    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    I will be incredibly shocked if Domask gets the waiver. If he does then I'll take my L and be incredibly happy that we get him for another year but I don't see it happening at all. Covid Year didn't count for anyone's eligibility, so a medical waiver from that year just doesn't make a lot of...

    He's not getting another year. He got hurt during the Covid year which didn't count for eligibility for anyone. It's not happening sadly.

    It's crazy, I agree there's no rivalry with Purdue but their fans are so ridiculously obsessed with us it's wild. For a team they will swear up and down they don't care about, they sure do talk and obsess over us a lot. Putrid fanbase.

    Bowl/Playoff Selections

    Committee got it right. Sucks so bad for FSU, they deserved to be in, but they were clearly not a top 4 team. Bama went in and beat UGA, the gold standard in CFB the last two years who was on a historic winning streak and dominated about everyone they played. Absolutely sucks that FSU had to...

    It absolutely is a positive. He's by far the most exciting play by play guy in the business and could make watching paint dry entertaining. Incredible commentator, and well loved by just about everyone. To each their own, I guess.

    On the bright side we still have Gus Johnson on the call. About the only positive.

    Spain Tour

    Late but just to add some backstory, Huskers don't have their best players on this roster. Tominaga is with the Japanese team and they were playing walk on Cale Jacobsen heavy minutes
