Olney...home of the white squirrels. Went to play college ball there back in the 80s. Not sure about now, but not a lot of action in that city back then lol
They still have decent Christmas lights at the fairgrounds for free! Other than that, not much going on.

Agree! I work in the big city of Olney. Good Friday football games, couple good coffee shops and hopefully two future Illini in both basketball and football. Jaylen took the area by storm in grade school while he was here.

If Goode were to walk, I'm going to be behind fascinated to see how BU puts our team in the tournament next year. If he can pull that off, I would be impressed beyond words.

I'm trying to enjoy every second of this year.
I'm unsure why you think Goode is the difference between a tournament team or not?

If he leaves he is going to be replaced by a better player.

The goal would be to replace him with a better player, but you never know how guys pan out. If it were always a sure thing, Skyy and Epps would be tearing it up here and there would never be such a thing as a draft bust.

We are gonna be tough to beat in this one ... VERY tough to beat ...

The blue bloods will come eventually ... But we started putting in the work on this one last summer and have not let off the gas ...

I am from Olney and have talked to a few friends about him. Scuttlebutt is his family loves IL but his dream school is Duke. How many times have we heard that one over the years?

Blink twice if two of those names are Darcus Momask and Serrance Thannon Jr.

I was going to to extend the joke to include Coleman but his name is borderline for this site playing this game.
See Post 118 in this thread.. No chance Shannon is coming back.

Indy not asking for any names but are there players already that have reached out to the Illini coaching staff that have interest in transferring that you have heard about.

Absolutely ... We are always active ...

There are also guys on the current team who have been in communication with the staff about their plans for the future ...

Portal season is here ... Along with coaching carousel season ...
