    This was happening after Mizzou loss this year. Very happy with the quick changes to the season following that game.

    The clip that came out recently with him dunking over a kid and flexing while staring him down... I love that bulldog mindset. He is going to fit in well with the Illini because we need more than just AG doing this. Going to be some fun basketball to watch for quite a while!

    Looking ahead to 2020-2021

    While I don't like the idea of it all, I love it for the sake of the players. As mentioned on here before, if coaches can, why not players? Regardless of whether or not kids go pro, they should be able to decide where they want to go, even if that means they change their mind or feel like they...

    Looking ahead to 2020-2021

    One thing is for sure (as stated on here so many times before), winning is everything. While I would tend to agree Tev would seem most likely to transfer out of anyone, I would say that is obviously not a given. Had we finished the season like last year, and he was in the same situation, I would...

    I could be wrong, but I believe that was the coach at Oak Hill that made this statement (about places like University of Illinois not getting two players within the same year).

    Nice pick-up for them. He is so quick with nice handles and vertical. Guess it makes sense him being a 5*. I approve his rating. Ha!

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Nebraska

    Kind of wish we were going into the locker room down at this point. However, I think BU is going to light a fire in them just the same for only being up 3 at the half. Win by 15.

    Right now I just want to get the Illini back on track in this game. Feels like we came in thinking we were playing one of the last place teams in the conference tonight. Hmmmmm...

    I believe that is a "yes" and "yes".

    If true, that is kind of surprising in regards to where we stood with him before he went to Kentucky. If he is staying in college, we just make too much sense. We have a good team, and only going to keep getting better if we stay on this path. What isn't to like about our chances?

    2020 NBA Draft

    With Big10 play in full swing, I am retracting my initial statement. KC is still playing great, but I think he takes another year to develop his skills to try to make his stock greater for next year (as some here have mentioned with OA and BU influencing that decision/development). I sure hope...

    Sorry. If he develops into a big time player, there is no way he goes anywhere but Gonzaga. We all know they get all the guys with this hairstyle. ;)

    That works too. I was mainly talking about post Mizzou. Absolutely, Michigan is a great win for us! May the better days keep coming!

    Thankful for this redemption game #2. We need everything we can get after that ugly Mizzou loss. Great win tonight!

    Man, this is almost a little depressing. I don't like the talk of the Kofi days coming to an end yet. I know it's a good look for other athletes to see how we can develop and get bigs to the league, but in my perfect dream we would have Kofi 4 years and win the national championship at least...
