I have no problem with what you're saying since you have said it since the first time I said it. I totally get it. It very well could be bad info, I just pass along what I hear or I'm told. I will also say the Archie hire I believe is the reason we don't have Fred Glass anymore. No disrespect took. 

I still haven't been able to sleep for giving you bad info that Brad was coming and it was a done deal. :-) I will never use those words again. 

Info is probably good on this one.   When national, local and other places say the same thing behind the scenes chances are that’s what happened.  If it’s only coming from 1 source then I would questioned it but when I saw the same inside reports from various places then I pay attention.  Percentages allowed Gelon as an APR hit and they took their chance with a scholarship player that had no business with one in the first place.   Old news now. Archie didn’t get it done on the court but he left IU in a better APR position for coach Woodson and got the ball rolling on locker room improvements, player living improvements and other little  stuff that dragged IU into the new century.

I'm sure this is the narrative pushed out by Archie.  But honestly...does it make sense to you?

"You have to keep all the recruits because apr"...how does that make sense?

Absent a dramatic, unexpected change, I expect Kentucky will be adding two new Assistant coaches very soon

One is Orlando Antigua and the other is picked, but not finalized

Matt Jones

Bad news for Illinois recruiting.

Kentucky back to playing ‘the game.’

Calipari be like “I can’t win me no games with dem four star recruits. Get me Antigua and that ‘Chin’ dude!”

Now the other coach people are speculating UK getting is  Chin Coleman  Illinois other top assistant 

If that happens it might be worth a visit to the Illinois boards.  Hova approved I’m guessing

People accept this as fact but refuse to think about how it makes no sense.  Strange.

Illinois board is hurting.  This new transfer rule may need to cause a change in contract language to prevent coaches from taking players with them.

I just have a different opinion on the matter with the information I have gathered.  Not strange a all.

Care to share?  Because I can't find the rationale

I just took a look at the Illinois board.

They are speculating that with Antigua and Cockburn gone, Curbelo may be following Antigua via the portal soon.

If that happens, Illinois is gonna be a hot mess next year—They would be losing their four best players (Ayo, Kofi, AMiller & Curbelo) and their sixth man/bench big (Georghi).

Same I’ve shared the last time we went down this rabbit hole.    You don’t believe the information given and I do.

Justus was the lead guy on the Skyy Clark recruitment. Would be interesting to watch how that goes.
