    Illini Basketball 2016-2017

    why are we discussing Groce being fired.....the season hasn't even started. Rome wasn't built in a day. Have some faith in the head coach. Cannot wait for basketball season!! ILL

    2016 St. Louis Cardinals

    I personally will live and die by Waino. He is past his prime but he is the team leader. He will fix his problems because that is how he is wired. Its still early, Reyes can come in and help later in the year (hopefully). I personally have tempered expectations for Reyes this year. He's...

    Wish I didn't laugh at that! Definitely hope his recruiting efforts pay off for 2017! Charlie Moore would be an awesome get for this program this late in the process.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (April-June 2016)

    False. I attended middle school/played bball with KBD at Chiddix Jr. High School in Normal, IL. He was in the 6th grade when I was a 7th grader. He was set on OSU as soon as they offered, Parham is a close family friend to his so it was a hard decision to turn him down.\\ Edit: irrelevant to...

    Lewis won co-player of the year with Lucas in their league. I will take anyone that wants to play here and work their butt off to get us back to where we need to be. ILL

    Northwestern 58, Illinois 56 POSTGAME

    Trying to be positive! Haven't lost faith in Groce, he's capable for the job and I do not know who would want to take this job in our current situation. While this team is hard to watch, this team will make noise if they are ever healthy at the same time. Finish this year strong and prepare...

    Illinois Basketball 2016-2017

    This roster is built to win! Eager to see the current team grow the rest of the year, but next year's team gets me excited. Hope 2017 class is a good one, we will need to reload a lot of scoring.

    John Groce at Illinois

    +10000. You cannot hire anyone better at the moment. 1) No A.D. 2) Recent success is not as appealing as it was over 8 years ago. No denying our program history is one of the best in the nation, but currently we are not. The state of the athletic program does not help the school/job appeal...

    John Groce at Illinois

    If Groce would have the roster makeup similar to Weber's at this point in his tenure I would be concerned. Groce has many quality pieces on this roster, the only thing this team is lacking is continuity in lineups and a killer instinct in the 2nd half. We have came out strong all year in the...

    St. Louis Cardinals 2015 Season

    Like the addition of Leake. Contract isn't ideal but thats what happens when the market dries up of good arms. I think Leake will contribute to this team especially this season without Lynn. With other quality OF depth and Chris Davis still on the market, I think we make another move. I don't...

    Elijah Thomas transfers to Clemson

    IF he is able to go to Texas, that would be my bet. My guess is he will stay in the South. He most likely sees the writing on the wall that he won't get the playing time he was promised during the recruiting process. IF we make contact, would love to scoop him up but chances are .001%. Much...

    St. Louis Cardinals 2015 Season

    Nothing but respect for JHey. Gave us a good year. Still very good OF available on the market. Do you think we go after Davis now along with Gordon? Still got a lot of money laying around ;)

    St. Louis Cardinals 2015 Season

    I agree with you jrich. Hope Heyward deal is wrapped up shortly since Price went elsewhere. Wouldn't mind Zobrist either.
