I'll be happy with Jones and Nance. Rolling the bones on our frosh PGs is tempting, but I'd err on the side of caution.
Any word on this guy? Looks like he is unlikely to get drafted and from Baltimore. He looks like David Jones but slightly better in every way. A little bigger, scored and rebounded a little more, shot a little better, and his team won a little more. Wonder if he would head back to Marquette or if Chester might be talking to him.
I am truly shocked!
Not really. For some reason, TSJ seems to want to play for the Illini but not really.
There's a reason you have to take 3 or 4 baths and brush your teeth with turpentine after dealing with the Irvins. So glad our connection is with Meanstreets now.
What a way to steal the kids announcement. MIF is a joke.
Why on earth did they do that? Internet clout?
Why do people on here do the same? People want to be the first to know or tell secrets.
Wouldn’t that be tampering? Even if they initiate it?
We need at least some experiencevor PG. Ramsey still in the mix?
I suppose like many others, I have been a daily Loyalty lurker, yet never posted over the years until today. I also happen to be a booster. I realize this topic has been discussed many times before but I have genuinely been torn and wanted to give these new NCAA rules some time. However, between NIL & this endless portal/recruiting chaos, I have decided I am done in regards to any future donations. This may not be the right thread, but I wonder how many others are feeling the same. If these kids no longer value an Illinois degree and no longer demonstrate LOYALTY to the program, coaches, fanbase, etc., why should we boosters continue to support this program? In my mind, Illinois was the role model, always leading the conference in terms of actual education of athletes. I know we are all desperate to win a title, but at what cost? Yes, I know the NCAA changed the rules & this is just the new normal that we can do nothing about. Yet, it seems we are now teaching greed and impatience as values to our student athletes, most whom will never play beyond college level. I will always be a fan but can no longer donate to a program or system lacking integrity.
