College sports or just college basketball? Basketball has always been the most individualistic revenue sport so of course the impacts of the constant transfers will be more greatly felt. Football of course has a good number of transfers in the portal but with bigger roster sizes of course the number will be high. Successful programs and coaches have been able to maintain a good level of roster continuity. Bielema deserves all the credit in the world for building a football program that's been able to keep a majority of its players year after year in today's landscape.
College sports is completely broken. I can't understand why the NCAA wants things to be this way. Its ridiculous. NIL money needs to start being a 2 year commitment and we need to get back to sitting a year out before you transfer.Welcome to the Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

2025 Recruiting
1) Keaton Wagler (2025 G) committed on September 18th, 2024, signed on November 14th, 2024.
2) Brandon Lee (2025 G) committed on September 25th, 2024, signed on November 19th, 2024.
Good luck winning with that weak soft lineup . Congratulation Illinois is now a Fran McCaffrey Iowa team.
Boswell4Three- the key question is what kind of breakfast sandwich did Dix order at McD?
I like the strategy of saving budget for rev share and these high price assistant coaches we’re going to hire!
Bro sbilling
Correct #3 is killing college sports. I am curious if morez actually cared about his time in CU or was his family more concerned about future NIL $$$$?.From a recent insiders post on this thread, the Illini staff knew something was going in February.
Realistically poor defense l, too many turnovers and poor 3pt shooting undermined this years Illini team with much potential.

Wonder who's going to enter the portal today? 
Illini in OC
In. The. Alley.
Is it safe to come in?
In business I mostly agree, fear of burning bridges and references, but these guys might not care about that, especially if there is any truth to some of the rumors.
Yep. Really no point to reading these messages. Many blowhards whose self importance is pathetic. Your post is obviously an exception to that. So thank you
I understand your sentiment…but if the NCAA had their druthers they wouldn’t have changed a damn thing most likely. I’m sure they didn’t “want” to do anything.
They’d still be partying like it’s 1989. Let’s be honest…
They just got blind-sighted and had no plan…still don’t…They were forced to change by demand/ backlash, if you will…and they just had no clue what to do thereafter. (I mean when you’re going to Congress for help…yikes.)
It’s unsustainable and everyone knows it. Yet, nothing is done.

I don't think the NCAA wants it this way. Their hand was forced through the courts. The issue is that they never made substantive changes over the years before, and so they were totally unprepared to adapt. Thus, we have the Wild West of the current landscape. Changes need to be made, but the "how" is the issue. There are no easy solutions that will hold up through the courts.

The courts have already said no to that.
Probably DGLWonder who's going to enter the portal today?
twitter feed looming of dix at McDonalds with Bos boozed up along side
If I hear Kansas or another big-name program is in on a transfer I assume we're not getting him.
Besides late night Mickie D's any word on dix vis?
You mean a drunken , late night trip to Mickey D’s won’t seal the deal? What’s this world coming to?
I dunno l...someone chased off all the insiders...
Maybe it’s just me, but I’m not going to draw conclusions off one picture/tweet of Dix waiting for McDonalds and Bos not even in the picture

Probably still want to build up relationships with recruits, even if they are not coming into the program now. Might help in recruitment when they are in the portal (though money still trumps everything).
