Only possible "blue blood" team in the Big Ten is Indiana, and I don't think even they qualify. Kentucky, UNC, Kansas, Duke, and UCLA. That's it IMO.

NopeIs this a legit source?
I stand corrected. To reframe, I view recruiting as being liquidGases are fluids.
Would be awesome if Patrick went into the transfer portal following this newsAlso, if you want proof that the universe isn't fair, we're going to get a 6th college basketball season of Connor McCaffrey.
Watch out there, buckaroo, with that 65 talk. I know several people of that age who can still speak in sentences and form coherent thoughts....I guess someone is going to have to explain that tweet to me like I am 5... or 65.
Remind me of the teams in the sweet 16 this past year with the level of experience we're bringing into next season.remind me how Illinois did in NCAA in 2022 being OLD?
The team needs more talent and depth. Experienced talent would be nice, but I'll take talent. We absolutely need at least one more guard and a stud PF/C would be nice. Would love to get the Reid kid leaving LSU, but that might be asking a bit much.I mean… this team sorely needs proven players at the college level. Our most experienced returning player is Coleman. That isn’t a recipe for success. I get that youth is exciting but age wins. As BU says “get old and stay old”. I don’t see how we have any momentum either. If anything we faded down the stretch and bowed out of the tourney rather weakly.
It was over 40 years ago but I was going to the school I wanted regardless LOL.Maybe it was different for you, but as a fellow former college athlete nobody was dangling 6 figures worth of cash in my face/offering jobs to family members etc etc. My "camp" probably would have been a lot more entrenched in my college decision if that was the case.
Thank God we beat Chattanooga. I was there for a week wearing my Illini gear and I commanded respect because of our dominant victory. I was on their campus and didn’t even know it. My girlfriend was like, “You realize we just drove through the heart of the Mocs’ campus, right?”remind me how Illinois did in NCAA in 2022 being OLD?
This might be how you and others define Blue Blood — and who knows, it might be correct technically. But it is not the definition that these kids use. No one — the traditionalists who use the definition you use and today’s players/recruits — would consider Temple a Blue Blood, but they’re pretty high up on that list. To most recruits and players today, Michigan is a Blue Blood based on their success noted by other posters. You, me and others might not agree, but for recruiting purposes they are to these kids.Blue Blood is about history, not just the last decade or two. Illinois is the 16th winningest program in NCAA history. Michigan is not even in the top 50.
Name names or you’re lying.Watch out there, buckaroo, with that 65 talk. I know several people of that age who can still speak in sentences and form coherent thoughts....
April 24, 12pm is still the deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA draft. After that day and time, the crystal ball should be less murky, at least. And I suspect the dominoes will start to fall.So much for knowing what our roster will look like next year by the end of the week
Maybe. The infamous Dave Bliss was a Knight assistant from 1971 to 1975. Those IU teams were loaded with future NBA players.The only recent names I would have confidence in saying never paid a player are Bob Knight and maybe Jay Wright.
Heard Hopkins opened up a strip club and is looking for talent.Any truth to the rumor that Underwood is retiring to become a stripper?
