Where is he thinking of going? The other schools he seems to be looking at have very good players and many mouths to feed.
Look at the retention. Stojakovic is a scorers. Who else would he be afraid he is going to lose shots too. Davis, Big Z, Tomi? Come on. The freshman? I think Blackwell has a...
Question about Scheyer to the Bulls in the Stevens coach/front office model? How does that work?
Karnisovas would have to hire him as coach, right? He was just extended in June on 2025. Is he going to give up some of his duties to give to Scheyer? Or give him a timeline where he could...

If you are going to count Underwood's bonus, you have to count Matt Painter's, keeping him ahead of Brad. So Brad's 12 by this metric.
By 2024/2025 season base salary Brad is 14th
By 2024/2025 season base salary plus bonus for...
from ESPN: Dainja averaged 14.6 pts and 7.4 rebounds and shot under 59% from the free throw line.
Good season sure, but not 18 and 9, plus nearly 70% FT
Illini played Minnesota in those 1980 NIT semifinals. Lost by 2. Sampson and Virginia beat UNLV in the other semi. Illini then beat UNLV for 3rd place.
Using your logic... Alabama should be thrilled to be playing in Tampa vs Michigan.
What a great reward for them and their fans... a week of fun in Tampa!
Get real! The playoff is the real reward. It is what every serious program has been playing for all these months. The show on every...
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.
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...
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...
