    He is our Manu Ginobili. Manu is a HOF as a 6th man and a big part of the reason the spurs were so good.

    At least someone likes Hamer. I guess his dad wasn't reading loyalty last year....

    I'd just like to point out to rehash your line of reasoning about Weber not being able to handle Jerrance's recruits is the same line of logic you used here about Podz.( and I agree, he can't suck then play 1 year at a lower school against less talent than. BIG10 and be 1st round pick. That...

    I always advocate that we need a Lucas Johnson on our team. But these days he'd probably have too many flagrants. That blue truck with an orange 22 on it he'd park on Wright St was just all bravado.

    I'll have to go find the article that speaks to this thread. How soon we forget he completely changed his style of play. And it was not immediately and there were talks of him not being the right fit. But I'm pretty sure Tyler had to show him the metrics that they played a lot better not...

    That's my point. I forgot about that one. Add Jon Scheyer in an illini shirt behind Bill Murray.... We just had a really bad stretch. Just some bad luck with players. It sucked.

    I'm not sure what you are saying here. I agree Jerrance should still be an illini. 2012-2013 year 1 of Groce so still some Weber guys. Richmond Myers Paul Henry Nunn and Hill all had a taste. Miller Clark curbelo hansberry eps podz RJ sincere Goode all gone. Some much faster than others. Brad...

    Sometimes guys just don't pan out, sometimes they leave their team for dead in a car in the middle of winter during school break, sometimes they get bad advice and try the draft or a different school. Weber did really well with at two school so he can coach.

    Had a quick moment to do some research... Nunn, Leron and Darius were post Weber... but Bruce has 2 of the top 5 recruiting classes and another in the top 10. Groce even has a couple. Revisionist history is a thing. I like to remind people on here that Brad showed up with his gimmicky press...

    Underwood isn't an excuse guy? Have you watched his post game pressers after losses? He rarely if ever takes responsibility for his poor in game coaching decisions. I agree he hasn't gotten a fair shake from the Refs but he likes to bring up how many plays he'll submit to the league for review...

    Can Weber be faulted for Brian Randle punching the wall and breaking his hand? Or Kendrick Nunn? Or Darius Paul? Or Jamar Smith leaving Brian Carlwell for dead? Jereme Richmond legal issues? or Cliff not signing? Leron Black stabbing a guy at canopy club? Or whatever jalyon tate did to get...
