    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    That one of the twin towers in century city? If so, I used to live right down the road. Is Blackwell repped by CAA? They have offices there.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Not sure Illini nation could have dreamed of a better representative of the Illini brand. Humble, smart, incredibly talented, and poised well beyond his years. The best freshmen to ever play for the orange and blue, a legend to be sure. Keaton, you will be missed, but you will never be...

    Boswell really struggling this tourney. The opposite of what we were hoping to see from the senior.

    Half the players on d are just standing around in empty space completely out of the play. There is no flying around, no pressure, poor tackling. Henry is a literal joke of a D coordinator.

    Luke is a baller, man. Without him this is a 6-6 type team. What a second quarter by the O!

    This team just isn’t very good when they play real teams. USC might have a worse d than us, which is the only way we won that game. Coach needs to reevaluate how he approaches the d-line. Need a new d-coordinator as well. Henry seems clueless.

    Zero pass rush… they need to spend big on the d-line. There is no secondary in the world that can cover with pressure from the front 4. Jacas is non-existent this season.

    Illinois 43, Purdue 27 Postgame

    Doesn’t it feel a bit like the front 4 is underwhelming given the talent we thought we had there this year. Really seems like they have been totally unable to pressure the QB in any real meaningful way this season. Is that recruiting misses, coaching, both? I’ll hang up and listen.

    Game Thread: Illinois at Purdue

    Our defense is a joke. No d-line pressure and our secondary is clueless on tackling angles. The only thing this team excels at is passing the ball.

    We see definitely not the #9 team in the country.

    Someone should tell them this is tackle football, not two hand touch 🤦

    Yes, I’m aware. And it was against teams that have a combined 1 win on the year. If Illinois plays the first two quarters they did against duke and western Michigan they will find themselves down by double digits against a team that was in the CFP last year. The point was, a slow start is...
