Everyone needs to relax man. Nothing has come out indicating he's actively exploring other schools (e.g. scheduling visits). If something comes out, ill panic too. But until then, chill out.

You're comparing a 3rd year Shannon at Texas Tech to Andrej as a sophomore? Re: your 2nd point on defense - Shannon was hands down a better defender at that point. But offensively, their stats are comparable

His sophomore year stats were better than Terrence Shannon. Can't go off that alone, but if the staff wants him, I want him. Shannon Andrej

The key takeaway from all three is that none of them are committed. We’ve seen plenty of cases in the past where a recruit was considered a "done deal" and it didn’t happen—so I’m not sure why the reverse seems so hard to believe. As far as fans know, we haven’t officially missed on anyone...

Same - but one day there's players I hear we're out on. And the next we're still on. These conversations are ongoing. You can't consider it a miss if it's not concluded. For all we know, they all commit at once and we're happy with the one we landed on. Not sure that's a miss

People keep throwing around the word "misses," but several of our top targets for the "main guy" are still ongoing: - Dame Sarr – Uncommitted - Andrej Stojakovic – Uncommitted - Ian Jackson – Uncommitted Yes, we’ve missed on a few secondary targets (like Dix), but it feels like people are...

What about Duke scares you? If it's their pocket, I get it. But if it's just the brand, it doesn't have the same luster. Pay to play era. And we offer more playing time opportunity.

I get the argument. But the items you highlighted are just that - an effective offense. I'd get it if TSJ and Domask came to UI and were the caliber of players we saw/had the same style of play. But they weren't. Texas Tech wasn't configured to let TSJ run out in transition. Nor was he getting...

A lot of hyperbole going around. I get the angst. We have a coach with a polarizing personality. And I get the dissatisfaction with not landing our "star" yet. But I would avoid spotlighting selective posts that support bias. Re: Assistants - Several Assistants have worked with Brad repeatedly...

The fact that April (DGL's mom) never had anything too crazy to say about the staff is how I know there isn't any toxic issues within the program

Agreed. Not everything has to be so black/white (e.g. "Dame didn't want us" or "Brad didn't want Dame") Fans assume prospects are option 1,2, and 3. When often it's probably 1A, 1B, 1C. And staffs put out feelers and probably fluctuate on who they think they should take too. Not to mention the...

If true that we're not pushing for Sarr, not sure why that sounds crazy to people. He'd be a freshmen that we'd be betting on as our star Did I want him? Yes. But if I’m the coaching staff exploring all options, I’d definitely be hesitant to bank on a freshman—especially one who might stay in...

I'd wager Sarr committed a while ago, but we have been unwilling to fully take it/go public. Sarr carries the risk that he stays in the draft process. Why let him publicly announce and prevent you from fielding other transfers?
