I could see all 4 of them being on the two deep. If everybody is helathy and qualifies our two deep could be Turner - Thomas(slot) - Dudek Smalling - Roberson(slot) - Green

Luckily kids these days know how to use computers/smart phones. You can get the cheap seats for $45 today on Stub Hub. I'm sure it will be lower by Saturday.

Yes, I prefer to go by Avg Ranking when comparing recruiting classes. Right now by Rivals rankings Illinois is 2nd in B10 West just behind Nebraska. We are 6th in the Big Ten behind Ohio State, Michigan, Penn St, Nebraska and Michigan St. We just need to close out strong.

Colorado is playing at BYU on one of the Espns at 9pm central if anybody wants to do some scouting. Colorado is a 5pt underdog. Current KenPom has CU 52, BYU 60,Illini 70.

I have heard it mentioned in the past the Fleck prefers to go south. Specidically that he would like to be in Florida, but South in general.

Tip of the cap game. I enjoyed watching it even with the loss. Sometimes that happens in sports. That's the type of performance that sends high seeds home in tournament games. I just for the life of me can not figure out how they put 86 on FSU in regulation without Keon Johnson playing. I mean...

I have a strong desire to watch an Illini hype video for this game. Anybody out there with the skills to put one together? Just some music and highlights, no white fans rapping.(I'm looking at you Iowa and Indiana)

Yet to be memtioned is the incredible gains in the strength and conditionig part of the program. The fact that upperclassman made huge gains certainly makes it seem like the previous system was seriously flawed. This definitely would manifest itself in poor rebounding. I would say this, as much...

Thanks for your help!

Cubs station affiliate guide Last year Cubs put out a station affiliate guide. Has anybody found one for this year? Not having cable I plan my week around which days Cubs games are on over the air channels. In Champaign they are on wcix, wand and wbui. Unfortunately I'm having beast of a time...

Give me a class were the large majority of recruits have multiple Power 5 offers and I will be very happy. It's been a while since we've sniffed this. A class ranked in the 30's would be around my expectations. If we beat that, which we seem to have the upside to do, I will be ecstatic.

Agreed, that he would be smart enough not to leak it out. Also think he is smart enough to do his do diligence on top flight coaches. Maybe use a trusted booster to filter things out. He would be derelict in his duties if he was not prepared to respond if openings for elite coaches appear. After...

It's possible. I do think you will see more turnover then normal on his staffs, especially if we are successful. I think it should be expected since he is going with some younger dynamic coaches. He also has a lot of ex-NFL types who may jump back as they prove themselves or if they don't enjoy...

I would suggest going cheap on defense. Lovie and Phair should have a pretty good idea of what they want to do. We are going to need and an elite OC. Probably 700k to 1 million. A top flight recruiter isn't cheap either. I belive Brewster makes over 450k as a TE coach. He's probably worth 4 or...
