Thank you, Coleman!! The voice of the people! Lol, it would be one thing if our current (default/regular) jerseys were at all good, either...

Yeah, it's clear some kind of narrative is being crafted here. But the intended purpose behind it remains unclear.How does this compare to other coaches that followed a similar trajectory to Underwood's? Genuinely curious.
1. He coached 3 seasons at Stephen F. Austin, so these are mathematically eliminated.
2. He coached 1 season at Oklahoma State, so that is automatically eliminated.
3. He has coached 7 seasons here at Illinois, but only of those were before COVID, and he inherited some young guys like Frazier and Williams who would stick around for an entire four years ... they just committed to Groce. You have Ayo and Kofi leaving early to go pro, which is objectively good for the program, and then you have the transfer madness.
I do not have time today to analyze this further, but I think that claim is actually ridiculously unhelpful, haha.
I'd say it's pretty hard to define what the new norm is after only 1 year.I just did the obvious Top 2. But maybe today I'll break down more of the Top 15 to show that what we are doing is NOT the new norm in CBK.
I feel like he fits in thereWhat I’m hearing on Davis …
Well that seems like a relatively easy fix. At least compared to something like, I don't know, getting a girlfriend on the women's team maybe..?
His high school offered a good number of courses for college credit. He probably enrolled in many of those.How did he get a degree in 3 years? Wow.
Did he take extra classes during the summer?
Has nobody here ever left a job for a pay raise or company that was a better fit? This is the game now.
Tell that to covid.I'd say it's pretty hard to define what the new norm is after only 1 year.
To be honest, you can't compare this to any coaches in the past. This overlaps with the new portal age. There's roster turnover like crazy everywhere right now. All you can do is compare ours to other schools in the current landscapeHow does this compare to other coaches that followed a similar trajectory to Underwood's? Genuinely curious.

I fully support handing Coleman the reins and letting him go nuts on designing some new unis
We should all be thanking Luke for four years of loyalty, hard work and grit, while earning his ILLINOIS degree. He’s a class act and I wish him luck as a graduate transfer and his life beyond. #Illini4Life
We got our 7 footer/sNow with OA cooking, can we get a seven foot center to come on board ASAP? I feel that was the missing piece from last year’s special team, especially to counter Clingan and Edey.
They were not Underwood commitsUhhh … DMFW & Trent Frazier say hello …
Only because they are members of a union that has collectively bargained with the league to establish the right to enforce those contracts as between the teams and US labor law makes such collectively bargained agreements exempt from antitrust law.Professional athletes have contracts that dictate a number of years. They can't leave.
Subtle hint or does he want new blue jerseys?Transferring to Rutgers confirmed
Not super difficult to do for normal students when you can come in with 40 credits from AP and dual credit classes.How did he get a degree in 3 years? Wow.
Did he take extra classes during the summer?
