Maybe this is what was meant when it is said we are/were a sleeping giant.

Am disappointed. I used the phrase "necessary but insufficient condition" recently and you didn't bite.

Well I certainly hope your lack of attention wasn't caused by being productive!
And it's not nerdy. It's systematic.
Probably if we go back to Rupp; which I am not going to do. Calipari at UK has OA to USF snd now Barbee to CMU. Of course, Barbee was a former HC.
And we have how many since Cal got to Kentucky?
This is one of the reasons I love having the ex Illini lawyer Whitman as our AD.
We have had three HCs during that time and are basically tied with UK.
The fact we’re punching back big to keep OA and CC in Champaign should shout to the coaching community we are for real. Talented assistants should want to work here.
I'm just saying that if you go back any number of years, we aren't ahead of Kentucky. If we are, I would be shocked.
It $hout$ all right.
I feel like we need more posts with “big boy” in them. We were doing really well for a while but they trailed off and it’s getting concerning.

I play Dungeons and Dragons. Does that count?
JFGsCoffeeMug: “Little known fact: "New York, New York" by Sinatra was originally about Champaign, Illinois. But our AD at the time forced a rewrite because Sinatra wasn't an ‘Illinois guy.’"
It makes a bit of sense that a New Jersey guy might end up singing a song about New York City. But the same Jersey guy sings a famous song about... Chicago? I’m all for bringing in top talent from out of State. But who recruited this guy to sing about Chicago? What, they couldn’t get one of those great Blues singers from the South Side to do it? Outside talent, fine. We need that. But like Ayo, we gotta keep and develop some great in-State talent as well.

Been several big boy offers made in the off-season already, it's very exciting.
