our side is a good thing, assuming you like watching good college basketball.
I can appreciate the power of the double negative.

You're assuming that the Irvin's had anything to do with that situation, which is far from a guarantee.
You're also discounting the simple fact that Ayo is the better player and he committed first, so we already made the proper choice.
Rather, I can't not appreciate it.
Talk is cheap.
I can see the billboards now...
Not sure if this will effect Higgs decision...

Probably doesn’t. They have room for him, and are still the favorite to land him.

Would anyone trade in Walker for an Irvin? Discuss.

That debate previously used to include Robert Smith.
I know that boys don't cry, but I think that would've been just like heaven.
