BU looks to be in pretty good shape....starting to look Fletched...lol
Coke jinx....agree with everything everyone has said but for some reason when i first glanced at the pic my first thought is someone photoshopped BU's head onto Dolph Lundgrens' body....it's been a long week of work my friends
Yes, please.
Beat me to it.Kendall might be my all-time favorite Illini. Would be awesome to have his son play for us.
Same here. Egwu and then Gill, keep the pipeline flowing.I'm fortunate enough to be both a U of I alum and an Ignatius alum. It would be amazing to watch Phoenix Gill become a superstar twice over.
And maybe Barron too, depending on his senior year.Same here. Egwu and then Gill, keep the pipeline flowing.
Just saw this on twitter. is he reading our boards?
those with knowledge about how the sausage is made:
Actually, they offer an accelerated program that awards a HS diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate, JD, MD, and DO in just 12 months! I read it on the innernet somewhere!The only school giving him the chance to graduate with a doctorate in just one year.
12 months max, if you're really slow--Paper courses.Actually, they offer an accelerated program that awards a HS diploma, Associate’s, Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorate, JD, MD, and DO in just 12 months! I read it on the innernet somewhere!
I’d have to imagine driving would be quicker, easier and way cheaper. But then again, I’m not the head ball coach.those with knowledge about how the sausage is made:
normally, when BU has to come up to Chicago area , does he just get a driver to take him up in a Tahoe or similar or does UI fly him up to Midway on a small private jet?
Gill has always been my favorite Illini. Cool story, I graduated from college, not Illinois, in 88 and my best friend from college who was from Chicago actually got a job in Champaign and I was up there hanging out with him one weekend. Anyway, we were wandering around the campus and decided to go shoot some hoops and Kendall was in there at the time. Well, we got to talking and my buddy opened his mouth and told Kendall he should play one on one against me cause I was pretty decent. I laughed but he said ok. Well we played to 15, I got the ball first and made a couple of shots but then missed. That was it. Never got the ball back.Kendall might be my all-time favorite Illini.

Couple more than most of us would have gotten! Kendall was damn good.Gill has always been my favorite Illini.

But have any of our insiders hinted this?Probably. But he's being fed by insider(s), just like the rest of us.
I'd be shocked if we get him. I know he has serious skills, but I'm skeptical of a 6'9 kid with a 6'7 wingspan and a 25" vertical leap. Though the latter can be improved to a certain degree.But have any of our insiders hinted this?
I know someone mentioned TA was having talks with Emoni's camp but being close to done is a different animal...
so your saying there's a chance? (sorry, I'll show myself out)For the 100th time(at least from me)…..Illinois will not be taking Bates.
The Bates talk starts here. Indy's gif is of a player with the last name of Bates.But have any of our insiders hinted this?

So the plan is a single backup big with our options rn being one of Perrin, Haugh, and Butz?For the 100th time(at least from me)…..Illinois will not be taking Bates.
Butz is the 3rd option of the 3.So the plan is a single backup big with our options rn being one of Perrin, Haugh, and Butz?
Any update on our pursuit of these 3? Who is the staff prioritizing?

Orrrrrr we just took Mayer instead Think we got a guy that fits our new system better. Sure, if Nance wanted to come, I would have welcomed him with open arms. However, I have watched both players and Mayer is MUCH more familiar with how to run and gun. Not saying Nance can't, but Matt has...www.illinoisloyalty.com
Ant's original Bates tweet is now deleted, but Indy follows it up with this, saying he knows where Ant got his info:

This doesn't mean it's close to done, but yes, it's been hinted at.
Edit: And 0440 is obviously of a differing opinion to Ant, lol. At this point, I'm legit curious to see what the heck Emoni does.
