  1. HAHAHA oh man Walton just killed me.   "Everybody under 6'10" looks exactly the same."
  2. We are the same exact team as last year.  We'll blow teams out at home then lose on the road to crappy teams when the shots aren't falling.   I'll be happy to get out of here with a one point win.
  3. Somewhat related, but does anyone think Illinois should go after Cuonzo Martin for their next head coach?   He's obviously a Big 10 guy and an Illinois native, and I don't think him being a Boiler would matter.  If I were their next AD, I'd throw the bank at him unless there's some bad history between Martin and UI that I don't know about.
  4. Man it's November 21st, not even Thanksgiving, and Illinois' season is pretty much over already.   2 bad losses this early are going to be awfully tough to overcome.
  5. Theo Pinson stats today:   Started, played 25 minutes 2 pts 4 rebounds 3 TOs 4 fouls   He hasn't lived up to 5* rating at all so far, granted he's only a sophomore.  He's only shooting about 35% for his career.  I really wanted this kid when he came out of high school too.
  6. Duke looks very beatable, but man they'll be tough at home still.
  7.   TJ Leaf has to be concerned there.
  8.   We handed out rings to the players amidst zero fanfare.  There was never any kind of celebration for it, and we probably wouldn't have even known about it if Remy Abell didn't tweet a picture about it.
  9. http://www.stream2watch.co/sports/basketball/eastern-illinois-vs-indiana-live-stream-november-14
  10. Juwan Morgan looks bigger than I thought he was.  Looks every bit of 6'8".
  11. I'd have to think this puts us in a better position with Thon Maker more so than any of the guards we're after.   Now he knows with Bryant and Davis here, he definitely won't be the only big man on the roster, which could allow him to play a 3/4/5 role.
  12. lol.....guess the cat is kind of out of the bag now!
  13. Haven't been this excited/nervous for an announcement since Blackmon's a few years ago.
  14. Eric Bossi thinks we still get De'Ron, but even if he changes his pick between now and Davis' announcement time, don't be too alarmed.   Just yesterday, he predicted South Carolina for Seventh Woods, because he heard the allure of playing close to home and the threat of pending sanctions at UNC would be too much to overcome.   Lo and behold, Woods popped for North Carolina today.
  15. Wow, Bob Knight was absolutely right on that.  There really is probably no difference between the 8th ranked SF in the country and the 32nd ranked PF.   The fact is that recruiting and scouting is such a business now.  Where there's money to be made, it's going to be made.
  16. Mississippi State took 2 PFs last year, a 4* and a 3*.   They've got Herard locked up now and are still going after Abdul Ado, a 6'10" top 100 ranked player from TN.   Competition for playing time in the front court may actually be higher at MSU than here, which is crazy.    Man, we have to lock him up.  Losing him to MSU would be so deflating.
  17. So basically Max B. > Hanner/Holt?
  18.   Purdue targeting him as well.  Has he even visited there?
  19.   Really? That's the only reasonable possible explanation you can think of?
  20. He's ranked in the Top 150 and is a 6'4" guard.  We'll have to continue to evaluate his game as his high school season rolls on, but those are two good places to start.
  21.   No idea, I'm not a member so that's why I posted it here to see if anyone knew anything.   I suppose something will leak tomorrow or this weekend, if there is anything.
  22. Looks like there may be something buzzing over on peegs regarding Davis.  Hope it's good news, who knows though.
  23. I think he's trolling fans and doesn't want his college choice to be so obvious.
  24.   I'll pay for it if he wants to commit.  :biggrin:
