As would Illinois. We'd take him any year he wanted to come.

https://twitter.com/Charles98379562/status/978073373866643456 Highly doubtful considering this series of tweets from his dad Sunday night. Haven't seen this mentioned on this board yet, which is curious considering how much stock everyone likes to put in tweets. Not saying we don't get him, but...

So much naivety here.

This x1000000

This is wildly inaccurate. 35 tourney wins since 2000?? Also, Wake was just in the tournament this past year.

This is unbelievably misguided. That could not have been more of a home course advantage. That is their true home course. A course they play 4-5 times a week. There's nothing here to even compare that to because Illinois plays multiple courses here in town and doesn't have a true home course...

If we don't land either, it will not be because we "misplayed" it. This continued idea on here of scaring off another player or offending them because we are recruiting another player is ridiculous. Most players at their level are very confident in their ability. They either believe they will...

The same question was asked about Goodwin, yet there he is.

Exactly. We've seen this happen every year but last year. The team is completely dead by the end of January. He "rallies" them a bit at the end to "salvage" the season to where it doesn't look like a complete failure. Then people say, "well, with that finish, let's give him one more chance to...

It's a nice theory, but what exactly are they showing to future PGs right now? They're not exactly feeding off each other or raising the bar for each other. And I'm giving Abrams a little more time, because I acknowledge he's still knocking some rust off. But I just don't see these two giving...

I don't think it has to do with winning. Or not very much. Nothing is a little strong, but I agree it's not the main player here. I was responding to the people saying they don't understand why he would go there because they're bad. Also not that it's that big of a deal, but I'd give SLU the...

I can't tell what you mean by this, but last year was the first year with their big recruiting class and they certainly made a national splash. I just continue to not understand this thought of he's not going to win at SLU, but he would here. If they land him, they are going to be in a good...

I think I said pretty clearly that the A10 is not the B1G by any means. Doesn't discredit them as a league where he can't get development and exposure. It would raise eyebrows. Then you take a look with those wide open eyes and see the whole situation. You see that one school has a coach firmly...

Hate to break it to you, but a very strong argument can be made for SLU being in a much better spot than Illinois. SLU is far from an A10 bottom feeder. They've had a 2 year drought, but that's against the norm of late. And that seems to have been resolved with the hiring of Ford. Just take a...

Good info. I've heard the same around the area down hear. Like you, I'll point out that I'm just passing what I have heard, not what think or claim to know. Unfortunately, many times on this board if what you pass along isn't favorable for our illini, it's met with quite a bit of skepticism...
