Tshiebwe coming here at this point is like going off Niagra Falls in a wooden barrel and surviving.

According to Wikipedia, the mortality rate for the daredevil attempts over the falls is approximately 25%. I am no mathematician but doesn't that mean 75% survived? So good odds. Not that I personally would want to test those odds in a wooden barrel. ;)

Good to hear the visit and bonding for Oscar went well, in light of what centers the other teams have. Seems to be more of PF, although with 3 pt shooting and positionless play, maybe just maybe we have a chance....Shannon, EJ and Oscar would bring us all the way back!

Enjoying a Sunday morning coffee and listening to music. Thought I'd catch up on the recruiting news on here. As I read on our chances, Tom Petty "Even the Loosers" comes on. Had a good laugh on the timing. Maybe its a sign.

I just want at least one them to announce their presser in the next day or two. For now that's all I need

The thing with Mizzou is they lack guards. The two best players jontay and tilmon will be gone by spring. Illinois will have a better situation and offense for EJ.

Get TS and I'm happy but we still need more. Get TS and EJ and we're back, baby! Get one or both of those guys plus OT and I'm starting to plan trips to future Final Four locations.

Remember...The waiting is the hardest part. So while our recruiting under coach Underwood may just be learning to fly, I believe that in the tough recruiting battles he wont back down. And while our status will be free falling if we don't land any of this weekend's visitors, we'll still be running down a dream of a national title...because we still don't know how it feels.

(I'll see myself out now.)

You sound like Mizzou fans last year. Pump the brakes.
