That's not being pessimistic. It is based on fact. There are multiple examples of times when Illinois has been so close to the basketball mountaintop only to have something unforeseen happen to dash their hopes.
Similar thinking would be Kevin Boyle of Montverde, best recruiter in the country and a very smart coach.Thinking out of the box, but an interesting replacement could be IMG Academy HC Sean McAloon. He is an international recruiter and has been coach of the year for 6 times. I think he could replace anyone of our assistants. I am also on board with Frazier and Powell.
I honestly love both of these suggestions.Similar thinking would be Kevin Boyle of Montverde, best recruiter in the country and a very smart coach.
One thing is that they lost their top assistant and future coach in waiting.I don't get the Gentry rumor....I mean BU hired Gentry from Gonzaga just a couple years ago....correct......what has changed at Gonzaga in that time frame that would lure him back???.....or maybe it's something that has or hasn't happened here???.....anyway..if Gentry goes back to Gonzaga that would be more concerning to me than any of the other AC leaving, just because of the way it would look and the whys???
Wasn’t Gentry in a non- recruiting/floor role at Gonzaga then?I don't get the Gentry rumor....I mean BU hired Gentry from Gonzaga just a couple years ago....correct......what has changed at Gonzaga in that time frame that would lure him back???.....or maybe it's something that has or hasn't happened here???.....anyway..if Gentry goes back to Gonzaga that would be more concerning to me than any of the other AC leaving, just because of the way it would look and the whys???
mea cupla, i stand corrected.As a huge fan of Bloodsport that is not Chong Li.
So, if I’m not mistaken, WeWillWhen, you only use this when bad news is coming (just as it was ironically used originally). Please tell me I’m wrong...Everything is fine. Good night.
He wasn't an AC there. His title was something like Dir. of Basketball Operations.I don't get the Gentry rumor....I mean BU hired Gentry from Gonzaga just a couple years ago....correct......what has changed at Gonzaga in that time frame that would lure him back???.....or maybe it's something that has or hasn't happened here???.....anyway..if Gentry goes back to Gonzaga that would be more concerning to me than any of the other AC leaving, just because of the way it would look and the whys???
Agree, Kevin Boyle is another interesting consideration.Similar thinking would be Kevin Boyle of Montverde, best recruiter in the country and a very smart coach.
Sounds like they were prescient, or giving us a heads-up. Didn't they come out with this before we heard about the assistants?Goode, or his dad, made a statement that he was an Illini no matter what or somethjng to that effect.

Well said.All I've learned from this thread is that the pessimists come out in full force when something negative is likely to happen before seeing how everything plays out. Some of you need to stop with the "sky is falling" mentality before all the pieces fall into place.
P.S. Illinois isn't somehow special when it comes to program setbacks when trying to break into that upper echelon of current college basketball programs.
How did he earn the title "best recruiter in the country"? And, btw, not trying to be "smart", just interested in who he has recruited.Similar thinking would be Kevin Boyle of Montverde, best recruiter in the country and a very smart coach.
Montverde is the top h.s. program in the country, they recruit players from all parts of the U.S. Probably has had more future NBA players go through there than any other school. He's the highest paid h. s. coach in the country. BTW, I would not want us to hire a h.s. coach.How did he earn the title "best recruiter in the country"?

No chance on Jerrance he just took the Texas job. Had this happened a month ago maybe.I want a Chicago AAU guy, Jerrance Howard, Roger Powell. In that order.
Curbelo is staying. Have confirmed that with multiple people.
