[QUOTE="LoveIlliniHoops, post: 1505282, member: 657585"] After seeing how eager half of our fan base is[B] [/B]to replace BU, consider this: Year one- Kenpom ranking 102 Year two-84 This year-43 We have an amazing 2020 class signed or committed while only losing KN, AF and possibly AD. Plus two players sitting and practicing daily with the team in JG and AH. BU has done what we all wanted and is rebuilding the program. Steady progress is being made and patience (something lacking in Illini Nation) is needed to construct any semblance of normalcy here. Constant coaching changes only hinder the program and further discourages top recruits from considering Illinois as a viable option. The instant gratification of this generation is no more evident than on this board. We aren’t the elite program of the past. This will take time to change, and improvements are being seen quicker than many realize (see kenpom rankings above). Did we let one slip away? Yes! Everyone has skin in this loss; the players, coaches, officials, and especially the opposing players! Let’s move on to the next one hopeful and a better program having been through this loss. The future is bright for this program. Let’s let it play out with this team and the future recruits. [/QUOTE]
