C-L-I-N-C-T-I: the sound Caleb’s jumper makes when it hits the rim.

I’ve officially reached the point where I’m trying to decode messages that may not have a hidden meaning.
I, in contrast, read the fresh entrails of a chicken I've gutted each early morn on my office credenza.

As for Caleb, I see him going to Kansas... Self; Love.

I think the guy heard someone tangentially connected to program say “I love IllinoisLoyalty.” Well, of course, Caleb means faithful or loyalty, so that has to mean we’re after Caleb Love. Simple really.
What if the guy who tweeted named this kid "sources" as loop hole and all he does is ask him. Genius

I agree, if TJ comes back, Love will not want a bench role. Even if he does a not come back, I doubt he fits what Brad wants. With a lineup of Hawk/transfer, Rodgers, Domask, Dain and Dennis/transfer where does he fit in? Especially when you bring Goode, Harris, Harman, Hansberry or DGL. I think we will do better In the portal once the dust settles. Let him go to Mizzou or Texas.

It's been hinted on this board that players "get paid" to take official visits -- in this case, RayJ Dennis. I don't understand how this would be, other than getting SWAG on each trip. Who would be paying Dennis to visit Illinois then Michigan then Baylor then Utah? This seems like a very suspect premise to me, and I'd love some insight from people who actually know how it does or doesn't work.

I could be wrong but I think the topic you are thinking of was Mgbako being paid to NOT visit Louisville

This isn't a new or strange thing. When a school is recruiting a student, particularly for athletics, they will cover the cost of the trip and shower them with attention and gifts during their trip. Any potential student is going to try to take as full advantage of that as possible. As long as the school is willing to cover the visit, why not go out there?

I'm not sure Hawkins and Shannon could be more direct about the problems the team had last year, how the problematic characters are no longer a part of the team, and how they're one vet PG away from being something special and withdrawing from the draft.

I think Hawkins is content with staying in the draft regardless of what happens here, but he sure as heck isn’t coming back without a PG.

Same might hold true for TSJ, he just hasn’t been as direct.

Why would we even want Love? Dude is a bricklayer that just chucks up shots.

Yeah he scores some points but it's incredibly inefficient.
I was in a meeting once and the company was losing money on certain transactions. My boss said we could make it up in volume. Maybe we should get him and have him shoot more! :eek:
