If every player that transfers out stinks or is soft, and Illinois sees more transfers out than any other Big Ten school (other than I guess Minnesota), wouldn't that mean our staff is seriously misevaluating talent/character?

If that were true, Brad would have benched Mayer for no defense/no effort. He didn’t until the very last 10 minutes of the season.
Blaming these guys for transferring out bc they can’t play defense is bs. What freshmen is good at defense? Very few.
Skyy Clark simply wasn’t good enough. Makes sense he transferred out.
But the other guys:
Adam Miller- was a good player. Never should have left.
Podz- misevaluation by the staff.
Andre Curbelo- dynamic talent that the staff couldn’t get the most out of.
Jayden Epps- very promising freshmen season. Left anyway.
When your employees leave the company, it’s the company’s fault.

Your interpretation of TSJ's tweet is interesting...and different than mine.
First, I interpreted your post as thinking Shannon's tweet was aimed at CoHawk. I didn't.
TSJ's tweet was directed at the player who just entered the portal, the one who refused to go back into a game, the one who wouldn't look at BU (or I might steal Coach Yellyface from Heisenbobble because that gave me the best laugh I've had in a while)...
Mr Epps
Did anyone here ever play sports in HS and and actually get coached? We had a guy on our team named Mike but if you just listened to our coach you'd swear his last name was Mike and his first name was D*****. Mike turned out just fine.
Also, I know why TSJ used that clip but that's not even the best underwood yell job vs northwestern. During the covid year, we were down 25 vs the kitties and underwood called time out to 'aggressively counsel' the team per the commentators. With no fans in the stands the TV picked up all of Brad's rant. Based on him yelling you would think the team folded, right? No, we turned a 25 point deficit into a 15 point win

Yes, played in college.
What rumor would that be?
If you want to play guard
1. Stop with crazy passes that nobody has a chance to catch.
2. Learn how to feed Dain in the post
3. Learn how to hit the wide upon 20 footer
4. Learn how to drive to the hoop and score
LOL! He's gotta be reading this board!!! I will reiterate my earlier point: kids need to know BU's style before committing. That's it.
I’ve seen some people saying he’s gonna be entering the portal.
Not an insider obviously, but wouldn't shock me if that was the case. Hoping not- really feels like he was turning it around the last 2-3 games.

That's better than my HS baseball story, where I was given 2 at-bats my entire junior year (and went 1 for 2) and, at the end of the season, the coach told me "you had a good year, son." It took all I had not to tell him off.

Way to go gov...............now we all have to declare our intentions ........I thought coach said not too...........!@#$%^&*)(*&^%$ !!!!!!
I'm back............................I really really am...............................
I do hope Shannon and Hawkins get a chance to play in the NBA. Having typed that, I hope it means another year in Champaign. With those two potentially coming back, BU's making the tournament and having a nice run--IMO.
If this comes to fruition, BU needs to figure out how to utilize CH more effectively. He needs to post up a lot more, back in and score those baby hooks or dish to an open man.
Mr. Shannon--you're the go-to guy. Play all out and keep taking the ball to the hoop--no time off. You behind the arc? Take the darn shot without a worry. Keep driving to score, get fouled or dish to the open guy.

when your best player emphatically has your coach's back, it speaks volumes
There's a difference between coach getting fired up and what he did to Epps. There's a line that he crossed, in that particular instance.If we credit TSJ’s tweet, it began to exude a week-old fish odor within 17 mins.

He did mention an NT-capable team. So, it is implied.
I thought, and rightly so, he was giving BU one chance to get it right. No more experimenting with FR PGs. At least that is how I read it.
And it also sounds like a someone who if he does come back to college he won’t be looking to play at a different school.
