I’m not sure what to tell you 🤷🏻‍♂️. There’s over 1300 kids in the portal. Plenty of high end guys. Also Coleman and TSJ have been working out at ubben with Fletch and the rest of the team. TSJ especially hasn’t really been doing anything that seems like he’s going pro anytime soon.
How many times has TSJ declared and come back to school? I'm pretty sure he did last year, did he ever get feedback before that? Just wondering if he can declare and still have the option to come back. I'm guessing he can since I've never seen it mentioned, but just wanted to know for sure.

I think Jayden will do great there in all honesty… Sucks but on to bigger and better things…

Underwood is old school. The Bobby Knight, in your face, does not work with kids anymore. He needs to change his approach, otherwise he will be gone in the few years. Kids are taking notice.
Scott Drew is a nicey nice coach, everyone still leaving his program. Brads Brad, quit going under screens if you don’t want to get yelled at or simply run the play he drew up for you (Jayden)

Are we even getting any visits from portal players? I see all these articles about players Illinois is interested in, but obviously the feelings aren’t being reciprocated from the players.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Even if it were true that we would expect that if he did it for us (which is debatable at best), you'd have to be new to sports fandom to think that would make an opposing fanbase okay with it.
Of course not. I've never claimed otherwise. I'd definitely never expect an opposing fan base to look past phone calls. That's the sort of vile behavior no one should ever forgive or forget.

Guenther flew to Norman Ok to meet him and hire him . He lands there and there is a bunch of press waiting for him to get off the plane . They had been tipped off by Sampscum. RG feels betrayed and basically scuttles the deal at that point.

In hindsight, that was very shortsighted by Guenther. I’m glad we didn’t hire Samscum, but by today’s standard, it’s all about the “buzz.”
