Wow 7 days till Ayo signs....hopefully.

What's the latest on BPJ?

Let's not start this.

 

[OWWDig]

Let's not start this.

Our fan base is rightfully grizzled and beaten down, so I get the constant hedging...

That being said, I cannot wait to celebrate Ayo's signing and I look forward to seeing him play on the court. This kid and family did exactly in words and actions what we've pined for for so long - stayed loyal to our state school and emphatically believe we can win @UI.

This season begins the upward climb, and I'm over-the-moon with the thought of watching these guys over the next few years:
Smith
Ayo
DaMonte
Trent
TJL
Finke
Black
AJ
Gregggggggg

Who's Next??
ILL!!

 

[Goldtop]

I've still got a year of eligibility.

Are your growth plates still open though

 

[Illwinsagain]

I am guessing that this month's thread will not have over 1.7M views.

Correct - we have "moved on" but not with the prior enthusiasm.

 

[IlliniJim20]

I think I have four years of eligibility left, but unfortunately I think my growth plates are closed and shrinking

Too many other plates

I don't want to speak for anybody else but I'm more enthused now than I was two weeks ago.

 

[westms77]

I'm more worried about your hamstrings

 

[Future Walk-On]

I'm more worried about your hamstrings

I am more concerned on whether or not he fits BU's system.

This is kinda what I was sayin above. I'm ready to get this thing started!!

I'd be worried if I'd fit the uniforms!

You should be Ok. There's a pill for that....it's purple.

I think I fit BU's system well in that I can act as the non example. I would be good for regular teachable moments for the rest of the players.

To the treadmill for you!!!

 

[Renegade19]

Classic!

Same. If you would have told me 2-3 weeks ago that we would have Ayo and nobody else, (not knowing all the drama with THT would happen), I would have been on board with that.

God forbid we talk about an actual potential recruit.

Your trolling has reached an elite level. It is difficult to troll 80% of the time, and have people bite on over 50% of your troll posts.

TC quit trying so hard to get your post count to 10,000. You will never catch Kramer:

I hear once you get over 10,000 posts you get banned.

I actually wouldn't be opposed to Finke being on this team. If Underwood thinks he use him then take him.
