Share the court with 8 freshman who are ball hogs and chuckers … Or go play with a few veterans at Memphis against lower level comp and raise your numbers … Penny isn’t a bad coach either …
No done deal he goes to Memphis … But for what he’s looking for, they’re the best fit IMO …
There was just a discussion about this in the football thread but there are a lot of other benefits that come with a scholarship besides the financial aspect.
How many times this offseason have we heard about how someone may enter the portal and we will have interest? And how many times has that led to them not coming (either not entering portal or entering but not being interested in Illinois)? We seem to think we can just get anyone we want and that hasn’t been the reality this offseason
I’d like to apologize for my geography mishap earlier.
“I made a comment earlier today that I am deeply sorry for.. I pride myself on thinking of myself as a man of faith. And there’s a drive deep into left field by Castellanos it’ll be a home run, and so that’ll make it a 4-0 ball game. …. I can’t begin to tell you how sorry I am”

Damn... So he's going to let the pressure get to him, blow a sure done deal big NIL money win to a rank classless amateur as the framework he's built crumbles all around him and then proceeds to get his derriere kicked by all the fans? Say it isn't so... And I swear, if Juwan Howard is cast as Happy...

I think it would be an excellent use of your time to count out exactly how many times there have been rumors on this forum that we have interest in a portal player, and to then use that information to answer your second question.

You brought up crazy dads. I was thinking regular scholarship recruits and being mildly sarcastic.
There have been fairly strong hints and outright assertions that excessively parental involvement -- from moms and dads -- has been an issue more than once.

Two maybe? That’s called recruiting we’re not gonna win all of them. Are we supposed to just not recruit? That’s the only way to not miss on a guy. Whats so wrong about getting excited about the idea of landing a recruit? Pretending like we have no chance at something when you have no inside info doesn’t make you a realist.
yeah some people like to pretend like we’re gonna get every single recruit we want and that’s pretty dumb but so much less annoying than the doom and gloom, the sky is falling, why would anyone want to come here, this program is doomed, fire everyone, cancel the season in June, type people.
I got married in KY (but I don't live there). Legit, we had to answer the question: "Are you related, and if so, how?" On the application for a marriage license.
