Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

I remember talking to Brian Cook at KAMs in '01 after we beat #4 Michigan State. Well kinda, I was very drunk, but he seemed to find whatever the heck I said quite funny.

I mean if that's what TU did then I completely get it. Run him out of town.I have an unidentified coworker who regularly microwaves fish, and I sit pretty close to the kitchenette that has the microwave.
According to the beat writer who said this, not really...
Imo it's why nobody who has brought it up has bothered to divulge what the actual rumor was... because it's a big nothing burger
I'm going to be taking a break as well. Got a nasty dm from someone in here that put it over the top. We will be fine, I'll see ya'll in a bit.
U won’t let this die eh? Screams you might be close to lil U
“Facts” because I said so. Ok

I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

We can all have civil disagreements with direction of team, but this behavior is unacceptable.
Edit: Also please report to Dan. Those individuals should be permanently banned from site. We all appreciate info that those of you close to the program share (even if we do not agree at times). Keyboard warriors are the problem with society today.

Last thing I will say before I head out for a bit-the Humrichous Morez thing is hilarious. Several power 4 schools were heavy in pursuit on Ben. I don't blame Brad for playing him a bit considering how much he paid him and how the dude shot in practice leading up to the season. Still was one of our best 3 point shooters and played decent defense down the stretch. No, I am not Ben's biggest fan. But Morez played a crap ton for a freshman big on a team that had a stud center. They did everything they could to get him back the last week and it still wasn't enough. Lastly, Hamer needs to go, but the Tyler thing is a complete cop out and a huge sham.

What's the limit? A coach thinks he's got everything in place for the next year and a member of the inner circle keeps the bidding open. I still think Johnson is a package deal with Tim Anderson. With White and Rodgers also included.

Most freshman won't. Senior morez that averages 18 and 14. Shooting 28% from 3 and 50% from the field with 1.8 bpg and 2 apg
Great, so now the only insider left is the one who delights in whipping up the rabble into a fury.
Look, the situation I am completely mystified by is Hamer. Should Tyler be an assistant coach at the University of Illinois? Of course not. Do I like it? Hell no. Should he be, at a bare minimum, be “repurposed”? Yes. However, the head coach is his dad and we have nepotism run amok. He’s taking care of his son, and he obviously isn’t going to fire him. It SHOULDN’T be happening and it pisses me off, but I understand it on some level.
I don’t get the Zach Hamer thing AT ALL. He also has done NOTHING to earn his position…. Underwood and he aren’t related. The defense the last two years has been a joke, and he brings as much as I do to recruiting.
This has been stated repeatedly on this board, but you don’t promote a literal nobody video coordinator and give him the keys to your defensive game plans. He should have been fired at the conclusion of the 2023 season. Period.
It’s just really weird. No rationale for him being on the staff at all, much less having as much power as he does.

Isn’t the usual saying where there’s smoke there’s fire. I get some leave for $$$ but let’s take DGL for example here. By all accounts early season he showed glimpses and was really a ball of energy off the bench and facilitated change when we were down. And then poof. He was down and out. Something happened. He lost his spark for sure. And I think that hurt us a ton

I'm not sure anyone blames him for playing Ben a lot early in the season. It's his refusal to alter his role throughout the season when it was clear he wasn't going to be the deadeye shooter that was expected that annoyed most of us.
Okay, actually, I'm sure someone blames him for the whole thing, but not the majority.
I got to thinking.. maybe its...

Lock the thread Dan, the most egregious thing we'll read in the Morez saga
