    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (November 2019)

    I would prefer a year of Ayo, Frazier, Curbello, AND Miller. Particularly in next years game against Arizona.

    Anyone else wonder why Williams doesn’t take more shots?

    It's the shadow loyalty.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (August 2018)

    I want him in an Illini uniform. They need to do the work to make it happen. If he lists Illinois for a visit.....there's a chance and that's all you can ask for.

    Illini Basketball 2018-2019

    Still one of my favorite (and in my top 5) Illini of all time. Also played on one of the most talented Illinois teams of all time. Too bad that season ended the way it did. People forget how talented that team was and the number of big time athletes. They were something to watch as a kid.

    2017 Coaching Carousel

    I'm not a big fan of bringing in Martin. I have no doubt he could do the job... it just feels like recycling an above average coach for a safe hire. Keatts is intriguing. I get the feeling he would bring a spark back to the program and be able to relate to the players well. That's going on what...

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (January-March 2016)

    Add Lovie in with that group..... ....while we're at it. Can't hurt. He can pass on his "excitement" about being part of the Illinois family

    Josh Whitman Named 14th Illinois Athletics Director

    Hard to say... ... but I can't see Groce moving one of his assistants out to make room for Dee. It would make sense though. You can't tell me Dee wouldn't motivate the hell out of the players..... and be a plus on the recruiting side.

    Lets kill two birds with one stone.... and name a replacement for the Chief at the same time. My nominee: The Settler

    Illinois 84, Purdue 70 POSTGAME

    Motivate him to play a Rodman style role (focus on aggressive defense and go after any and every rebound opp) for this years team.....he definitley looks like he's got the ability to do it. Good foot speed, good hopps. Much needed down low. I'm with you.... I like DJ's potential.
