Illinois does as well and additional screenings as well. If Ilinois has the same track record under BU after 20 years in the tourney that Painter has had at Purdue you would have ran Painter out on a rail for underperforming.

See I actually prefer European Vacation to that. Both movies have their issues but Vegas Vacation is worse. The only highlight I like from Vegas Vacation is the Dam tour.
A lot of assumptions you are making here. Bad ones too
Dix here for a visit … We’re looking to close … Personally - I don’t understand this one … But that’s just me … Talk is it’ll take $2 million for him …
Sandfort in for a visit soon as well … I don’t understand this one either …
Boswell has heard from multiple teams back channeling and offering nearly 7 figures to him …
Tre White has quite a few good offers on the table …
Continue to hear Brad wants Ben back …
If Duke can’t land Nate Ament … They will be all in on Dame Sarr and we could lose him at the last second … I think we’re in a good spot but Duke is going to come after him hard …

The sleepers guys called it right - we are the real housewives of Champaign
So what would you think BU should do? Don't take that as snarky. Just seems like you know what options are legit possible
Dix for $2 mill is just unfathomable. If we end up spending that for him- I think it'll be the of Underwood's time here.
If Ben comes back, Sandfort, and Dix come- We will officially be the most unathletic and softest team in the Big Ten.
I think Tre will end up somewhere else- his value will be high and Underwood probably planted a negative seed with how he handled Tre during the season.

The schools don’t pay them.

It’s been proven here that we spent a ridiculous amount on both Ben and Booth. Everything about TU and Hamer has already been aired out. Bu has already said he's looking into bringing Ben back.
So, please enlighten me, what exactly do you think is the ‘bad assumption’ here?

But Duke is the leader for Nate Ament (as far as everything that's out there).

Kofi is playing in korea and didn’t play one day in the NBA. Morez saw the same staff and said “I don’t want that to happen to me.” That’s not disrespectful. That’s smart. The Illini staff disrespected Morez.
Kelvin Sampson and Matt Painter are phenomenal coaches. Hate to say it, but they are Elite.

A lot of our frustration has to do with the inability to retain any type of roster continuity that we saw during BU's first 5 years. Look at the teams in the Sweet 16 and you'll see a lot of teams that have been able to retain their players year after year. While you can get an E8 run from remaking your team in the portal like Kansas State did a couple years ago, it's not the recipe for long term success (as K-State has shown since then).
Did anybody see the end of the Purdue-Houston game? Hopefully the Illini coaching staff did. That was what is called an out of bounds play. I haven’t seen Illinois do that in over 8 years.
Sleepers that's where everyone should go to get their basketball expertise.
only 4 of the teams have a starting lineup with 3 or more players that originated at their school. 9 of the 16 have a starting lineup where literally every one of them started at a different school
