Orange Krush '04 & '05
Oof
We are used to this so we know how to move on. We move on so often we have an express lane.Well onto the next. No time for wallowing
I agree also. We need to hit a huge get in the spring (Mac) and a transfer from the portal. We hit the class of 22 hard with 2 studs at minimum.Absolutely agree 100
I believe there is a no penalty transfer for next year.Key to next spring could indeed be the transfer portal. Can someone remind us where things stand on the new/changing rules?
1. Is there a unique set of Covid transfer rules already approved, or coming?
2. Are the legacy transfer rules being relaxed even more?
Thanks for popping in tonight Coach. We always appreciate your insider recruiting insights.Creighton.
They offered after us....Creighton? This is what happens when you come in real late and your Illinois. If you are Kentucky you just waltz in and take what you want.
Creighton has been a better program than us in the last 5 years. Actually real easy to sell against Illinois right now.First time poster long time reader. I do agree that missing out on our staffs top picks is a definite concern. The key is to land a couple top 50 guys year in and year out to maintain a high level of play. I am not a big fan of the transfer or grad transfer market. Those types of players have not really had a direct impact on the program. Stacking class after class with top players like Ayo and Kofi is crucial. Goode was a nice pickup. Getting Mac Etienne would be huge but I think if he were sold on illinois he would have committed by now. Call me bias but these kids were missing out on can step in and have a huge impact. We have a great staff that can recruit. Ty Ty could have stepped in with Curbelo and Miller next year and been a 3 headed monster. But Creighton? Not understanding that commitment to them.
I understand that. But long term Illinois has a higher ceiling of achieving success then Creighton. Especially with this staff.Creighton has been a better program than us in the last 5 years. Actually real easy to sell against Illinois right now.
Perhaps the players are lacking confidence in their ability to fight for playing time in our existing lineup. Maybe they want to be the big fish in a smaller pond.I want to puke
Losing recruits to DePaul and Creighton. We have to do better
Like i was saying earlier. If he really wanted to go to us he would have made the call already. He has visited, he has numerous zoom calls. I'd be willing to bet a nice amount of cash this won't end well for us.if we need anymore bad news looking like UM might be in the lead for Mac
News to me as they haven't been on my radar. I guess they aren't a smaller pond?Alright, some people are on here acting like Creighton is some nobody team... They finished last year at #7 and sent Ty-Shon Alexander to the NBA. Now they’re ranked #11 and have one of the best guards in the country in Zegarowski. Creighton is a solid program and has been better than Illinois in the past decade. Quit using crybaby hyperbole and acting like Creighton is Iona.
