Can't keep you off the sidewalk.

They might, actually...there was already a line of police caution tape right outside the store/at the top of the subway stairs on my way in to the office this morning (may not have been related) and there are always police/security managing crowds and moving people along when they do big sneaker releases at the store because people queue up super early.

This is great. It proves there are more than two types of people.

1. Glass half full.
2. Glass half empty.
3. Glass overflowing with water yet, somehow, still dying of thirst.

4. Glass half naked.

You haven't heard of UUWFUC? That's weird. They are on par with us academically.

I think I was misquoted.

I said UWFUC not UUWFUC... because it totally matters.

Why we can get 20ish guards but not any 200ish bigs

I just want us to recruit some bigs. This imbalanced squad reminds me so much of Groce era...

Ayo plus anyone over 6'8 200 pounds would be a successful class. The wings we recruited and missed on have no chance to start ahead of Ayo/Smith/kn in the next 3 years so who cared about them.

Get 2 unranked guys (one of them has to be taller than 6'8) and RS them. Try to get Ayo. If no, find a late Boomer or transfer in the spring.

Is there an echo in here?

And there it is!!

HTT should listen to BU's media day clips in the 2017-18 thread. He wants mobile bigs with skills. Doesn't necessarily need the big space eater.

Please stop. As has been stated many times when this concern is brought up, we can be successful with the bigs we have and hopefully get in the next class. Enjoy the day and hopefully a recruiting victory!

Great response. Quality guards (especially PGs) much more important in the college game. We'll be alright with who we have upfront. And we'll add more.

isn't Leron the 2nd highest ranked recruit on the team ?? and isnt he a big on the team ???

Fact!

Hmmm, might be a software bug.

Might be me.

It's probably me.

Perfectly said, err, written. :thumb:

I don't think that's even a real university

They are in the same league as University of Iowa State and the University of Virginia Tech. That league is growing.

Does it include the University of Illinoizze? Or is that a different league?

Glass half full
Glass half empty
Glass smashed on the floor in a fit of rage

The crappiest part today is that I have to give a technical talk at 6pm CDT and it's really iffy whether or not I will be able to see the announcement. Also, I was up until 2:30 am preparing said talk, so I am barely awake and hope I don't simply babble my way through it.

Fact!

Actually I think Leron is the highest ranked player on our roster. He's 38 on Rivals.

Just to clarify, announcement is 7pm central?

I am pretty sure that is correct, and therefore that whoever programmed 247's site is a dunce because its countdown is based on my current timezone.

[Illini4Reel]

Does anyone know if WCIA's live stream will only be online? Or our they breaking into live tv?
