Merry Christmas btownbanners! My gift of a 50 percent 3 point shooting immediate eligibility guard hasn't happened yet but it's been good anyway. Hope everyone having a good Christmas!

We powered him down for a few days. Doing some routine maintenance on the rotary girders, etc. 

We’ll get him fired up again soon.

Purdoo #1, Kensucky and Illinois in top 7? Might be accurate, but I reject it as unacceptable.

YIKES

[Stuhoo 80,120]

A little Terrence Shannon Jr. legal process for y'all:

Apparently the university knew there was an investigation since September. They did not suspend him, which to me makes perfect sense. If they suspended him merely for an allegation they could get a flurry of unsupported allegations of all stripes on many players, including anonymous allegations. Additionally, if law enforcement was investigating, they were not sharing investigative details or status updates with the university.  So how did they know? It is reasonable to speculate that people associated with the program were interviewed and immediately notified the university when law enforcement contacted them.

Now that Shannon Jr. got charged? They suspended immediately and indefinitely. Illinois has a good track record on this front: With both Kendrick Nunn and Jaylen Tate, Illinois suspended upon domestic violence charges being filed, and dismissed immediately upon guilty pleas for domestic violence. That was 7.5 years ago, but that has been their standard.

The charges? The standard for charging is 'probable cause' that a rape was committed by Shannon Jr.  Now that he's been charged it is 'innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt' of rape.

The timeline? Absent unusual circumstances that lead to the charges being dropped, at least through the spring before there is a trial.

And Illinois now sucks.

I'd say they're now middle of the pack - maybe a little better than that. Goode, Rodgers, Hawkins, Domask, and Guerrier is still a solid lineup.

He is definitely 1A for them but they won’t suck.  Tough coach.  Pretty darn good roster still.  They will be fighting for 2-6 place imo.  But a huge loss for them.
