Lol no. Brea is SUCH a better shooter than Goode. It’s not close.I'll bite. So 50% in the A-10 equals what in the Big 10? Also unless the culture talk is a bunch of bs (which is the direction it is trending) having a foundational player in the program certainly has value that doesn't show up in individual game statistics. Ultimately, the value of Brea over Goode may lead to you Brea, but to say it is an 'insane take' is, well...insane?
Good. The kumbaya stuff only seems to apply as long as you're useful. I'm happy for the players to get theirs where they canI think the portal and NIL has killed the "FamILLy" moniker.
I think because we have yet to land our marquee player. Most of the blue chips transfers have already committed to their new schools.
We're running out of DUDEs in the portal though. Most of the them have already committed.
Our single A teamSo is WV our 2nd team now?
listening to Rush this morning all medded up and life is fantastic........NL # 3 has been smiling all morning long and we wanted to share our feelings on recruiting and the unjust persecution of our oracles........we find it unseemly to allow any troll to bring unwarranted charges or suspicion of charges against these fine young men of the Illini Nation............
Close ranks and protect our sanctuary at all costs..........it's us against the rabble rousers of the evil empires that see us as a threat to their closely guarded and media protected facade's.........
We are coming to get you imposters ........And we WILL prevail............We really really will...........................

Why are people freaking out so much
Was one of my favorite players in the portal.Saint Thomas to Muss and USC
Man, this is a big miss. Saint Thomas is the patron saint of architects. He would have really contributed to what we’re trying to build here.Saint Thomas to Muss and USC
I'm not. I just get annoyed that people that must not have played or watched much basketball on all levels act as if there isn't talent with in and outside the the power 5 or that BU and others that can identify it get paid to do exactly that. How many top nba top picks, college studs or transfers that end up being is it gonna take for B10 fans to quit being so arrogant. BU and the Illini are in the top 10 in the nation they will do all they can to stay there and get paid and with good NIL will try to get the maximum ROI. Not long ago no one wanted Clarkson from Tulsa or Domask from SIU and in today's world would question Lillard or Pippen . Give me a break. There is something to the eye test when they play vs top talent and excel.Why are people freaking out so much
Cardet is no Pippen or Dame. He was wildly inconsistent on a terrible team. A lot of great (high scoring) games, but just as many stinkers.I'm not.

Some of the best DUDES are still in the draft and havent entered the portal yetI think because we have yet to land our marquee player. Most of the blue chips transfers have already committed to their new schools.

The natives will be even more restless if you stand pat with the players fans "like" and lose with them while other teams kill it with portal guys.Is it? Is he going to shoot 50% when he steps up in competition? Both Domask and Harmon saw their 3pt% drop when they had to play top talent night in and night out. The kid can definitely shoot, but so can Goode. The 3 years prior to last year, Brea was, as I pointed out, a 39.4% shooter. Do we know if last year was an outlier? Damonte Williams had this wild 55% 3pt shooting season and went right back to normal the next year.
The whole point of my post was, Underwood is not saying, ok we lost this from the roster, we have this coming back so here is our recruiting approach. He's saying ok, let's see who I want. If taking that guy runs off one of my returning players, so be it. Thus, we will have close to 0 continuity. Fans will routinely see players they like leave and replaced by newcomers. If you're going to do that, those players you bring in better win or the natives will get restless.
Because of the Groce years... not sure how much more Underwood has to do before people stop freaking out over every little thing.Why are people freaking out so much
Kind of painful to see them in that jersey, but with Chester now and wish them both the best (except if they play us of course!).
Eye spy anyone else?
Still looking for Jayden Epps.
And Ayo and Kofi. And Deron. And Derek Harper. Maybe bring Domask off the bench if we get all six?We’ve gotta have Coleman and Domask back at this point.. or at the very least Coleman
