CJ Fredrick’s uncle says Iowa is being “childish” about transfer decision: “No school ever tampered” - NewsBreak
From the minute news broke late Sunday evening that Iowa sharpshooter CJ Fredrick was leaving the program and entering the transfer portal, Hawkeye fans took to social media to not only berate him for his decision, but accuse the Kentucky coaching staff of tampering. A simple search of Fredrick’s...

Storr is the epitome of why I think we keep Chin.

Don’t worry. Iowa will fix it. A thorough investigation followed by firing the popcorn maker at Carver-Hawkeye who was clearly the root cause, and they move on.Speaking of Kentucky... check this out..

Somewhere Fran is screaming at someone unrelated to any of this and probably calling them a cheater.....
Slim, it was my dorm room freshman year in 1983 - 38 years ago. We only missed each other by 13 years. My freshman year the football team went to the Rose Bowl and the basketball team lost in the Elite Eight ironically to Kentucky at Rupp Arena (the Dickie Beale "no travel" call). I thought Rose Bowls and Elite Eights would be the norm

Absolutely love what JW is doing to make this happen. If they leave, then that really sucks but we did our best.

I really hope that BU appreciates this, and doesn't ask for a raise, if they are paying that much for assistants to help him be as good as he can be. But what do I know?

I’m sure a couple of assistants around the nation have taken notice and reached out to be the backup plans
Well said.

Just for those of you doubting bass, he did a QNA on his Instagram story yesterday and someone asked why he chose Illinois. He responded with: “everything”

Based on his mom's twitter activity alone, I am highly suspect of this. She was liking/retweeting a bunch of different Illinois-related material today. That, plus him being an Illinois boy, plus us being one of the first (the first?) high-major to offer him, all suggests one assistant is going to make or break his commitment. Guess we'll see.

As your unofficial lawyer, I'll need to take that contract home with me and look it over.

Dont worry. it's an elite contractAs your unofficial lawyer, I'll need to take that contract home with me and look it over.
We just finished the season ranked #2 and won the BTT.
If JW doesn't give BU a decent pay bump, I'd be surprised.
Would Illinois counter-counter offer or is that our last offer?
So, does AO's money go to Chen if he leaves for KY?

I would think the head coach makes the big difference, not worried.........yet.
I know that obtaining actual correct information on an internet site is rather difficult. So far in this thread, OA is leaving, OA is officially gone,
with new offer OA is staying, my guess is that at the current moment OA is thinking about all of this. He would be a dam fool not to consider all of
his alternatives, but does anyone really know what is the current status of OA's decision. I am not really worried about it because I trust that BU
will find quality replacements if OA and Chin leave. As long as BU is not in the market looking, I really don't care. Just curious if anyone actually knows
what the truth of what is happening.

Most importantly, thoughts and prayers with the Clarke family. Very sad to see this.
At this point, it appears that Coach Antigua can’t go wrong. Josh Whitman and Underwood have done everything they can. Of course I’m hoping Antigua stays. But, I’ll respect his decision 100%. Illinois should be grateful they have had him for 4 years with a shot at more.
Same goes for Coach Coleman. They are clearly very good at their jobs and this is the result. We’re putting up a fight for our staff and they deserve it. Excited for what’s ahead.
Go Illini

Watch it not and we get shunned by CPL like we did for hiring Lon.
I think it is Chin, not Chen, and if Chin gets a KY offer, he'll probably also get a counter from JW, just a guess I'm not an insider.
