Problem with Storr is he's not good enough to make these kinda demands. Kinda inefficient, not great defense.Ole Miss just gave the AJ Storr bag to Dre Davis …
Storr family might be misplaying their hand a little bit here …
Thank you. This really helped me with the situation.
My high school car was my mom's 1984 Ford LTD. The Blue Beast was an absolute unit. It survived everything that a chatGPT could conceive of, including a Blues Brothers style flight at high speed into a corn field after an egging incident. Then my brother drove into a ditch in southern IL in his high school years and put the steering column into the engine block.The car I drove while at home in high school and when home from UI was my great aunt's 1972 Buick Skylark. A 350 cu inch V-8. A beast and it was no muscle car. I recall flooring it into a headwind on an entrance ramp to I-74 once to test its acceleration. The aerodynamics were so poor that it felt as if it were going to become airborne. Eight miles to the gallon city, 14 highway if I was lucky. AM radio with an FM converter. Massive chrome bumpers. Weighed 3600 lbs. Good times.
Am fully aware that this belongs in a separate cheese/car thread.
So... where do we stand with Storr... er... Maddox?
Update: me saying “but I know @Indy Illini Fan” was not good enough to get into coach Millers officeI live 5 minutes from Xavier. I will go down there and get some answers today.
What makes Sean better than Brad at selling? It would seem that you think he's better at closing a kidWe felt good after the visit …
I think Xavier has always kind of been the leader … And I’ve said that for a while …
Especially because Claude was going into the portal originally … Sean has really pushed the narrative that all 4 of McKnight, Claude, Maddox and Conwell can play together … And all get their numbers and win at an elite level … And I think those 4 have really believed him …

I understand the Xavier is not a poverty school or anything.Xavier is not some poverty program …
Steele had them off the tracks for sure … He’s Groce’s brother for those who don’t know … I could’ve told you that Xavier was gonna fall off …
Sean had them in sweet 16 his first year … He put Colby Jones in the NBA … Turned Souley Boum into an elite college player …
Then this year lost 2 starters in August … And had to bring in 11 new guys … It was going to be a down year … But in that down year McKnight, Claude, and Olivari really, really produced … Great sell for guards …
HOWEVER - I agree - losing a kid like Maddox to Xavier … IMO is unacceptable … Brad said he was his top guard target … Losing a kid that’s your top guard target to Xavier when they already have 2 guards better than him and if they get Conwell I’d say he’s on Maddox level … So 3 guards better than or equal to him ?? That just can’t happen …
Brad does not have a great track record with guards. If Boswell wasn’t from Champaign you’d have to question if he even would be an Illini. Likely not. Brad needs to figure out how to change this. The only glaring opportunity Brad has.I understand the Xavier is not a poverty school or anything.
There's just a difference between losing a transfer guard who's from Illinois to a program like Baylor and a program like Xavier.

Love staying in the background. Didn’t know making an account kept the spot where you last were when reading the posts but I’ve been enjoying the rollercoaster of a ride of being an Illini fan and been enjoying my popcorn so far this offseasonWelcome, what stopped you from joining earlier?
