But he very well could fail as a coach.
Howard will not fail in Chicago.

ok, but we can hope he fails at Michigan and then maybe failing in Chicago will take care of itself.Howard will not fail in Chicago.
Wasn't everybody?To you old timers, wasn't Howard headed to UI originally??

MUCK FICHIGAN!ok, but we can hope he fails at Michigan and then maybe failing in Chicago will take care of itself.
I don't think we could afford anybody in their recruiting class of 1991.To you old timers, wasn't Howard headed to UI originally??
Howard, Ellis, and Martin were all headed to Illinois until Satan Pearl got his claws on Illinois' success.I don't think we could afford anybody in their recruiting class of 1991.
Can't respond, Can't make that status admission. Aren't the 'old guys' from "the war" . . . sorry we can't even define 'the war".To you old timers, wasn't Howard headed to UI originally??
If he fails, it will likely be after 5 years of poaching “our recruits”.But he very well could fail as a coach.

More likely, IMO, is that history/precedent suggests that he will not be successful.Howard has no college coaching experience or no head-coaching experience. That will likely be precedent setting if he is successful.
Pearl had nothing to do with Laphonso Ellis not going to Illinois.Howard, Ellis, and Martin were all headed to Illinois until Satan Pearl got his claws on Illinois' success.
Sorry, these kind of posts are for the current Recruiting Thread. This is the Recruiting Thread from 30 years ago.
Burnett and Steward would not be a bad start.If he fails, it will likely be after 5 years of poaching “our recruits”.
The reason for the parenthesis. I’m just saying he will recruit Chicago very well and take players we wanted even if he fails as a head coach, which I doubt.Ayo? who else has been "our recruit" and still come here? in today's climate it seems that these localized connections are pretty far down on the list of importance.
Next year is a huge recruiting year for us. That’s one of the reasons I’m concerned about having unfilled rides now. Hitting a few more targets this year would have taken some of the pressure off the 20 class.Burnett and Steward would not be a bad start.
I'm not sure what you mean but Digger was definitely negative recruiting us.Pearl had nothing to do with Laphonso Ellis not going to Illinois.
Fine, that was Digger Phelps. I should've amended my post to include Phelps and Knight.Pearl had nothing to do with Laphonso Ellis not going to Illinois.
Piper on the radio mentioned a Rivals article about which recruits Howard should prioritize. Number 1, Adam Miller.....The reason for the parenthesis. I’m just saying he will recruit Chicago very well and take players we wanted even if he fails as a head coach, which I doubt.

Just because Howard might prioritize him doesn't mean he is going there....I have no worries about Miller's recruitment.This makes me think were going to miss out on all the A tier recruits and then because we haven't been recruiting B guys like the Chaminade kid we are going to end up with a lot of open spaces to take a lot of fliers.
Hope that's not how it plays out
I wish I were as confident in Miller-to-Illinois as you are. He would be a natural transition from Ayo for sure!Just because Howard might prioritize him doesn't mean he is going there....I have no worries about Miller's recruitment.
