Then they can GTFO... Tyler is a great offensive coach, and if they want to whine, go be a fan of someone else

lol.

I’m telling you what I’ve been told by former and current players and coaches … Tyler running the show is causing problems/has caused problems … Hamer running the show is causing problems/has caused problems …

It’s the Brad/Tyler/Hamer show … Many players are over it … SOME donors are over all of it including Brad and some are willing to let Brad change course and bring in new coaches … Two of our previous assistants said to heck with it …

It’s a problem … Brad can either fix it or he can roll with it but if he rolls with it and doesn’t have success in March next year … He should be prepared to be fired come season end and he can take his boy and leggings boy with him …

Nice to have you here, Mrs. Underwood.

Expecting two more transfers out, three at most. Kylan and Tomi are locked in for sure, as is Jason, I am leaning Ty staying over Tre right now as well. Still think 1/2 of Jake/Ben is back.

The issue is that this should read “”Tomi, Kylan, Tre, and Ty are locked in” Ben & Jake are transferring out. Retention should have been priority number 1 of this offseason. And not just retention for retention sake. Retention of your best players.

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

 

[Redbull]

It sounds like both Morez and Tre wanted roles within the offense that suited their pro aspirations and less so within the offensive system designed to benefit the team as a whole. And if both players feel their futures depend on getting that freedom at other schools, they absolutely should leave. But the recent litter grounds of transfers past show way more inflated, unrealized dreams than any true success stories. Only Podz has blossomed post Illini-days.

If big donors close their wallets, it is over for the current staff, plain and simple. You may hate it, but the mega donors carry serious sway in the current system (and always have).

I suppose Red Bull would be the most current example of a chaotic organization mismanaged due to internal favoritism. Go Yuki!

Now there's a sport that knows what it's selling its audience.

Drama?

 

[Trueblue777]

Great, now we have lost two trusted insiders. I was hoping to hear how Dix’s visit went this weekend after it was over and things settled.

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Great, so now the only insider left is the one who delights in whipping up the rabble into a fury.

The board is devolving into an Illinicentirc axe grinding club… Sort of like the rest of the internet…

I’m sad to see em’ go but don’t we still have FI and Sharpshot?

 

[DocMorgan]

Shouldn’t Brad know this? It took him forever to get where he is at now.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

And @DB11Headband

 

[DonFlan]

Whether you like or dislike Pitino or think he is a scumbag, the guy can really coach and has discipline from his players (even if it is only on the court).

And he loses his top freshman recruit.

It always kinda was. Now it’s just coming from several directions simultaneously…

 

[IllinitripleJ]

Maybe Uni High. Is that school still there?

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Dainja says hello

He got more minutes, but he was less efficient (nearly every per 40 stat was worse, and turned it over twice as often) and didn’t win a game in the NCAA tournament.
Dain was still Dain.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

And @DB11Headband

You're right, we have two insiders who delight in whipping up the rabble into a fury!

 

[rollcoal]

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.

Don't let a few a**holes keep you from giving the rest of us good info.

 

[WyattEarp]

And @DB11Headband

Oh yeah, crap…my bad.

 

[logjam]

I’m sad to see em’ go but don’t we still have FI and Sharpshot?

And Marvin...

 

[illini55]

Hey, he’s still got 355 Division 1 programs from which to choose. Or, he can join St. Francis in Division 3.

I’m sorry you experienced this. To the person that did it and anyone thinking about doing it. Grow up. We all love our Illini but what matters is how we treat each other on here and in everyday life. Everything else on here is a mix of BS, business, excitement and Pru’s NLs in between. Selfishly, I don’t want to lose the people on here I respect the most. LOYALTY.

 

[SweetLuh]

Yeah, but the insiders we do have left use the lazy retort “you don’t know ball” or “lack ball knowledge” if you disagree with them.

 

[New Creation]

This board is moronic. What’s being thrown around is nowhere near the truth. People running with twitter rumors and making up their own to justify their feelings. It’s crazy. Morez SIGNED a new NIL deal late February. 900k….his dad continued to negotiate behind Illinois back and got “offers” in the 2 mil range for Morez. Great. Go get your 2 mil. Don’t throw coaches and former players under the bus to try and make it look like that’s why you’re leaving. Sorry they didn’t let your son shoot 3’s and run the offense through I’m like they did Tomi when that’s not his game. Kylan and Tomi have always been priority 1a and 1b this offseason. They would’ve loved to have Tre back with him being the 6th ish guy off the bench. He didn’t like that whatever it is what it is. That being said Illini0440 out. Good luck everyone. Can’t take the dumba$$ posts on here from people who have no idea what’s actually going on and need to make something up to validate their feelings towards things.
