I’ve also thought the college baseball model is the way college basketball and football should be.
I’d love to know the exact chain of command between Underwood, the players, and the Collective.
Does Underwood instruct the Collective to only offer a specific amount to each recruit (amounts that change depending on the quality of recruit and total amount the Collective has to spend). I think the NCAA tries to directly prohibit those communications so how do any of these things get done?
Does anyone here know what’s under the hood of how the mechanics work?
I don't believe a word until they are actually in the uniform on GameDay especially in the era it's at now
I’ve been watching some Tre White video and I think he may end up being the sleeper of this portal class. He’s really talented and better defensively than he’s getting credit for. Get him here with our development and he may be this years Domask. I could be totally crazy and you can pull receipts on me if I’m wrong.
I’m just encouraged by his ability.

That's not unique to Illinois and its fans.

I watched LaTulip's assessment of White and was encouraged. He liked what he saw on tape and felt the coaching and leadership from coaches or lack there of at Louisville didn't help White play to his strengths. LaTulip said White took a a dozen off the dribble threes and only hit two but on catch and shoot threes he did much better at 34 percent last year and can build on that at Illinois. LaTulip felt with some leadership and a few years left to grow that he is a solid add with ability, athleticism and potential.
Some of you act like the money is coming out of your pocket and take it person if the university spends it. I’m not sure I follow the logic. Who cares if they pay a kid 20 mill? It’s not your money. If they have the money use it to the very last red cent.
Like the same ones who thinks the state of Illinois pays Brad Underwood
Anything here applicable to the Coaching Carousel as well?

I doubt it… kid just decommitted today from Texas
It's reasonable to assume there's a max amount of NIL money (excluding what Domask and Hawkins would get if they return). There's also a finite amount of playing time and recruiting effort
We're operating on the premise that there is an end to the NIL funds. Let's use the term salary cap.
That being the case, there isn't one player in the portal that's worth 75% of that allotment.
That's the discussion.
This is unacceptable. /s
No, but I think it's unique to this era of social media and blogger / fanboy reporting. It also represents a sea-change in the type of reporting that the schools and coaches expect and encourage.
Maintaining insider status is the primary motivation, and fans are often misinformed because of that.
