I remember those days... stayin' up late to check out a beaver.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.

Isn't that what that late night cottage cheese craving is for?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.
Kinda of surprised this wouldn't have been settled long ago (at least a prioritized list) - as if - as soon as we think RayJ isn't coming, we offer XYZ immediately. They're just talking/deciding about it now? I had a suspicion RayJ may flake out 2 weeks ago.They are in active talks with the staff about who they recruiting and they both would be happy with both of the main options they will look at
They've had a backup plan in case-you can never be sure in this day and ageKinda of surprised this wouldn't have been settled long ago (at least a prioritized list) - as if - as soon as we think RayJ isn't coming, we offer XYZ immediately.

I got 7 NL'S right now........why would I be jealous ??HA! Beat me to it! Well done! If true, lucky devil. Pruman will be jealous.
When was the last time that this program has had a coach that took the program to the Sweet 16 multiple times(multiple being 3 or more)? That's the bar you're setting.I don't really care what name is on the back of the PG's jersey, but I do care about how successful they are and how successful the team is in March and hopefully April.
If the PG is not successful or a far cry from the success Dennis shows, and the team underperforms again in March/doesn't make it out of the first weekend again, then Underwood's seat should be red hot, and rightfully so. Ultimately, it is time to perform in March and at least make the S16 multiple times. Who the players are that help get us there is not of much concern to me.
I knew that would happen. Why I offer up no info.Nice!
Still, having one on the roster is different than just recruiting them. I hope that happens prior to next Wednesday.They are in active talks with the staff about who they recruiting and they both would be happy with both of the main options they will look at
Nothing specific about Illinois. More so of what he needs to do with the ball in his hands all the time. Who do you think would get the ball at the end of games-Shannon or him?
Pru, you are truly melting my heart! Good for you!I got 7 NL'S right now........why would I be jealous ??

Trust me when I say he's not jealous of anyone...........We make sure of that...........We really really do.....Every chance we get !!!!
Damn. Sorry.Nice!
So his NBA feedback was...probably just stay at Toledo where you can be ball dominant?
Why transfer if they want him to always have the ball?
I agree with this along with the fact that after last season we need more shooting from the PG position. Hell, we need better outside shooting from the entire roster. This board was clamoring to add more shooting at seasons end.. Some improved shooting has been addressed at other positions.I find it to be the opposite. We don't need a PG to come in here and put up 16 shot attempts per game, we need a guy who can setup & run the offense. We have Shannon as a primary scorer. This is also why RayJ is going to Utah (he can be the primary, well, everything there - which won't work here at Illinois). Yuri is 2 inches shorter than RayJ so not a huge downgrade in terms of size. Anyone remember how tall Markquis Nowell is?
Oh that guy has been banned on every board including here before several times. Complete moron troll. Everybody knows him.Nice!
Pru, you are truly melting my heart! Good for you!
Exposure and higher level of competition throughout the season to start. If he stayed at Toledo, it would have been the same exact measuring stick even if he produced a little more.So his NBA feedback was...probably just stay at Toledo where you can be ball dominant?

That would be two coaches ago (Weber). Which, according to you, isn’t even “multiple” coaches ago.When was the last time that this program has had a coach that took the program to the Sweet 16 multiple times(multiple being 3 or more)? That's the bar you're setting.

This makes a bit more sense, but IndyIllini was adamant that it was about NIL and RJD just wanted to push up the offer as much as possible. Are you of the opinion NIL was not a top factor for RJD?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
Maybe it breaks down like this or similar? --
Toledo - 50k NIL, can be Mr. Everythying
Utah - 300k NIL, can also be Mr. Everything here as well
Illinois - 600k NIL, would be 3rd/4th scoring option
NBA scout/organization feedback is invest in your future (rather than take the bigger NIL *right now*) and go to Utah.
Purely hypothetical, but if this is what his options are maybe he thinks it makes sense?
FFS.Nice!
If he is the best one, most likely will be, then when it matters there will be no time constraints on him. Especially at the PG position.But will he be the starting point guard in Utah? What are they going to do with the 5'11" guy they just brought in? He's not playing SG. Or their returning PG starter? Not saying Dennis wouldn't be their best one, but there is certainly not unlimited minutes at the PG spot there
