He is from Deefield so pretty sure his family could afford the tuition.Unless he is told they don't see a place for him anymore. Read, we need your scholly for someone who will be in the rotation.

Sometimes I swear you just drop these in here to see how fast the forum spirals out of control.I was just made aware of the possibility and confirmed that it was legit ... Not a done deal yet.
Success brings suitors.Deja Vu all over again.

The kid gets no say in where he goes?Why would anyone pay tuition when a free ride is out there? I bleed O & B but I wouldn’t be against my kid leaving Illinois for a free ride at a good school - and I can afford tuition but why would I pay if my kid can get a free ride at a comparable school?

Not everyone just takes whatever is free. It’s not like you are comparing the price of 2 apples. There are other factors besides money
If you can find a comparable school. He likely is not going to start or play much at a P5 so it would be a mid-major. How many of those have an academic reputation to match illinois?Why would anyone pay tuition when a free ride is out there?

I think Belo can attack and get to the rim but the issue is he just seems to miss more lay ups than he makes. He seems to get to the rim in transition with ease but misses lay ups.The thing about Ty is even if the shot isn’t there he really seems like a guy who can at least attack off the bounce and/or create for others at the wing position. RJ is the only one we have at the moment who can do that.
Let's lay off the kid. I'm not comparing him to Dee, but I remember Dee not being able to hit a layup to save his life his freshman year. Every player grows at a different pace.I think Belo can attack and get to the rim but the issue is he just seems to miss more lay ups than he makes.

And if your kid is enjoying themselves even if they aren’t playing in the games?Not for many people.
Why would anyone pay tuition and room and board at a school where their kid doesn’t play at all when he can actually get experience and play elsewhere?
If he were my kid I’d see if he could get a free ride at Northwestern, Vandy, Colgate, Stanford, etc. and actually play and get a great degree, arguably better than U of I (my undergrad is from U of I).

Think today you’ve got them to defcon 4.
Wasn't like that last year. We never got to see the real Curbelo this year with missing several games and practices this year because of injuries and illness. Everyone saw what was coming this year till those things happened. Thats why he was a preseason All American.I think Belo can attack and get to the rim but the issue is he just seems to miss more lay ups than he makes.

I wasn’t intending to suggest I don’t believe you, more pointing out the hysteria that goes on here. Good assistant coaches have connections throughout college basketball, which means they get brought up a lot when coaches get hired. I’m not worried until something happensI’ve known about it for a little while … Just didn’t want to put it out there until after the season out of respect to all parties involved.
Kenny has a long list of candidates but TA is definitely up near the top.
Coleman obviously has potential but im a little more skeptical on the odds of him reaching it since he didnt improve his shot much this year and his IQ lacks at times but you never know.
Just a note, defcon 5 is the lowest state of readiness and defcon 1 is max. I think you meant he got us to defcon 2.Sometimes I swear you just drop these in here to see how fast the forum spirals out of control.

I am not attacking him. I took up for him. Someone said the only players that can attack the basket is RJ and I said it's not true! What do you think Belo would say about if he did a good job finishing at the rim or shooting 3s. I think that would be two of the things he would say he must improve on and I think he can. I'm not attacking him. He is well aware of it too and he is awesome at getting to the rim and that's the hard partLet's lay off the kid.

Don't see it. They can't rescind his scholly . All they can do is tell him that his role is limited (and he already knows that). Ride it out. Get your free degree and benefit from your Illini network.Unless he is told they don't see a place for him anymore. Read, we need your scholly for someone who will be in the rotation.
It’s been a long day. OopsJust a note, defcon 5 is the lowest state of readiness and defcon 1 is max. I think you meant he got us to defcon 2.
Hope notIs Adam miller coming back?
Do we have any contract terms for Asst. Coaches to deter poaching and such (buy-out clauses, etc.)?I’ve known about it for a little while … Just didn’t want to put it out there until after the season out of respect to all parties involved.
