OkWaiting and not jumping to conclusions is a good start.
Yeah, that's worked so well for so many of us on Loyalty. lolWaiting and not jumping to conclusions is a good start.

Are we certain that Drew Timme actually makes it to campus for one of his official visits? Looks like last weekend he visited Gonzaga?
Always a possibility but I still believe we get Shannon. No new information, but based on what I have heard on the situation a couple of months ago, I believe he is ours to lose. If we do lose Shannon, I'd be worried.
Other than Shannon, we desperately need some quality additions in the frontcourt, someone who has some inside skills to complement our backcourt. Time is not our ally but we will have over a month, so too early to make predictions.

I have been off of the grid for a while, but I am wondering what impact Jacobs commitment to DePaul will have on Shannon. They are AAU teammates, DePaul is in his old neighborhood and he committed once before. I was hoping Jacobs committed after his visit to ILL.
That's a good sign, him not immediately jumping to WVA.

Yeah guys, Groce just got here, give him some time. 2014 is going to be a HUGE year, we're finally going to start getting that top talent. Just wait and see.
Shannon is what, 6’6”?
I was more just pointing out that Illinois fans seem to have more blind faith than people on this board seem to think they do. Over the years, despite all results to the contrary, we still think we're just about to turn the corner and take off again. I count myself among those idiots. All off season I dwell on the negatives, but as the season approaches I grasp at any positive straw I can get my hands on to convince myself we're going to be better, both on the court and in recruiting.
Add to that list that we now have a coach that has an offense let alone knows how to run one.That would be a relevant example if everything else was equal, but since Groce and Underwood are different people, their staffs are different, the recruits they are targeting are different, and the college basketball recruiting landscape is different, then I think it's rather foolish to expect that we are doomed to repeat exactly the same pattern again.
Even if all those things weren't different and only the staffs have changed, it's still pretty silly to expect the results to be identical. At the end of the day, it's perfectly reasonable to expect a coach to take a little time to make their mark.
The question shouldn't be whether or not it takes a coach some time to get things moving, but rather how much time and whether that much time is an appropriate time to wait for results.
Even though they just got a commitment from another similar wing? You are correct, it is nuts.The Shannon recruitiment has really been weird and throw in The Show to DePaul and it makes it even weirder. Corey Evans of Rivals has said that TSJ has stated that FSU is at the top of his recruitment.
