    People worrying about Underwood going to Kentucky is like the 72 Dolphins worrying about an NFL team going undefeated when they starts 7-0. Sure it could happen. But we are a long ways from that and it is still very unlikely.

    He has him sitting next to him because he is his son. And I am fine with that. But Head Coach in Waiting? at Illinois? He is not even an assistant. How old is he? I know it was asked as a hypothetical, I just found that funny to even consider... at a program like Illinois.

    1. Naming Tyler Head Coach in Waiting?!? HAHAHAHA 2. Hypothetically what if we had to name all the Pizza Hut parking lots in Champaign-Urbana after Brad, would you do it? I am a hell no on #1. Funniest thing in this thread. I am a hell yes on #2.

    60 years old. 2nd weekend of the tournament once in his career. Not saying the search will never get to Brad, but it has a long way to go before it does. Most of the Wildcat fans would be underwhelmed/outraged if that is where the carousel stopped. And I love Underwood.

    Rennie Clemmons and I were playing 2 on 2 vs Shaquille O'Neal and Cheryl Miller. Rennie dunked over Shaq.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Baylor has been better than Illinois for what?.... about a decade, with a National Title and a National title coach. Keyonte George is going to be a Top 10 pick in this draft. They have more players in the NBA. Their conference has been better. Insiders tell me this does still matter to some...

    Tony Petitti named Big Ten Commissioner

    Warren stunk. I have hated listening to the Score telling listeners how great his Big 10 tenure was. He was available to the Bears because the conference wanted him out. 1. Covid.... Warren was 1st out of the gate to announce he was cancelling the season. He assumed other leagues would fall...

    Sean Miller probably wants to bring his own point guard with him.

    Not a hard sell? I don't believe that. The Big Ten has a national stench of a reputation right now. I think Underwood would be a very hard sell to Texas fans. Most people on this message board don't even seem to want him here. Plus take the national reaction of Terry being thrown overboard...

    I spoke with an influential Texas booster this morning. I can't tell you his name but I asked him if he knew about the upcoming hire of Underwood. He said that Del Conte informed him about 10 days ago. I asked what his reaction was when he was told. He said "Alright, alright, alright".

    He was exerting dominance by showing me directly to my face that he was stealing the Xavier men's head basketball coach.

    This morning Josh Whitman was back in Mahomet eating breakfast. This time just with Jerry Colangelo. I was not very subtle and Josh could tell I was trying to listen to their conversation. So they kept it to a whisper. When Josh went to pay at the register he grabbed a candy bar. As he was...

    Is it becoming public? Where is the video or the quote from JW or BU? I haven't seen it. Not really directed at you. But all of this is about 10 pages of message board chatter. 10 pages I have enjoyed, by the way.

    I was eating lunch in Mahomet today. At the next table, Josh Whitman was sitting with Larry Brown and Jerry Colangelo. I wonder what that was all about?
