My husband's eyes glaze over when I try to talk to him about Illini sports. Thank God for his frat buddies. At least they care lol

Sounds like I’ll be returning there as well … Work transfer …

Indy name is stuck though … Can’t change it now … Spent almost 20 years of my life in Indy …

I’m stuck with Rocket City. Used to live in Huntsville, AL then moved to Belleville, IL. Name stuck though.

I appreciate that my friend … Just try to share the info I’m privileged to get … No reason for me to charge anything … I’ve been approached many times about joining a subscription based site … and there’s a reason why I never will …

I’m sure there are quite a few guys on here who share this info with their young kids or even some younger guys/girls on here who love the Illini and recruiting in general that just don’t have the $$ to pay for a subscription …

Also a quick story I got from someone on here and I won’t out who they are but they shared this with me not that long ago … They said that they along with their father have been illini fans their entire life but didn’t always see eye to eye … Hadn’t spoken in years … Well their fathers health was declining and they decided to try and make peace … And every week this person would go in to see their father and talk to them about the things that were talked about on here from me and many others … Players we might add, who we were recruiting, etc. … If I had dropped a “boom” gif recently … I mean it’s stories like those that make me really appreciate this place we’ve got … Theres always going to be negativity in life but never forget the impact you can have on people you don’t even know … :shield:

I’ve always half wondered what your guys draw was to come on here each day. Obviously we show up daily to hear what info you guys have to offer. I really liked your perspective on that and it answered a question I’ve never asked on here. Thank you for sharing 🍻

sounds like the NBA is tired of wasting time on kids that aren't NBA caliber using their process for training and feedback only
I think the problem they are trying to solve has more to do with guys projected at the top of the draft refusing to participate fully in the combine, and/or refusing to release medical records to all teams, in an attempt to influence where they go. Doesn't seem like it impacts guys seeking feedback, who pull out of the draft.

I grew up in ECI. Now retired in elsewhere.

On the subject of sharing information, I stumbled upon the IB freeboard many moons ago. At the time, I still had a source close to the program, long since retired. I shared some recruiting info I had heard from my source. Got moderated for revealing premium information. I had no idea what that even meant at the time.
