I think it's a chin/underwood tag team effort
You are correct in pointing out Chin's involvement. I used the term "Underwood" here as a surrogate for the collective staff. Could have been more specific.
Then maybe he's dialed in at XU too. Lots of crossover between those two as far as connections. I think it's interesting that THT and Ayo both seem to have serious Illinois and XU interest but aren't going to play together.

Damn. Forgot about those 2. I still remember Fightingillinut. Was great with stats. And of course 4ever and all his reincarnations. Kingmal another good one.
Heard that Dee Brown was back on campus today and sat down w BU and staff to chat for a little while. Hopefully he has got all of his personal issues straightened out and maybe looking to get involved again.
Recruiting is fluid. At the time it was likely. Never set it stone until the pen hits the paper.

I hope this true on all fronts. Dee is my all time favorite Illini
No, but it's happening.

Besides taking some time out to Coach, when did he leave??
Resigned in October 2016.

Yes of course, I was referring to him still residing and being "active" in the area

Chin took the reigns to get it going. Underwood has since taken over. He is the one putting together the development plans for Ayo and meeting with Ayo's dad. Chin is very involved, but he isn't the lead now

Considering the source, is this statement a foreshadowing one?

I would expect most AAU coaches circulate with the local universities. I'm sure Dee will maintain a great relationship with our staff, among others. Hopefully his AAU team and program becomes a good pipeline for us.
Not entirely sold that this is a positive thing considering all the politics involved. Isn't the main reason Chin is on the staff to win Chicago recruitment battles, especially recruitments tied o the Irvin's?
Hiring chin makes Underwood trustworthy to the Irvin's, and it's highly doubtful chin is completely uninvolved. But player development plans and showing fit in the system are also the responsibility of the head coach. Getting us in the door and initial relationships, that's assistants.
Maybe this photo from last month might shed some light on Dee's situation.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I do not know what happened with Dee, not going to speculate out of respect for Dee.
The picture TCTORNADO posted with Self is just showing that Dee is making the rounds, much like he was just on campus with Underwood. It is his responsibility as an AAU coach, we shouldn't read more into it than that, IMHO
Nope not at all. I think Dee realizes when you lose a $200,000/year job that you need to get income from somewhere. Just rumored that he is looking to Self for help. Currently, coaching for the Irvins.
When one See's that you resources for good recruits out of Chicago is being taken away, one sometimes tries to take out some insurance. Wouldn't you think Dee was a little put out about the new staff coming in didn't give him a sniff about being considered? Self shows us some BS he would do to insure his world wouldn't get rocked. Dee should have known better. Probably lucky that BU is considering any time to chat with him.
For Dee's sake hope all gets smoothed over. Many people like him and want him with
