Cuonzo takes the Mizzou job means Illinois was going after him....IMO. No way he takes Mizzou over Illinois unless Mizzou was going to pay him more. What's scary is if Cuonzo was really offered 3.5 per year.......

I think it is laughable when people on this board talk in definitive terms, like anyone on this board has any idea how Marshall would react.....maybe he wants to win a national championship and I don't think anyone would argue that road through WSU is much more difficult than through a school...

Right, it take me longer to figure things out. Last time around was Thomas, and I am hoping the increased Big Ten money might help. I am not on the C. Martin train, I'd rather roll the dice with Keatts.

I am now on the Marshall bandwagon. Open up the check book. The new media deal will add several million dollars per year. Marshall or Bennett. So what better way to judge a coach for his coaching skills than looking at his conference record. Marshall had to recruit against, the play...

As schools start seeing increased revenue from media (hard to say how long until the cable bubble burst impact live sports content) I think it becomes easier for schools to offer more money to lure coaches. MO hit payday with the SEC. Curious if they offer someone 3+ million per year to lure a...

3/2 Bubble Games (not many): Houston @ Cincinnati FL International @ Middle Tenn California @ Utah

More about their scholarship situation, wishful thinking.......might not have anything to do with Tilmon

Just saw this - IO believe he is a 2017 prospect: stu durando Retweeted Mt.Zion Prep ‏@MtZionPrep 2h2 hours ago St Louis University offers 6'5" PG Teshaun Hightower. Congrats...

Been a few years since I have felt good about our football program. What a day, way to go Lovie & staff.

My kids and I have gone for several years now - so I'm right there with you. This year would be awesome.

Great news! Finally might see Saturday at the Big Ten MBB tourney in 17-18. Welcome JT.

OK FWIW...... Dave Wischnowsky ‏@wischlist 3m3 minutes ago I'm also told that if Tilmon does commit to Illinois, the odds are strong that Jordan Goodwin follows. We'll see how it plays out. #illini
