like, he wants everything ops can throw at him

Wait, I thought I understood. But it’s actually a Corporate vs Ops thing?

Why do we simply not get all the top transfers and assistants we want every year? Has someone talked to Brad about this?

Can we check the "force transaction" box in the settings?

I don’t think this was a good choice of a gif.

my apologies to anyone that may have been offended

I’ve seen this movie before. 🫤

I think missing a target early in the process is much better than late (e.g., RayJ). Color me not too worried.

Kid got some stones....gotta like it!

Now transfers are doing live decision announcements? I know it's probably just sour grapes because he's not coming here, but second team all-MAC players shouldn't be doing live announcements like they are big time. It also just seems disrespectful to the team you are leaving and the other teams you aren't selecting to do a narrowed down list and live selection like HS seniors - seems he's trying to relive glory he didn't get in HS

Just post a Tipton edit wearing the jersey of the school you choose with "Committed" on it and get on with it - this is your third school in 5 years.
If it is your third marriage, no need for a big wedding.

They can do whatever they want for this type of things. Basically marketing and exposure.

Strong defender who was a fringe NBA prospect after last season but came back to SMU and had a down season despite still being SMU's leading scorer. 1 year left to play.

Just a straight up bad shooter. I would take my chances with Marcus Hill instead. We're in the dented cans aisle either way.

I'd also rather have fellow Rockford native Sincere Parker who we've heard nothing about since he entered the portal.

Completely agree - we haven't heard anything about HIll or Sincere Parker since the early days of the portal but they would be much better than the recent names thrown around. Both are scorers and Sincere is a good shooter

He’s from Illinois too... We’re an NIT team right now

These comments in Mid-April always make me chuckle, especially when Brad and company are still working their magic.

Also, I don't think people remember that it really isn't that hard to make the tournament. It just speaks to how far we fell (and remained) under Groce.

Ugh, sending it to Shams to break is incredibly self-aggrandizing and obnoxious. "Look at me, I'm an NBA player temporarily plying my trade in college"

Good luck getting him to pass to anybody, Bill.

Count me out of the NIL race for his fourth season next year.

Greatly appreciate you, Indy, 0440 and the few others that bring what the rest of us don't know and want to know. This is not a knock on you at all but we have heard Brad is cooking for a while now. Thought Storr was a done deal and then thought Maddox was a lock. Looks like will go 0-2. If Brad does not get two studs with 2 of the 3 remaining, this team is middle of the road in the B1G.

I mean right off the bat it was said that Storr was shopping to the highest bidder, and i haven't read anywhere that Maddox was a lock. It was mentioned ad nausaem that Xavier really wanted him and was our competition. Sure everybody is a little hopeful and wanted it to happen, but the insiders haven't given any indication that they were locks, just the collective hopes and wants of us non insider types. It's still early, have some faith.

 

[Tacomallini]

haven’t been on in a while so forgive me if it’s been said. Hearing that Brad and Co are cooling on some of our transfer targets. They think Marcus and Coleman are coming back.

Nope. Very small chance with Marcus. The Coleman ship has almost definitely sailed.

Well that pretty much settles it. Looks like I'm not getting much work done today.

I was legit surprised to see it from Shams

 

[altgeld88]

I... I don't know what it means for his life to be heavily instigated...

But I'm glad he's back and putting in work.

Instigated, investigated, fumigated. Stupefied, anesthetized, lobotomized. I'm not fussy. He's staying, he's hard-core O&B, and he's insatiably thirsty for salty Purdue tears.

He had me at "white on rice."

I wait with exuberant anticipation for your daily entry.
May the day they end never come.

 

[Illini231]

Never really wanted Storr anyway

 

[pruman91]

I'm not going to lose any sleep about Storr to KU.................I'm really really not........................

 

[Illini2010-11]

Also, I don't think people remember that it really isn't that hard to make the tournament. It just speaks to how far we fell at the end of Weber's tenure (and remained) under Groce (less first year success).

FIFY

 

[Deacon05]

Been doing rehab. Not going well.

Did he have knee surgery yet? Or no.

 

[chibar]

so where do we stand with storr?
