Gotcha

Can someone enlighten me on what the positive of keeping a scholarship open is?

Right!!! They are also saying we should bring in lesser talent as to not threaten our existing talent. “Sorry son, you’re too good, we’re gonna have to take a pass” said no successful coach/manager ever.

10000%

So we shouldn’t prioritize getting the best players available we should prioritize loyalty? This is the losers mentality that turned Illinois into a Big Ten bottom feeder for a decade and I for one am elated this weird culture from the Weber/Guenther era is coming to an end. No one is stopping...

Nostalgia and sentimentalities apparently

Nance is much better at pretty much everything. You’re being sentimental and nostalgic. Coleman is a kid who is outside the top 150 and couldn’t beat out Damonte Williams in the depth chart. Furthermore looks like he took some shots at coach during his last interview. No reason for us to pump...

Yup. They will play the game but only a “little”.

I’m very fond of Underwood in general but RJ behind Damonte on the depth chart was a head scratcher.

We have one player in the top 50 on our team. Top 10 staring the season is extreme hyperbole. In fact if we don’t make some splashes in the portal I expect a bottom half of the league finish.

Experience wins in college? Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and UNC didn’t get the memo with rosters full of one and done talent

Oversight. Lol How’s that NCAA oversight been working out?

Dude that’s how John Wooden won 10 national championships. This is exactly how the blue bloods are the blue bloods. They pay to make super teams of All Americans. Maybe this will create some parity because maybe we’ll be able to participate in the bidding war for top recruits.

Nope. They don’t. Some people are incredibly naive.

Ummm this has been happening since the advent of college basketball. College kids HAVE ALWAYS been getting paid. This just makes it more transparent.
