At least is was more insightful than a Rees Woodcock article.Such an informative article with a lot of inside information !
I'm surprised that they didn't refer to specific players as "Player A", "Player B", etc.
I am going out on a limb and say the Illini come up big in Madison with some unexpected player to have an exceptional game. Illini-83-Badgers 78
LaPhonso was dominant center for East Saint Louis state champs. He was the missing big man for the Flying Illini. He was "supposed" to commit to Illinois but at last minute switched to Notre Dame because he did not want to play 5. Digger told him ND already had a 5 so he would play 4 at ND. Of course that was a lie and LaPhonso spent 4 years on mediocre ND teams playing the 5.
Cuonzo Martin from same ESL team was supposed to come to Illinois but the Deon Thomas NCAA scandal scared him off and he went to Purdue instead and became all B10. Juwon Howard was rumored to be ready to commit to Illinois but same issue with Deon Thomas NCAA scandal. Lou had Illinois recruiting on a roll but it derailed because of Bruce Pearls made up allegatations about Illinois $20k payment to Deon.

Cuonzo, Bruce Pearl, Illinois, and a small world
Let’s talk about the time Bruce Pearl cost Illinois a chance at Cuonzo Martin.

While Pearl was pulling all his crap about Lou and Illinois giving Deon a Chevy Blazer, Digger was spewing the same crap as he recruited Ellis and Ellis bought into it and starting speaking out against Illini and Deon too. Ended up being three jailbirds, so to speak, chirping the same story. Before Digger got involved, LaPhonso was leaning Illini. They're all scum.
Same with the bikini joke. LOL
Or vice versa?

And Ellis admitted later he lied about it.

Amen. The Malabar Front shifts south after Saturday afternoon.
I would take him as a role player. Don't think I would want him to be the focus of an offense. But I don't see a guy who's averaging 16 in the Big10 transferring to be a third option.
Seems like the type of guy that is the number 1 option on a mediocre team unless he makes a big jump.
Mayer was actually a plus defender when he was engaged. He had good length and mobility plus he was the best shot blocker on the team(same number blocks per game as Coleman and Dain despite mostly playing on the perimeter).
He lied and said Illinois offered cash and cars to play. He is a loser.
Not great… but have you heard Bill Walton call PAC-12 games? We should count our blessings and only hope the B1G says no thanks to that creep when UCLA joins.
And the floating fortresses are in place on Lake Mendota... either to attack or to aid.
I know that there's a couple of liquor connoisseurs on here. Have any of you tried Dalmore 21 YR before? I bought a bottle after a recommendation from a customer. Holy bajeebus, this is crazy good! I thought that I had tried good Whiskey before...I was very wrong 
I've noticed a lot of green today. Green=Good. Good=Positive. Positive has 8 letters. 8 point Illini win!
Also, Green=MSU

No, no, no, no, just please, no! He's in my top 3 of "commentators that I wish I could punch through the TV". Fighter of the Nightman would enjoy the rubdown though
