Welcome Coach Miller

Damn. Underwood is really, really good.

Veerrry good. This hire makes them a threat again IMO. This was probably the best they could have done. Did not see this happening though.

Now Illinois fans are saying their getting Billy D lol as well as UCLA and U of L fans. This is getting crazy. I will say this is our one shot at him. If we get someone else he is either a Thunder coach for good by next coach search we have which is hopefully a lonnnnng time from now or at another college. Probably UK or maybe Duke. If Archie Miller goes to Illinois and it happens soon I will believe Billy D is our guy even more. That would mean we didnt even try for Archie and that only happens if we had some clearly better.

There are going to be some ticked Illinois, UCLA, and Louisville fans.

Underwood doesn't coach enough defense imo. They won't be as bad as under Groce. But dont see them being where the fans expect.

That statement sounds pretty definite to me.

Then we have different definitions of definite and that's fine. I don't think we get him but to me a statement like his to a reporter means nothing.

Then again, it's funny that guys on a chat board, whichever one you choose, think THEY know something.  Here, people are giving credence to some guy on another board who for years has claimed he knows things; yet he's been wrong time after time.  Glass said just yesterday he doesn't have "a guy."  Which means he is going to talk to many people.  He may have a guy in mind, but for anyone to say it's definitely one guy or another is silly.  Nobody on any chat board knows a damned thing.  Dakich, like him or not, is very connected and I promise you he knows more than some dude running a public chat board.   He's full of sh*t sometimes.  No question.  

What do you mean giving credence to a guy whose been wrong time after time?

Also, what do you expect Glass to say?  Yeah, I have our new coach, he's coaching another team right now, you will find out who it is when his season is over.  No, he has to play the game, due his due process.

Correct. Glass isn't gonna come out and say that he has his guy. He's gonna play the game and that is make it seem as ambiguous as possible

Illinois has hired Oklahoma State’s Brad Underwood, sources told ESPN.

 

At least it's not Tony Bennett.

Underwood is definitely better than Groce. Illinois will be improved but it's not a team I will fear. Donovan is gonna coach IU so I really won't fear anyone

I hope IU strives higher. Not a horrible hire but I would of thought Illinois could do better.

They probably couldn't get Marshall, Bennett or Archie. Illinois went with their next best option

So much written but..
Glass doesn't fire Crean unless he has his man and it's a Home Run. Everything else is political BS. He has his man
