If there is no backup plan then the coach isn't doing his job.Well, at the very least I hope this is a wake up call to always be ready, always be hungry. I hope we are also going a bit on the offensive here too. I would love to keep the staff intact if possible, but hopefully we are also having conversations of our own too. Given that things are clearly up in the air, all avenues need to be pursued. I hope we have a backup plan locked and loaded by the time the dust settles.
Yes, but we’ll still have our Canadian Pipeline.You lose OA, and the Caribbean connection is gone. You lose Chin, and Chicago becomes very difficult.
I seem to remember Alex legion and Dominique keller slamming Weber on their way out the door. I think "dreamkilla" was the term they used.Let's not dis players who played for us.
This is always funny to me. This is assuming you don't hire anyone new. If you hire someone from Chicago, that's covered. Then you hire someone with connections elsewhere. Not that complicated.Lon Tay asked Piper if it was time to panic. Piper said yes.

I’d argue losing AO/Chin/Kofi/Ayo/Miller all in one offseason is on par with Self leaving, except we got very little on the roster. If Curbelo leaves, this will be the worst Illini team of post 1970. Full rebuild - players, coaches etc.
Well, roughly 1400 players are looking to do just that.This. People act like guys want to transfer. Transferring is often a last resort. It's not an easy decision to leave what's comfortable.
two wrongs, etc.I seem to remember Alex legion and Dominique keller slamming Weber on their way out the door. I think "dreamkilla" was the term they used.
Not sure if they were classless or clairvoyant. Oh the dark days of ILL hoops...
Valid point. But I think it more stems from how rare of an opportunity this is. It will likely settle going forward.Well, roughly 1400 players are looking to do just that.
There is reporting that Illinois has counteroffered more than $1m a year for four years. Haven't seen an exact statement of how much over $1m per.Correction, there’s some confusion. I believe there’s 1 million on the table right now not 1.2 million but no counter from Kentucky yet. Still an aggressive offer.

Yeah there some different numbers being thrown around.There is reporting that Illinois has counteroffered more than $1m a year for four years. Haven't seen an exact statement of how much over $1m per.
Sounds like he's justifying the budget cuts at the Portland State dorms.There's coach speak, then there's whatever in the heck this is:
The 4 years is what makes it incredible. Most AC contracts are 2-3Correction, there’s some confusion. I believe there’s 1 million on the table right now not 1.2 million but no counter from Kentucky yet. Still an aggressive offer.
Guessing Whitman's made a strong a$$ offer.Any word on what we're doing to keep Chin?
