I call things how I see them, these insiders have been saying Boswell is coming forever, well before he was even in the portal.

Beyond that, it’s entertaining in what would usually be a boring time for basketball. I’m sure a lot of people are like me and they sign on here to scan and look for the insider nuggets, it makes the offseason fun. Stop being jerks just because you can.

Right on.... These 'insider' guys all have excellent track records of being prescient. And if their info proves to be incorrect (usually because something changed in situation) The one who made the prediction usually comes on and says something changed and it ain't happening. I don't care if they get their info from pay sites, twitter, contacts within the program or from a crystal ball. Their track records are highly accurate, and I like following them.

The better question is what makes an insider? There are about 4 or 5 here who clearly have some kind of access to developing information. Usually, that comes from having informed sources, or knowing people with sources.

Years ago, I knew someone with a source inside the DIA. Back then, I learned quite a bit before it became public.

I used to be friends with an associate AD. Also, bought one staff drinks and had a conversation that could have led to more connection.

My point is that becoming an insider is nothing less than establishing a relationship with the right person(s). Albeit, I appreciate what our insiders do here because I never had any interest lol

I'll go. It's not an issue. Sorry for troubling you.

It's just kind of a joke the level of which some here use vague language and everyone annoits them as "insiders". I mean, anyone can do that. Miss Cleo made a lot of money out of it.

Again, if it someone makes you feel like you have some "inside" track on the program, so be it. I just can't help noticing that a couple of the "insiders" here are slightly behind what is broken on other platforms. Almost like they are just a little quicker than you at reading stuff?

Damn, did he hit on your significant other something. It’s not that serious.

I literally can't find any way to delete my account. Dan, please delete. Thanks for providing a place for the the Illini faithful to gather. Youve done a great thing here.

I appreciate you all!

I’ll bite: just click on your profile picture and click “log out”.

Now you can’t post anymore and when you leave the website, you can just delete it from your favorites and your history.

I do find it hysterical you made your comments, people responded negatively and now you want to run away and delete your account. It’s not that serious man.

I don‘t think anyone really thinks it’s TU or JW, but probably some lower profile staff member or someone with a connection to staff members. I would suspect that they understand what they’re allowed to share and what they aren’t.

I have no dog in this fight. Like to come here to get opinions and information. But IMHO, there is no way on God's green earth that BU is allowing any staff member to come on a public forum and share private BB information, learned in a team/staff meeting, before he releases it or authorizes it dissemination. I don't care where people get info, I appreciate it being shared. IMHO it's just not a staff member or Mrs. BU posting on this forum. Keep up the good work, whatever or whoever the source, appreciate any good BB nuggets.

So I hadn’t seen this clip before it was posted earlier today, but watched it a bit ago when Ryllini posted it. What a great pass.

But somehow it didn’t click with me right away that Boswell threw that pass with his weak hand! That’s crazy impressive! Can’t wait to see what he can become at Illinois.

It's not that serious, folks! Beautiful day here in CU. The golf net is up, the dog had a bath and brunch was sour dough French toast with creme Anglais and thick cut bacon. Delicious bloody Marys, Red Stripe, and Irish coffee to boot. Happy (UIUC) mother's day to all. We are going to be good!

Another team Dad and I used to joke watching our kids play grade school ball that the double (and triple) bounce passes were a treat unique to that level...guess we were wrong!

We just got a commitment from a former 5 star recruit a couple hours ago, and people in here have already moved on to arguing about stupid things like the validity of insiders. This is how you know Illinois basketball is back to elite status.

You want the truth?

1)He called that it was going to happen. Whether it be "inside" information or not, he provided his thoughts months ago. It doesn't matter where he got the information, how he got it or when he got it. He passed that information on.

2)It happened

Those are indisputable facts.

Other facts:

3)You don't know ANYTHING about that person. Absolutely nothing. That can literally be Derek Piper and none of us would ever know. You're calling out a computer screen..

4)For you to come to this board and ridicule people that you don't know and proclaim them to be liars.....that's bogus.

Those are all facts of the matter.

Be better.

I saw one insider say that BU liked Booth more than Amani. Is that because of size and raw talent? Booth wasn’t exactly putting up crazy numbers at ND
