The fundamental problem here isn't overuse of gifs; it's the lack of new information, causing the conversation to wander. We are all just keeping each other company while we wait for the other domino(es) to fall.

This has been reiterated frequently. Strong resistance remains.

Powell only 6’6” not a big otherwise you include Nick Anderson, Mike Battle, etc.last Illini big man with a medium range or 3 point shot
Roger Powell
Jack Ingram
Bill Cole (streaky)
Who is a proven deep threat other than Nance. I am hopeful for Dain and Hawk but have yet to see that. Houston didn't guard Hawk like that and one reason I want to add more and more shooters.Being able to play 2 of Dain,Nance,Hawk together and having two bigs who are deep threats on the court is very intriguing. What a change from the past couple years will be very interesting(hopefully fun) to see play out.
Regardless, a ton of stress is a ton of stress at any salary level, and you question if it is worth it as you go through it. I gave up two years of my life to the h*ll hole that is Amazon. Wasn't worth the good pay.The vast majority of coaches make a fraction of that. They are dealing with the same issues only they are likely on the losing end.
I had green beans, mashed potatoes, and turkey for lunch.

Roger played PF for us so I grabbed him. Shows how rare it was to have a big who could shoot from outside.Powell only 6’6” not a big otherwise you include Nick Anderson, Mike Battle, etc.
I pitched that to my wife too.....was called for a balk.My wife can't handle the backdoor slider...

Lucky. Someone scheduled me in a meeting at noon!I had green beans, mashed potatoes, and turkey for lunch.
The logical connection is Tim Anderson. Pete's brother, Larry Jr., credited Tim's Ground Zero training as a significant reason he made it to the NBA. We are in a better position than most, but obviously it doesn't guarantee anything.Has Nance ever said if I pull out of the draft I’m committing to Illinois? All these people plugging him in our lineup give me some evidence that he’s coming here if he doesn’t stay in the draft.
WTF??!!Powell only 6’6” not a big otherwise you include Nick Anderson, Mike Battle, etc.
To be honest I can't handle it either...I get locked up! Wait, we're still talking baseball, right?Intriguing , and sorry for your loss........................I really really am...............................

Yes. I am part of that glorious giffage. But ultimately, if there was actual recruiting news, we wouldn't be doing it. We are obviously all obsessed with actual news when it exists. It just doesn't.
Have you checked page 1 of the last 20 recruiting threads?
It is impressive how quickly this thread continues to get thrown off the rails. Bravo everyone.

I think Dan is going to have to contemplate the role of the recruiting thread
Why?
1. It is clearly being abused
2. The portal has added a terribly chaotic aspect to recruiting and is an existential threat to the recruiting thread.
3. The old normal of recruiting will never come back.
Time for a re think before we run out of non recruiting topics, jokes, pranks, and gifs.
What about Kenny Liberty?Powell only 6’6” not a big otherwise you include Nick Anderson, Mike Battle, etc.
I brought him up. Very athletic but limited in his game. He could be the stopper we yearn for. I’m shocked he entered the draft.This transfer from UT Arlington was brought up yesterday. I still have minimal interest, but he can certainly jump.
Maybe split it into a "recruiting news thread" and a "recruiting speculation with gifs and sarcasm thread?". The first would see 5 posts a day and the latter exponentially more.I

Kenny Liberty was great, but the emergence of Marcus Hamilton really propelled the Flying Illini to new heights.What about Kenny Liberty?
No, no - Dee Bardo.What about Kenny Liberty?
I like this post, but it also makes my brain hurt.Kenny Liberty was great, but the emergence of Marcus Hamilton really propelled the Flying Illini to new heights.
Maybe Dan could offer an ”Illinois Loyalty Lite” option...”only view posts without gifs and sarcasm”Maybe split it into a "recruiting news thread" and a "recruiting speculation with gifs and sarcasm thread?". The first would see 5 posts a day and the latter exponentially more.
