I believe that's what Utah just did reeling in RayJ.

another example of you working your magic with the alphabet , my friend.............kudos......................
Hey, don’t be dissing Oregon State. I’m often up at 11 watching my Beavers, which hasn’t exactly been fun last two years. But this year, just wait.
If he decides to go to Utah, so be it. Not too much anyone can do about that. If mom likes the school, if the kid likes the coach and if he's getting paid...so be it. I guess that we kinda forget that going to college does have an actual student happiness and good feel to it component. Is he playing the best competition? No. Will there be as much national viewership? No. Is he happy in his environment? If it's yes....that's the point of college. Remember, college?
tbqh, no, I really do not.

to your disappointment, I have been punching myself in the nuts 5 times a day all offseason. Take that!
Seriously, people need to chill the eff out.
Well that deserves a "JFC"... sorry you have to deal with those type of people...

Less yelling too!
I have a friend who thought the phrase was “never a doll moment.” Saw him write it a few times before I realized it wasn’t a typo.
I bet this is mild compared to some of the stuff you get.
I thought he played it some at ISU but not 100%. He is a good player for sure.

Insiders need to have thick skin I guess.
I'm in the camp who come here for the rumors, inside info good and bad, all the good stuff Indy, Lville, etc provide -- all the while hoping it works out for Illinois -- but if it doesn't, the last thing I would think of doing is posting something like this. Geez. Sorry you guys have to deal with this. Keep all the info coming, the vast majority of Illini fans really appreciate it.
Underwood makes too much and has too much NIL at his disposal to not be closing on this one. Might be a hot take but it’s true imo
Utah doesn't make sense from a basketball standpoint, so the Baylor people didn't believe it. Based on a cursory glance, it looks like a poor fit -- if he wants to play point guard.
I'm honestly not even sure why Dennis would leave Toledo for Utah. Especially if money isn't important to him. He is the man in Toledo. They had a better record than Utah. He's got a much greater chance of making a run at a tournament appearance by staying at Toledo than going to the #7 Pac-12 team. His numbers will take a natural hit by going against better competition as well.
So money isn't it. Tournament exposure isn't it. Improving his stats isn't it. I guess Utah might get him more regular season exposure than Toledo...but I couldn't have told you anyone from their roster last year so it it really? Can't say I understand why he would go there over Illinois (or Baylor and Michigan for that matter)

He should have closed. But sometimes guys just change their minds and there is nothing you can do. RayJ wanted to come to Illinois, but certain NBA feedback he got pushed him away from that
Was it Adam Miller's mom? She keeps sending people that want to be here to other schools
And people wonder why we clap back sometimes … It’s always the people who beg for info then when it changes call you out … Like we just can sit on the phone 24/7 with our contacts and immediately get on here when something changes … That’s my favorite …
There are also so many people who understand … I appreciate you guys/gals … This is not any of our full time jobs … Many of us have wives, kids, and work and many other responsibilities and this is nothing but sharing some info we get from people in the know or the staff or an agent or whoever it may be for free with you guys on here …
No one is 100% right all the time … But they only remember the misses … It don’t matter if you shoot 90+% …

It’s a Twitter account. So is trilly. No one really knows anything.
Hotter take: no one (except the kid) knows anything for sure until he makes an announcement. So just gotta wait.
Thats interesting because it would tell me there is something he needs to develop that coming here won't help get it done. Somehow Utah can help him more than our staff?
zyon pullin or yuri collins pretty much the only options available.
