Mendenhall is awesome. currently a TV writer for HBO, on top of having written op-eds for Washington Post. Great guy and a model for what our guys should do outside of football.
THIS PLEASE! Probably Illinois' biggest sell right now (that the Football team has rightfully tapped into) is that we're a well known party school with smokin' hot chicks. I know a lot of people don't like this kind of stuff but it is a major selling point like it or not, especially when we've...
I agree with pretty much all of this, but the selfish part of me says, who gives a damn what message this sends to our team? I think our team would be happier if we had our best foot forward and could pull off an upset here.
Honestly Lovie's hands might very well be tied with how long he must...
If we had somehow made the tourney or been on the bubble last year, feels like we would've snagged Okoro or have made up more ground on Liddell than we're looking like currenty.
Impossible to say of course, but at the end of the day...Just win, baby.
Honestly screw this suspension stuff. If they aren't in trouble with the law or academically, let em freakin play. We are in no position to keep talented players off the field, no matter what "message" we are trying to send.
Meyers was good to maybe great here but never reached his potential. Could have been an all timer had he stayed, but I don't blame him. Now lets hope we can grab another nice big soon.
I think in terms of football AND basketball, my 4 year tenure was the worst run in sports in the school's history lol. Started in 2013, finished in 2017.
0 NCAA Tourneys and 1 bowl.
Can't get worse at least!
Ayo is not "marginally" better than JCL/Leron. Granted his ranking fell by 8 spots in the final RSCI (due to injury senior year? Not sure tbh) but he was chosen as one of the 12 best U18 players in the country in a field littered with 5* and top talent. He's a stud, plain and simple..much more...
This is misleading. LSU had Ben Simmons' godfather on staff, Alabama has Avery Johnson as coach, Mizz hired FAMILY MEMBERS to get the players, and I think we all know Bruce Pearl's ahem...sketchy history. and USC is located in LOS ANGELES.
In our position we do not have any of these...
Ya'll do realize that the last time we made the tournament, this years class was in 7th grade right?
I know this board is full of people who due to their age feel like 5 years isn't an eternity but for a kid going to college next year, its pretty much like we've never been in the tourney at...
