He’s a Hurley. I can’t like him.

Stupid post. Someone had to say it

Tracking tail can be lots of fun, just saying
I was hoping we didn’t get Storr.
I think that is the single most important idea to keep in mind with all recruiting.
We don’t need him anymore. OA is coming and he will be good for bringing in at least two starters.
I wouldn’t go quite that far for me. But I wasn’t crazy about him, so not torn up at all with the “miss.” While might not end up with a better player, could very well end up with a better player for Illini.
I feel sorry for our opponents next year. This Illini team is going to be so good that it won’t be
fair.
Where did this Illinois is penny pinching narrative come from? Because we didn't want to give Storr 1 mill?, and get his girlfriend a scholarship on the women's team she didn't earn, not including all the other things not talked about? We had him, his camp changed the parameters beyond our willingness to pay.
Man, you could not be more wrong on this. The MLB playoffs are a crapshoot, a la the NCAA tournament. The A's under Beane, before other teams realized what he was doing, VASTLY outperformed their payroll during the regular season. They were absolutely incredible from 2000-2003, including winning 102 and 103 games in back to back seasons.
The OP was not saying that Illinois should or will pinch pennies. They were simply saying that missing on a player (when a budget is involved) is often times less damaging that overpaying for a player.
Last night letting the dog out I noticed 4 contrails coming from a large jet above. Knew it would be something rare since it was a quad jet. Immediately flight tracked it, was rare Airbus 380 flying from Dallas to London (British Airways)
Flightradar24 is my favorite. Amazing level of detail. Son went to Kenya on a mission trip and knew everything practically to the second
The other thing that I didn't really care for is that he'd have been coming from a close in-conference rival. That just feels wrong to me.

Well said. Agree upgrading to OA will be the biggest get this off season.

With the new AC mix including OA, obviously BU decides all schemes, but who is the offense and defense X’s and O’s guys likely to be next year? While the pro style match up offense works with the right chess pieces, with all the money we’re spending on ACs, certainly one of them is a tactical expert?? Brad’s always studying new schemes. our defensive scheme needs an enema and the O needs to be more sophisticated at times. Thoughts anyone? Anyone agree or disagree? Love to hear it honestly.

Based on offensive success last year I'm guessing Tyler0440 keeps working on the offense
