Listing at start of this thread says he and Vaaks have not signed

Why haven't Vaaks and Coleman signed by now? What are they waiting for? Why is not a concern?

Hasn't Brad made offer to Brooks? He had monster game in Monday's Class 4A supersectional win over top-ranked Chicago Kenwood, 27 points and 15 rebounds

And that shot was swella fella, just like Gonnella: Classic line by Red Rush that we old guys heard several times a game in listening to Loyola Chicago basketball during the '60s

Don't worry another second about it. That quite clearly is not Underwood's decision & Whitman would never choose such an unproven, questionable coach as our head coach. Tyler does not belong on this staff and it's embarrassing that he is. He needs to move on and try to build a career elsewhere...

Very hard to imagine achieving that record over next four

Underwood has proven to be a very good judge of talent (until this season's regrettable signings of Humrichous and Booth) and an excellent recruiter but by now it has become apparent that his coaching ability is not that impressive for the level he is at, which makes it all the more alarming...

Too bad he's unhappy, but that's where he belongs based on his play. Big step up this season from Missouri Valley and NAIA before that. Didn't make the transition well to the faster, more physical game in the Big 10. If he had played better, grabbed an occasional rebound and shot threes as if he...

The main issue isn't scheme but building a team around supposedly superior 3-point shooting ability and having it launch 25-35 per game while ranking last in Big 10 in 3-point percentage and around 310 (out of 352 Division I basketball schools). I wish bricking threes was a "right now" issue but...

That's two so far this season. He let Martinelli take over the Northwestern game by repeatedly abusing Humrichous & made no adjustment, just as he failed to stop Claude from taking over the game and abusing Boswell and DGL. Underwood said he did an "awful" job of coaching in the NU game. He...

Wholeheartedly agree. I've held off calling for Humrichous to have reduced PT because I kept hoping to see something as to why the staff were so high on him coming into the year. But it has become apparent that he lacks the skills to be a key player at this level. I think Booth should play...

What is it with this emphasis on loyalty? PT is earned via performance, nothing else. Rodgers is not a program player. He's a severely limited player on offense on a much deeper, bigger team that Underwood wants to show high-octane offense and fire up lotsa treys, as evidenced by the 42 they...

Don't know what games you were watching but, with maybe outside of a couple of halves, Rodgers was never the best player on the floor last season, largely because of his being a serious liability on offense. He couldn't make a shot other than layup and dunk and drove me mad at how many layups he...

Overall, solid effort by Illini against perhaps the best team in the nation, which shot lights out in second half from beyond the arc. We hung tough, but extremely difficult to win when a team shoots incredibly well on treys. Shannon picked a really bad time to have his worst game of the season...

Why does TSJ have to ask Underwood to take over guarding Christie? Why didn't Underwood make that move after watching Christie killing us with Domask trying to guard him?
