Right...like they wouldn’t let Pearl use conditioner anymore when washing his hair on Sundays!  In most cases these days, self imposed penalties are just a means of damage control - how little you can get away with when there is smoking gun evidence against you. Then you can cry how tough your internal controls are and how much you’ve suffered at the hands of your own internal compliance team.  Absolutely no one practices self immolation like we did.

Even though we’re not in that projection, they’re still predicting 8 B1G teams make it in which gives us a decent chance. It seems having a strong conference might benefit us, I think we beat out a team like Illinois or penn state for a spot.

I wish and hope the Archie has great success, and am fully aware that these pre-season tourney projections are worthless, but if you told me a few years ago that going into his third season we would be “hoping” to beat out Illinois or Penn freaking State to get into the tourney I would have laughed out loud.  

This upcoming season is really difficult to figure out (a whole lot of if’s) but I can’t wait for it to start.

Only numbers but I wouldn’t of guessed IU to be 18th.

And they are going to be in even worse trouble for violating their self imposed restrictions.

Underwood at Illinois signs another low-level 'sit one-play two": This time a 14ppg wing from Holy Cross, the worst team in the Patriot league last year:

JUST IN: #Illini will bring in Holy Cross transfer Jacob Grandison. 6'6 perimeter player who can make shots. Sit one to play two.

Two commits in 24 hours for the Illini!

Underwood also bringing in this guy, for a four year ride:

Jermaine Hamlin
POS C HEIGHT6-9 WEIGHT 240
247Sports Composite® Not ranked
NATL. Rank  Not ranked

Had offers from North Dakota, South Dakota, Purdue-Fort Wayne, and Eastern Illinois

I really love Underwood being at Illinois. To his credit he had his kids playing hard down the stretch.

^^No^^

Illinois lost six of their last eight, with the only two wins a pair of five point wins against a Northwestern team that lost 12 of their last 13.

Illinois 2017/18 season: 14-18

Illinois 2018/19 season: 12-21

They lost a couple of veterans, return basically the same team, and added a raw #46 composite big that was good, but not great in AAU ball. Also added a bunch of other guys that won't see the court. And yet somehow,  many pundits have Illinois as an NCAA tourney and upper half of the B1G team this coming season.

I mean, sure, anything's possible, but what the hell are people thinking?
