Have Epps coming…..might not be room for 3 PGs that all want the ball.

Could be good for UI.......but also could be good for Michigan right? Streets did play football at Michigan.

That will be the day we learn which possible transfers may come our way........but I believe our next coach will be honoring his commitment to train his particular clients all the way up to draft day. I'll stick to last week in July or 1st week in August for an anoouncement.

Seems like we know who the next coach is going to be...........he needs to finish his commitment to his clients preparing for the NBA Draft. That also allows him to work with/watch potential guys who drop from draft and may look to transfer. Draft is July 29......I would expect an...

Would have thought we would have waited on this visit until the 3rd Assistant would be on campus............or will he?

Appreciate it. A very fair answer. My only concern.....how would Nick's presence in Champaign go over with the folks at Meanstreets and the Wolves. Maybe we don't care....and we are hitching ourselves solely to MIF. Or, maybe since he wouldn't be a full Asst, we think it wouldn't be a big...

Not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with anything you have above. I, personally, would not hire Bergeron. But.....in that same vain.......what are your thoughts on Nick Irvin? Would you hire him at UI? Does he warrant a position at UI based on his abilities as a coach?

If that is case, why are we hearing Schutt favors Kentucky now if so much dislike for Chin?

Thought Young from Uconn had already told us "no".

Brian Randle IS NOT COMING to Illinois right now. The next kid he recruits will be his 1ST..........they need a proven, high quality college basketball coach with recruiting chops. Let's stop with this.

Speculating.......or they already said no.

Well....I know absolutely nothing. But, Huss was brought up quite a while ago and thinking was very positive. Now, several days later, silence from everyone on our side. I’m guessing the ship has sailed and BU is regrouping. Need someone that wants to be here......or we give them an offer...

Well....let's hope we get him hired.

Interesting that Chicago ties/connections do not seem to be overly important to BU in this search. Between Chester/Young/Pinkins.....I don’t any. Are we throwing in the towel on Chicago and focusing elsewhere for our future players?
