When did that happen? (We're talkin' about Kalkbrenner, right?)
Moments like these.....
July 15th 2019. lol I don't know exactly when it happened.
Looking at the Grid...Do we all realize that by next year we will have at least the following:
6-2 TF/6-3 DW Upperclassmen guards with probably Miller at 6-3 as well. Robinson or Moore would fit well as add's.
6-5 AG/6-6 TJ Upperclassmen in system as well as 2 other 6-6 experienced wings also. Kasubke best option for backup imo here...
6-9 GB with 6-8 BBV as well on the wings and inside. Hylton would be really only viable option.
7-0 KC with 6-10 JH and possibly 6-10 BK? and now probably 7-0 Kalkbrenner...that will be a strong 3-4 inside players when all is said and don
I am starting to think BU does not like not having size....for a mobile system that is alot of height (Flying ILLINI type) and I am liking it...add 1-2 other guards to the picture then we are set for approx 2-4 years. If you look at the Grid, the 2022 year is very scarce so far, as it should be. The exception is by then ALL of our bigs will be experienced and strong in the B1G which you need regardless of system.

Is that when Stanford offered?
This season can't start fast enough. We need to show this year's product on the floor.
But, but, but the Trinity Pipeline... I guess it's a good thing we have Hamlin and have loaded up on the sit one play two guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So at this point for 2020 it really is Miller or bust.
It doesn't have anything to do Stanford.
Trinity "pipeline" is fine.

Yes, but it will be too late for the kids signing during early period. Considering the vast majority of our recruits lately came way past the early signing period, maybe my point is moot.

Why are some fans surprised that kids (and their camps) have minds of their own? Never ceases to amaze me.

Can you elaborate? I've talked to some friends who claim to have connections, and they said IL is still out front with him (as recently as last week). That's why I'm surprised by your comment. *shrug*
Sorry, should have added the /s.
Yeah, I'm a little lost here. Can you explain?

For reason(s) unknown, Kalkbrenner has soured on us. Not sure if the reasons are important (they might be, obviously). Far better to know now, than right before the signing period.
The article I linked also talks about him considering the NBA.
This all the way. The less hat debacles we have the better.
But this just intensifies our flame out fall recruiting seasons and only makes my list of questions grow longer. Still only August, but yeesh, bring someone home BU.
We are talking here about teenagers, aren’t we ? Today, he loves Veronica. Tomorrow, he’ll love Betty. And in a few days time, he’ll love Jughead. He who laughs last . . .
Agreed. However, requesting an explanation is not the same as expecting an explanation.

I don't know. illini0440 seems pretty well connected. I just wish he, or someone, could tell us why these recruitments seem to go south so often with this staff. Is it the coaching staff's temperament? Facilities? Politics? If it's politics, why do we seem to be on the bad end of so much of it? What does the staff make of these losses, and do they see a problem with their recruiting? Are they sticking to their methods or are they trying to adjust and react as these losses pile up?
The argument that there is a logjam of talent at certain positions just doesn't hold water. There's plenty of talent at lots of schools that doesn't seem to scare kids off.
