I would be shocked if Underwood went after him given his relationship with Izzo. Better shot he goes somewhere like St Johns or UConn
Does Izzo really give two shites about BU? He mispronounces BU's players on a yearly basis.

Ah pre-portal time.

Reminds me when I would go through the Sears catalog and marking down what I wanted for Christmas. This dates me a little.

Now it reminds of the point each year where my daughter starts going through the Lego app and looking at every Lego set to release or possibly release and me me figuring out how much I may be spending for legos.

Without taking into account money, I do it, in a heartbeat, and wouldn't feel bad about it for one second. I've never seen any indication he's a bad teammate or doesn't work hard.

As for the dirty play stuff, Izzo seems to have those issues crop up a lot. BU doesn't. I think it's likely that Fears would play to the coach of the team he's on, not the team he used to be on.
Jeremy Fears: I don't want him. He's a good fit where he is: small PG, poor shooter, all-around jerk. Possibly the best PG returning to college next year, if he does return. Stay in East Lansing; not a fit at Illinois.

He’s going bag chasing …
Don't want Blackwell either.

He's a really nice player, but I want the Illini to be known as a program that finds its own. Let Wisconsin have theirs. We'll whip them anyway. (Yes, I know: lost twice to them this season. Next year is time to do better.)

If he doesn’t get lottery guarantee … I think it’s on the table …

His camp has been fielding offers higher than what Yaxel got this year …
In general, how crazy is the money gonna get for the top guys?

If it was 1 or 1.5 mil last year... what is it for the same type of player this year?

3? 4? 5? From the sounds of it it, were gonna have a ton in the portal...with the sole purpose of upping the bag...
