1. Josh likes to win … You like to win … I like to win … “Cheating” was what it took to win and now “cheating” is fair game so … 🤷🏻‍♂️
If it takes cheating to win, then we must cheat poorly because we finished 12/14 last year in the conference in Learfield cup standings and 54th overall:
The four teams entering the conference next year finished 10, 14, 21 and 38. We had better up our game. What's Neal Stoner doing these days?

I can remember all the way back to after the 2021-22 season, when we lost First Team All-American Kofi, Trent, DMFW, Plummer, Grandison and Curbelo -- six of our top seven scorers -- and Brad managed to bring in a nice group of replacements that got us into the NCAA tournament the following year.

Enjoy the ride this year. Next year will take care of itself.
This might be the most positive comment I've ever seen you write

My uncle used to work for the DIA... He said that a while ago, big name athletes would go to some restaurant every week or so and ask for the "Illini Special". They would get a sandwich in a brown paper bag with a couple of Benjamins inside next to the napkins.

Have we evolved past that method or is it similar to what went on pre NIL? And I assume the $ amount has gone up as well...

But he is only a 3 star recruit, so this can't be impressive! What's that you say? He continues to play at this level, even against other high major recruits? Could it be that he was under-rated and we prioritized getting a very good combo guard? IMHO, this kid looks pretty f'in good, and I am very glad we snatched him up!

2. Sean was never convicted of anything … So let’s get the record straight on “proven cheater” …

3. Brad is not as clean as everybody thinks … Josh is aware of this … He looks the other way … Why do you think Jamall Walker got shown the door ?
I have to ask what the point of throwing Brad and especially Josh under the bus in your post? Comments like he "looks the other way"....why go there? You're protecting the honor of guys who have absolutely no affiliation with our program by taking shots at our staff....present and past.

He is comparing Sean Miller v Underwood. A previous poster called SM a cheater, crook, or some other synonym.
Indy is painting the picture that most programs pay players even before NIL.
It is not hard to find evidence of BU's former programs being investigated.

People should be trusting the staff. They’ve done really well with three stars.

Coleman Hawkins
Alan Griffin
Georgie B

Ate three really good finds in what, 6 years coach has been here?

That’s not counting the guys they grabbed early that ended up being 4 stars later on.
