Is that even a feasible possibility at this point?So, people are flipping out because a few of the information elite have mentioned some candidates, who may or may not have actually been considered AC candidates, are no longer in the running. I agree with those who think that the final AC choice will be someone no one has publicly considered. And, unlike some on here, I'm certain that Underwood is right on schedule in his search.
Sorry, old age.
I believe that was 0440Joel Goodson - I believe you made a comment about Walker in the past week, something about you would like to see him come back to Illinois. Would that even be possible with Whitman still in charge?

Yes. Truly shocking that we have an inflated self image.I didn’t prefer Greer but this is starting to get really frustrating losing out on candidates after candidates.
Also, at this point, we don’t know who is being courted and who is just a rumor on a message board.Yes. Truly shocking that we have an inflated self image.

I agree that we can't be sure about every name mentioned here (and elsewhere.) I think we can assume that the department has tried to hire coaches, but hasn't filled the position.Also, at this point, we don’t know who is being courted and who is just a rumor on a message board.
Have heard nothing concrete for the past few days. Brad and co are keeping this under wraps which may not be the worst thing in the world.
Be careful, I got lambasted a couple weeks ago for this same observation.Looks like another got a raise thanks to us

If he deserved it, good for him. If he was our guy, we should've gone bigger and higher
It's a good find, regardless of whether he's interested / a target, etc.Has anyone mentioned Butler assistant Omar Lowery as a speculative target? Bio link
No inside info here. Just looking up names. And not that these elements are essential requirements, but I note that Lowery:
-"works primarily with post players"
-was named to Silver Waves Media 50 Impactful High Major Assistant Coaches List in 2020.
-is from Milwaukee
-is top asst at Butler, a top national program from a conference looking up at Big Ten
-previously coached in Wisconsin, Texas, and California
Honestly, I'm enjoying the speculation surrounding coaching positions as much as I do player recruitments.
