I think the progress, the attitude change, the expectations that something good is happening-instead of the constant woe is us, will help us dramatically with drawing better talent in.

Kudo's to Illinois for hiring Underwood
Kudo's for the current players buying in
Kudo's to current recruiting class for coming and helping to make the change.

WE are getting better and recruits will see and have to see how much fun it can be.

Liddell and Okoro I think are much more likely than they were and Ayo wont have to help much either imo.

No doubt. I’m still drooling thinking about Ayo. Also, to think TJL may lead the 2nd unit? Yes please.

Going to be interesting for Te'Jon next year with Ayo coming in and Trent Frazier looking good so far.

Didn't Underwood play a lineup with 4 PG/CG recently? I think there will be plenty of minutes to go around.

I think he used a lineup of TJL, Trent, Monte, Smith, and Kip against Marshall. Semi-related to that point, also thought it was pretty cool how Finke was the perimeter guy on the weakside two man action against Marshall. Truly positionless basketball.

I have been waiting for a lot of years for another team like that here too. I really hope it happens.:)

Wow, I thought that was a 9 ft rim at first. Then the white kid taking the ball out came into frame and I guess I didn't realize Liddell was that big....

6'7" according to 247, but I thought he looked bigger than that.

He looks like a solid 6-9" and mobile and big...that kid is B1G ready right now!!

He makes Kipper and Black both look small imo!!!:chief:

“The white kid” is his best friend! Not sure EJ would like that reference!! :D
