He definitely would not be bringing in the caliber of Euro’s to EIU that he’s bringing here, just to second 0440’s point

Here’s the thing though, regarding Golden. There IS evidence. He reportedly took pictures of numerous women in public without their knowledge and sent them to them. The women say it was a repeated pattern to show that he was watching them. He also allegedly sent dick pics and made unwanted sexual advances on Instagram. Now, what this particular evidence would reveal remains to be seen by us, the general public, but it would take a real hardcore conspiracy theorist to think that numerous women alleging similar incidents which involve pictures, texts and social media posts would not have the physical receipts.
It’s important to remember that this was a Title IX investigation, not a criminal one. Under the first Trump Aministration, Title IX was subject to regulations on sexual harassment cases which narrowed them down so as to not interfere with free speech — in essence, the pictures of the women, dick pics and sexual advances would merely be Golden’s free speech. Biden amended those rules to eliminate that, but Florida still operates under the Trump rules because of a court injunction.
Bottom line, when the UF says the case was meritless, it simply means Golden was just exercising his freedom of speech. Should any of these women pursue a criminal case, the outcome would likely be much different.

Hey now, QQ Buffet is a huge selling point to some of the student population.
YAAL, right?
I don't think anyone believes that he would bring the top Euros to EIU, just that not having him at IL might allow other top programs to win those recruiting battles.
If postseason landscape stays the same, I’d be shocked if they were in the NIT next year. Big East has agreement with Crown and there are no BE teams in NIT this year
From a school perspective the addition of Crown is probably a good thing. Gives them another option and means more teams play in postseason. From the general fan perspective, all it and the opt outs (seen at least 5 teams that decided not to do any postseason), just have two bad tournaments instead of one OK tournament. The DePaul matchup features two teams with a combined nonconference record of 11-29. That is disgusting.
But I agree DePaul is improving. Long way to go, but at least they were watchable this year. Last year they were miserable.

Wow, Iona fires Anderson after only 2 seasons. I wouldn’t mind hiring that dude as an assistant. He can coach.

your post is golden my friend............it really really is......................
I hope DePaul makes it all the way back, like top-25 back.
IMO, Ray Meyer (and Joey) repped DePaul and Chicago so well for so long, his legacy deserves it.
What is Luke Yaklich doing this year?
Quick Google search just states no longer at UIUC. I didn't do a deep dive, though. But still curious.

I was shocked with that one. Rick left him with nothing two years ago and Tobin was getting his type players in there. Yes, he can flat out coach. Someone will grab him up as a HC with all the coaching changes that will happen. I doubt he would take a AC job for a high D1 program.

And just like that, the minor leagues of NCAA basketball are constructed
But would a kid want to go to EIU for a year? Or Western? It would be a great strategy for a team like Eastern to have a couple of guys who aren’t ready for Illinois to play there. They become better with better talent. Would Illinois pay NIL money to stash a kid for a year at Eastern? Interesting question.
Yeah, I don't think boosters are paying for a guy to play somewhere else.
I could see a situation where a prospect is not high major ready but wants to play for Illinois, and the suggestion is made that EIU is a good spot to go and prove himself for a year or two. Of course the problem is if he does well enough now you've got to outbid other schools for him, but at least it's theoretically easier to maintain the relationship if he's at EIU.

What I’m hearing on IU as of this morning …
Dolson is swinging for the fences with the big names because he has a coach (who all of my sources believe to be DeVries) in his back pocket …
Dolson has been able to keep this VERY quiet so we’ll see what leaks over the coming days …

Thought I saw on X yesterday that DeVries had verbally agreed to Iowa yesterday? Was that BS?
If you're DeVries, do you take exception to being the "back pocket" insurance plan and try and get better from Iowa? Or is Iowa focused elsewhere?
