So Podz and his family are doing a self visit to the University this weekend and it hasn't or barely been spoken of. Did the coaches have any interaction? Did they go to TOHP this morning? Bad weather for visit. Did he commit before leaving?

We used to have a person on this board whose personal crusade was to ensure that everyone knew that the correct name of the restaurant is "The Original Pancake House."

This post is in his/her honor.

Instead we got 8 pages of whether AM is good enough to start at UK plus examples of helicoptering parents. Priorities, priorities........

Adam Miller is actually transferring to Bradley because of his Peoria pride

Somebody tell Dan the Ban Man that TheBattleAward needs a one month respite for that post.

Dan has a tolerance for bad puns that can only be explained by the sheer volume of people he would have to ban.

The NBA draft will be held in late July. They will soon announce the deadlines for returning to school. Once we get those dates we will have a cleared grasp on Kofi's deadline to return.

Per NCAA rules, student-athletes can participate in the NBA draft process and still return to school if they withdraw their name from the draft pool by July 19.

my guess he will be equivalent to Trent in terms of overall production. Better offensively but worse defensively.

Plummer is not a bad defender. 76th percentile on defense. On offense, he doesn’t turn the ball over. He will not be a true playmaker but he handles the ball well.

Our own JCL has made NCAA history!

They were here yesterday. They did not want it publicized. They did not want to bump into players. They could not see coaches. He is from Wisconsin so weather is not a factor. They wanted a true self tour.

sure he may be a fine defender but doubtful he is asked to be a stopper like Trent was asked to be. Would love to be proved wrong

Yes, they visited the Dairy Farm.

And you should add.......”Walton was a Top 10 (probably Top 5) NCAA basketball player of all-time.”

Edit: I decided to google. #4 by Bleacher Report. Started his career 73-0 with two Natty’s. Oft-injured once he was in the NBA.

He did win at least one NBA Title as Portland's stud in 1977. He might have picked up a second as a bench/role player with Boston during the Bird era.....Injuries completely derailed him. Also, by far the worst announcer I've ever listened to.

That means the parents are definitely interested in the U of I. The problem is, as much as I love the U of I, the campus is not in the same beautiful
ball game as U of W in Madison. Hopefully, that will not be an issue with mom and dad.

I don't think campus sight seeing is incredibly high on their priority list.

This was Podz and family's 2nd visit to C/U. I'll be surprised if it is not Illinois on 4/14. Go Illini

He'll soon be #5 when Hutch takes #1

Belo just tweeted about plummer, he maybe onto something

 

['16caine]

25 years old, sure hope he at least has one degree out of it all.

Smart dude. I was a senior when he entered college. Would love to have stayed that long

And maybe a retirement plan.

Since he isn’t considering UW, I don’t think we have to worry about that comparison.
