Three questions. 1. Was Luke Goode likely to start next season? 2. Would Luke likely be a starter at IU or play almost an identical role on that team? I see quick guards continuing to exploit his defensive liability much like Buie...but he was also one heck of a rebounder. 3. Does anyone...

Not sure that is true. You really can't drive to Bloomington from anywhere easily....at least not when I roamed there some 50 years ago. Can't imagine it has occurred to anyone to build some new roads over the past 50 years. /s

Having Pac-12 Network, and being disappointed when Boswell chose not to play for the Illini, I have watched him play as often as possible for two seasons. Arizona had a ton of talent. Boswell's job was to get the ball to that talent when and where it was needed. But.............on occasion...

Having read most of the posts for the past week and a half, it was posted, by one of the insiders IIRC, that both had additional boosters lined up to take care of them should either or both decide to return. That would take the NIL pot for U of I above the reported ~3 mil allotted....but would...

Likely every coach wants the same. Had we had Harmon and Q playing consistently to their potential from the arc, this year's team was in the realm of the Flyin' Illini and '05 finalist. Unfortunately, that did not happen. The lack of ability to score against Edey and Clingman was evident...

My HS gym, a place that holds so many memories for me, is one of the Iconic small town gyms and is now named for legendary coach Ernie Eveland. When I was in fourth grade, I would go to the gym on Sat. mornings when my parents allowed. On one glorious day, in a pickup game, I was chosen to...

4 down....5 to go?

In the most humble of suggestions, you might want to visit Fayetteville. It is night and day different than Central Illinois. They have very few corn or soybean fields, if any. Northwest Arkansas is an outdoor paradise in many ways. Maybe he loves whitewater rafting, tubing, or...

First, let me say that I am not, never have been, and have no desire to be an Insider. But, I do enjoy hearing from the four who post here that repeatedly pass on solid information....and yet restrain from revealing too much and state when they do not know with certainty. I also appreciate...

I would assume Certa

It is a fact that reading the tea leaves of this board leads to 99% inaccuracy because every take on every subject is interpreted in every way possible by some crazy poster. That is why it really does not take long to learn what is and MAY happen....all you need to read is insider info. And...

Could not agree more. Only 3 commits in 6 days is being lazy. I expected 6 five starts by now in the fold!!! Poor recruiting. /s But seriously, I have always wanted Kylan in SFC and am glad he is back home. As a Wildcat myself who is Illinois born and bred, he belongs at the U of...

Really...he may Boswell Fletch!! Pretty stout guy...even as a frosh. Kid can do things he has not shown on the court to date due to having so much talent to feed. IMHO, he can be an elite shooters as his mechanics are excellent. Hopefully, Brad will use his talents at both ends and he...

Excellent take. Without having won a handful of NCs, the Illini, as much as any other program, are solidly seated behind the elite programs as an elite contender with solid coaching and placement of players in the NBA. Dreamers will always say the Illini should focus on winning NCs every...

AJ Storr is a 20 YO kid who does not know what he does not know. He will find some coach to which he will commit and get a million....and forever wonder why he did not go to play for a coach and team that would make him play to his potential....for his team...for fewer $ but the wise choice...
