The one who has an issue with playing the game isn’t Brad. And that’s the problem.Brad Underwood worked for Frank Martin, and hired Orlando Antigua and Lamont Evans, so don't pretend that he doesn't know how this game is played. He will find replacements who know how the game is played.
Powell would definitely help ease the blow but I highly highly doubt we bring back Dee.A lot of good recruiters out there. Roger Powell, Dee Brown just to name a couple. Brad has been in the business long enough to know a bunch of them.
I don’t doubt that at all, but it seems so odd to spend so much on facilities and State Farm center then not be willing to go all in to get the best team on the court, like all other top schools, including Duke, UNC, Texas, etc that are also excellent universities.The one who has an issue with playing the game isn’t Brad.

Yeah, that's the AD's job. And the HC and assistants have their job, part of which is doing what they do while maintaining plausible deniability so as not to embarrass the "bosses." Allegedly, of course. Brad will figure this out.The one who has an issue with playing the game isn’t Brad. And that’s the problem.
I was under the impression that the new Arizona coach was the heartbeat behind most top recruits at Gonzaga. I could be wrong on that.Honest question here because I genuinely have no clue. Who has Roger been responsible for getting to Gonzaga? Maybe he is a fantastic recruiter, I do not know. But it seems that most great, big time recruiters are pretty much the polar opposite of a guy like Roger Powell. Nothing against Roger at all, he is a great person and great Illini by all accounts. But I do not see him as a replacement for a guy like OA.

Is this karma for poaching BU from osu
What happens with Podz, Storr, Bass, and even someone like Traore, who seemed close to committing?
Podz is signed so he cant just leave. The others well???? No sé.
They won’t force him to stay if he asks out.Podz is signed so he cant just leave. The others well???? No sé.
Agreed to an extent. We can’t let them all leave at once. That’s the killer.This is the price of being relevant again....would you trade this for the Groce years?
Look out for my upcoming YouTube series “Nothing But ‘Paign: The Life of Illini Basketball Fans” coming out before next season.
I agree. Head Coaches have a short list of potential replacements. I cannot believe Cal would go after Chin. We all knew OA was here for a short time as he is regarded as one of the best recruiters in College BBall.Brad Underwood worked for Frank Martin, and hired Orlando Antigua and Lamont Evans, so don't pretend that he doesn't know how this game is played.

I dont understand how the price of being relevant is a potential mass exodus? Isn't that the opposite of what is supposed to happen when you're relevant?This is the price of being relevant again....would you trade this for the Groce years?
I agree with you but half-full outlook could be he’s intrigued if OAs replacement can sell him on improving his weaknesses.OA gone sure means Kofi ain't looking back.
