I have to say I am a little nervous that Walker hasn't been locked in yet. I don't think he is definitely gone, but there really might be a problem if BU doesn't say Walker is staying during his press conference tomorrow.
The DePaul offer is a game changer.

Yeah, it's a little weird.
WRT other staff hires. I know JW will make the funds available for a quality staff. The fact that we didn't completely break the bank hiring BU means there's likely more available for asst coaches.

Per my sources, Jamall Walker is not a done deal yet for Illinois, but things are looking good. #illini

Keep an eye on Florida State assistant & Chicago native Dennis Gates as a potential assistant coach hire for Brad Underwood's #Illini staff.

I would assume the scoop on Gates is just simply because he followed Whitman on twitter. But I agree, the question is why? Hes been at FSU for 6 years and they seem to have a pretty good thing going on down there. The only connection I see is he coached at NIU for a bit, was even promoted to associate head coach there. Also, his younger brother coaches at Northwestern.

Whitney Young graduate, led WY to state title along with Quentin Richardson and Cordell Henry. I can tell you that Gates has been very active in AAU and is very well liked by the powerful HS and AAU programs in the state.
Building a staff of guys with no connection or relationship with Underwood concerns me. Beckman-esque. Someone tell me why it's ok.
