LOL, I didn't realize this was one of the most important days in Illinois history. It wasn't, guys. Relax. I'll go back to my corner and watch from afar.

 

Although I will say that look at the list of top players and where they are going. 90% are going to blue blood schools. It usually plays out that way. A couple exceptions don't make a rule. Xavier has a highly rated class because of the volume of players, not because they landed top tier recruits.

Please do, as you just don't get it since you're not in our shoes.

 

Plus, we're not that upset with missing out on cliff as we are with how it went down, plus snider and how that went down.

I don't even know if that would've helped. I think honestly, Illinois needs to hire a guy who's in with these players who they all look up to.

Groce is a great recruiter, as are the assistants.

 

This quite simply came down to Kansas over Illinois, Kansas being Kansas etc. You could be the coach of Kansas right now and I still think he probably picks there over Illinois with all the other factors taken into account. That being said, Self is obviously a great recruiter.

 

What's going to change everything is starting to win with the 3 and 4 star guys, and Illinois will become more of a destination than it currently is.

Cliff just got his 2nd technical booted from game vs St Rita. Can't play Friday at this shoot out in Kentucky on Fri but will be at Chicago Elite Classic Sat.

 

The ref reportedly reached for a common foul before going for the T

Wasn't it for hanging on the rim?

 

Curie will probably reschedule a game for Wed so he can play fri and Sat.

Give me some of that Josh Malone. WR U! Butch Jones is far exceeding my expectations on the recruiting trail. According to Rivals, 16 4-stars and two 5-stars.

33 recruits, SEC, SEC

 

2 top 100 kids on scout.

 

Hope you know im just busting your balls

Haha, I do... After Houston Nutt signed 38 guys one year, no one in the SEC will ever live down the over-signing stuff.

 

Also, we will have to trim that down since we can only sign 30 this year (25 + 5 EE's back-counted to last year's class).
