[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1432681, member: 3844"] I know part of being a fan is having a hopeful outlook for your team but why do so many place unrealistic expectations based on what we have right now. The players just aren’t good enough. Every preseason prediction had Illinois near the basement of the Big 10. That is where they will finish. Brad Underwood is a good coach. The recruiting has been disappointing to me so far and is the cause of the teams record. The best players on this team are two freshman and a sophomore. I believe it will get better but at some point if you want to compete with the top of the Big 10 you have to have the players to do it. The narrative that with Ayo and Trent we have this fantastic backcourt just isn’t true. They are good and will get better but they aren’t going to carry this team through a brutal Big 10 schedule.
