I know I am not a frequent poster and have been wrong before, (heard the same things some others were hearing about that situation) but I would be absolutely shocked if it is Randle. As of two weeks ago he had not even been contacted about the job. Have a source on this one. Guessing maybe one...

Barbee and Joel Justus are the two believed to be leaving and Chin Coleman is definitely rumored to be coming here. Just not a done deal

Big names dropping, from what I've heard quite Frankly the Miller wound will heal quickly....still stinks to lose a Chicago kid

Transfer portal about to be interesting in the next 24 hours

It's incredible to me how negative the comments about the team and our coaching staff can be given that we just won at Wisconsin without Ayo. Our freshman and role players are getting quality minutes that should help over the next month, of course they made mistakes but better to make mistakes...

Not sure if it has been mentioned on here or not but it looks like Tony Barbee might be joining Penny at Memphis, leaving the door open for a possible Orlando Antigua return to UK.

+1000 this sums up his season, he was really bad on D and that does not work in any system.

I think there is a legit possibility if Smith does indeed transfer that it is more mutual between he and Underwood than anything.

NC State job is now open

Just saw this on Barstool Sports definitely wasn't expecting to see anything on there about our program, interesting to see an outside perspective. http://www.barstoolsports.com/barstoolu/what-went-wrong-with-illinois-basketball-the-last-decade/

It seems like last year Dakich and the other Big10 announcers went out of their way to defend Groce and say it wasn't his fault. At this point even they have quit defending him.

Just gonna sit here and wait for someone to say Groce deserves one more year :confused:

Completely inept on offense same story every game. On the bright side we did outscore Malik Monk by 6 points tonight.

The general apathy around the program is sad. This loss happened either way and beating a mediocre Wisconsin team does not help. 3-7 in the big ten is the new reality and my fear is we are getting way to used to it. We should expect more, if t happens every few years it's one thing if it happens...

Something tells me we my be looking at 2-8 in Big Ten play by the end of Jan. Depressing
