    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, Thursday, March 28th, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    Illinois is BYU on steroids offensively. Defensively, we play much better than our ratings suggest, and then take our foot off the pedal when we’re up big. It cost us against Penn St.

    Pregame: Illinois vs Iowa State, Thursday, March 28th, 9:09pm CT, TBS

    I like this matchup a lot. Iowa St will want to slow us down, and put us in the half court. I expect to see some token press which this team has beat consistently since the Penn St debacle.

    I’m not an insider. I just occasionally talk to people who know things, and when they share, I share what they tell me I can. It’s very seldom that I have information, so I will continue to be discreet in the hopes I will be trusted enough to get it more frequently.

    Again, you couldn’t see the hints. Not my problem. It doesn’t matter now anyway because the horizon league coach who played for the Cal bears is not who it is even though there were serious conversations about him.

    Because you're unable to decipher what I said doesn't mean that I made a broad statement. Others got it. I'm not providing anymore details now, so have it your way.

    I'm fine with being wrong, and it's completely possible. I am not talking directly to Underwood, so what I'm hearing is not infallible. If you don't like what I've shared, that's your issue.

    Have to say that the original person I was told sounds like it was wrong, but the timing is still there. The other smoke I'm hearing is more of an up and comer. I think he's a solid get if it's him, but he's not as well-known to the casual fan.

    The hire is much, much better than Randle. His name has been mentioned on this site several times.

    You guys need to read up on Greer. He’s landed guys we would love to have. His connections are wide, and in many ways, he’s similar to O when he was on the come up.

    Completely false. Irvin interviewed with Underwood. Heard a few different scenarios that could play out, but Irvin is/was definitely in play. If Alexander ends up the 3rd assistant, Irvin to Alexander's opens up a position at WIU for a coach that would help us get a certain recruit.

    ...Yes, there is. Nothing done, but it's not for a recruiting role. Opposite.

    Pregame: Illinois at Michigan, Tuesday, March 2nd, 6:00pm CT, ESPN

    He's out. Too bad too since Michigan fans want this to be a rivalry so bad for some reason. Couldn't care less about them.
