What is the number?

You writing a check to cover the difference?

 

[Dfresh33]

Hopefully Josh will write the check and that the check will be enough to keep him here. Ugh.

Anybody got an idea of a candidate list to replace him if he goes?

What is the number?

9-1-1

Not good...

Here's the inverse 'boom' for bad news

Yes, in my own newly minted cryptocurrency: chiefcoin

 

[Heisenbobble]

Not good...

My next question: is Chin joining Antigua in Lexington? If so, how does Underwood (or even Whitman) feel about that?

Think we lose any players if we lose OA?

We should be very concerned about Belo IMO.

 

[Homecoming 2019]

We should be very concerned about Belo IMO.

Belo, Plummer, Kofi, Payne,... the list goes on of players we should be concerned about if OA leaves.

I agree. They seem pretty tight, but so does Belo and BU

I saw this but when I search his profile I still see a UK logo. Anybody else?

A couple people posted a blank orange banner one so maybe it's taking a bit to flow through to the servers. Or it's bs?

Curbelo isn’t going anywhereDon’t need to worry about losing players

Yea, doubtful the face of our program leaves because of Orlando - especially when we just added players he has ties to.

Underwood got a good one with Gentry last year. Curious who he'd want to bring in if we lose Orlando.

OA is not taking anyone with him. He is not going to F over Coach U like that. It’s a solid relationship still

 

[skyIdub]

Looks like Illinois is losing Antigua:

He knows we already don't like them....right?

Still, a player who feels especially connected to Antigua might choose to follow him. I doesn't imply that Antigua's doing anything unethical.

I can't believe people think our program is THAT fragile

 

[illini80]

If true, I wish we could have had one more year with him. I think Payne would have benefited greatly too.

When Indy is concerned, I’m not feeling good about it. I assume we made him our best offer and KY offered more.

 

[illiniCA]

I am very worried about OA. I truthfully dont think anyone can fill his shoes.

I think when you get burned so many times it becomes this kinda expectation that whatever the worst thing that can happen is, is the thing that is going to happen.

Like we wait so long to get this program back to where it needs to be and then Cal can’t coach 5 stars (which why pay him 8 mil a year if he needs Antigua to win?) so he comes in and steals two assistants. That’s something that would only happen to illinois.

I certainly think being concerned about players leaving is warranted, doesn't mean I think it'll happen.
