Have a really great friend who is an Arkansas fan and he is sick about this... Is Muss pretty much a done deal to USC you think?? Thanks in advance!Muss ...
No one voluntarily moves to Arkansas
Obviously you've never visited. Don't sleep on the North-Central and Northwest areas of the state.
You do you, Boynton. Michigan gonna be a challenge for ya.
Arkansas is growing like crazy, beautiful landscape. I hope to see BU retire as the Illinois coach!
I lived there for three years. The Autumns were beautiful, the scenery majestic and the racism casual.
This definitely sucks - they have some really good transfers in the portal - Javon Small would have been a great get- smart move by May
I would not have been opposed to Brad letting someone go to make room for Boynton, our defense needs enough improving to justify that. And it wouldn’t be just for the current transfers, Boynton is a really good recruiter as well

He elected to stay at the superior job the first time, and I think he will again!

Strong-@$$ prediction!
I doubt K State is ever going to match salaries with IL so no
Great stuff!
Swiping Brad from OkSt was an absolute masterclass by Josh. Their AD thought they could apply pressure by not extending Brad's contract until reaching its final year. Instead, it made the buyout affordable and gave Josh the chance to say "Brad, I won't play that game, you'll get the runway and support you need to be successful."
I don't know how many college sports fans are stuck with ADs who make them grind their teeth, but I think Illinois fans will be happy for a long time. Fingers crossed.
I have heard 100% done ...
Not true ... His agent did but Brad did not speak with anyone from USC directly ...
That is where I think it winds up ... It'd be a no brainer for me ...
The fact he doesn't have a job yet is insane ...
People think Brad is about to leave when he has a five star point guard lined up to join what should be a loaded roster next year. At his age? Come on now.
Well, the 5-star PG could follow him to wherever he ends up.
I'm not saying he's leaving for this job, and the age certainly is a factor that hopefully helps us along with I assume Brad has to be thrilled that Tyler was able to coach right with him and be promoted here, but also get the some of the same vibes of Bill Self putting his name out for Arkansas and other jobs even before he ends up going to KU. It's not like there weren't the same rumors last offseason about BU and Texas and such. Nobody should assume he's just staying at Illinois until he retires. Maybe he does, great, but I'd say that's far from a done deal.
Hope it's just BU being smart to maximize his next raise at Illinois.
But it certainly adds another layer to this whole stretch while we're trying to figure out next year's Illini roster, and players like Ty and Luke trying to figure out what's best for them, if the coach also is trying to figure out what's best for him, how could Ty and Luke know for sure what's best for them.....crazy time for everyone, fans included.
He could, but to Manhattan Kansas? I am not worried at all. That ship sailed when they went after tang imo.

Lol Brad's agent is hungry. I couldn't even fathom how much it would suck if that happened. Very glad we shouldn't have to worry about that possibility.
