    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I would rather donate 500 to ICON than pay 12 bucks a month for peacock. Its not about the money, its about them continually messing with where games are.

    Daddys money does not equal your money though.

    I really hope Mirk, Davis, Ty, and the twins stay. Im completely fine if stoja stays too, and maybe petro if he can find his role and be who we thought he was. I have no clue how Bilic, Lee, or Jakstys fits into this or what they can do. I suppose we will find out soon enough how this...

    Pregame: Illinois vs UConn, Saturday, April 4th, 5:09pm CT, TBS

    My goal is to get tickets on Saturday close enough to UCONN's bench that I can scream "BOBBY HURLEY" at Dan Hurley all night and he can hear me and be visibly confused and frustrated.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Purdue, Friday, March 7th, 7:00pm CT, FOX

    Unofficial will always be the greatest made up holiday ever imagined, in my opinion. An excuse to get hammered on the Friday before spring break starts? The whole student body is drunk and partying? Usually coinciding with Engineering Open House so there tons of high school kids with their...

    I have no actual info on this but I would guess Shad Kahn is on the list.

    Yea but his dad and Bob Knight were real close and his company has hired a long line of IU athletes - plus he lives in Bloomington. I'm sure he only went to Purdue because IU doesn't have engineering. I saw him at the Illinois game in Bloomington, still the same nonchalant dude walking...

    The rumor in Bloomington is that Carl brought in Cig. Spending $10M or so a year on IU sports would be nothing to him, that's like a week's worth of interest from his portfolio.

    Pregame: Illinois at Indiana, Tuesday, January 14th, 6:00pm CT, Peacock

    I'll be heading to the game tonight - last minute decision. The IU faithful I have talked to today are insistent that this is going to be a cakewalk for our Illini. I hope they come out hungry and angry.

    Could Coleman be our wing like player, if he decides to come back? And if he is not that player - looking like there's not much space for him here anymore. With Big Ben, Booth, Rez - don't think there's enough minutes on the plate to feed everyone. Someone's going hungry.

    I fully support handing Coleman the reins and letting him go nuts on designing some new unis

    Peoria...what's it like? Good place to live/work?

    I lived/worked there for 10 years before I left for a new job and moved out of state. I go back from time to time still. Since I've been gone for so long (8 years) I can't give you the details really anymore but I can tell you that its a fun town. A little dirty, a little run down, high...
