If it's starting to leak that Gentry is gone, I hope an announcement of his replacement comes soon after.
Lots of guys are interested in coaching. Lots of former Illini too. And as much as we may like them or have good memories of their time here, it does not make them the most qualified or able to come in and contribute.Need some coaches and soon. De-commits are starting. Is Brian Randle in the discussion regarding our coaching staff? Is he interested in college coaching?
First post ever. Super generic name followed by "123". Is your password also "password" by chance? Also, how are the Bluejays looking next year?I'm from Omaha and hearing that the family wants to stay. Should be finalized he stays at Creighton in the next day or so.
Brian Randle is coaching in the NBA so I assume he's qualified. Also, we keep getting turned down by those who are purportedly 'more qualified.'Lots of guys are interested in coaching.

From a Creighton board. Sounds like it's been an active week of negotiations, and we're currently not favored.Helmzy » Thu May 13, 2021 1:42 pm

Is there an Illinois bar in town? I've yet to find one.I'm from Omaha and hearing that the family wants to stay. Should be finalized he stays at Creighton in the next day or so.

My take was more that we were actively trying to compete in the UK arena, not that we would necessarily win. Either way doesn't matter, but this is getting frustrating.We will know when the ink is dry. Our own insiders were pretty high on retaining one or both of OA and CC at one time and they eventually left after an active bidding war.
Brad Underwood is still the coach and he has won everywhere he has been, including here. I’d love to see the staff come together sooner rather than late too but these are big time negotiations and decisions.
Any good news... Any....?
Interesting, especially given that we were rumored to have offered more $ per year and more years of commitment.To land Orlando Antigua and Chin Coleman from Illinois, Kentucky had to pay big
Not to continue the former coach postings, but this puts things into perspective.

So either the info about our offer that leaked was false, and we didn't actually make as strong a move to retain OA as we should have, or they took less to go to UK than they would have made staying here. Either way, not a great look. Our inability to land any of our top names so far gives me suspicions we're not actually willing to pay as much as was reported, which is disappointing if that's the case. Pure speculation on my part though.Interesting, especially given that we were rumored to have offered more $ per year and more years of commitment.
Solid first post. Much legit.Creighton dude I've been DMing with on twitter (has a couple thousand followers, apparently seems kinda keyed in?) says that Huss told him he's 100% coming back.
And just for the sake of baseless speculation and increased pearl-clutching, the rumored amounts of our offer(s) might be biting us in the nuts if everyone else now feels slighted by lower offers in comparison.So either the info about our offer that leaked was false, and we didn't actually make as strong a move to retain OA as we should have, or they took less to go to UK than they would have made staying here.
