You realize if Coleman wasn’t on our team you’d probably hate him…once he’s got the jersey on things change
He’s going to be playing overseas
Always going to be dang near impossible to beat out Indiana for recruits. Their NIL is easily top 5 in the country and have the brand/coach to back it up. I believe we are top 3 in the Big10 though.
That 90k contract is pretty easy to get out of
“KnoxIllini2 said: So what’s Brad’s focus for this year then?”
“CoalCity: Winning”
Of course, getting Wins is the goal of every coach. And while fans focus on the development of players... many overlook the fact that coaches also grow and change. At least the good ones do. They get older and wiser. They learn how to relate to and communicate with players better. They figure out what works and what doesn’t. They learn from their mistakes. And for all the disappointment with the outcome of the past seasons... this has been an enormous opportunity for growth. For both players and coach. And even for 'program' with another year of the Illini becoming a significant ‘player’ in the major college ball profile. The Illini get NOTICED more now.
The worst kind of coach is inflexible and without evolution. The Illini have an intelligent and passionate head coach who no doubt learned a great deal about his team and himself in the last year. He will come into the new season with even greater focus and desire to reward Illini fans with a team deserving of the affection that Illini Nation has for them.
Getting talented players is one thing. But getting the right MIX of players is even better. How the pieces fit means more than having great pieces that don’t play well together. And Coach is big on seeking that right mix of talent and their mental approach to the Game.
Expectations for the new season might be a bit tempered from the past seasons but that’s OK. Coming in a little looser and unburdened just might be what this team needs.
And for those who have concerns about a coach who might ‘elevate his voice’ at times... I’d rather have a guy who yells and cares than have one that keeps his voice down and doesn’t.
He played in some tournament last night aswell that makes it tough to regain eligibility
3 game suspension
add "Thompson" to your list and I thought I was the only one LOL
Also anyone replying to your post doesn't do this by definition.

Lol why would he just be ok with getting a 3 game suspension if he was planning on coming back. This one is over.
Yep, same Courtney Ramey this season got for playing in the same. Baby game
I may be one of the few but I hope we don’t bring in RayJ unless TSJ leaves. If Shannon is back we need a pass first PG that has played on the biggest stage
I’ll handle it pro bono
Probably because he would still get his $$$

Man, it'd take a miracle for me to not feel creeped out watching the manner in which he runs. He's got a really strange gait.
Looking at some of the insiders on UCLA’s 247 board they’re saying he’s gone and choosing to not return to college. I get it was a dream but let’s be real it was never happening
Ask Courtney Ramey
Yeah small in stature but his game is big time.

Sitting 3 games against cupcakes in November is easily worth cashing a big 'ol paycheck. Why is this even debatable?
Check UCLA 247 message boards
Not saying was happening. just mean that’s why I’d do it. be like a paid vacation.

No disrespect to our insiders here but lets not kid ourselves with the notion insiders of any kind are always right.
