Brad has a very good siuation at Illinois. Has the support of the AD, fans boosters. He targeted the Illinois job for awhile since coaching at Western Illinois. Highly doubt MSU would be considered
One of the guys on Sleepers, I forget which one, is an MSU fan so maybe it was wishful thinking. Both are always saying how much they like BU and respect him as a coach, to the point where they think he is one of the best B1G coaches (I think they said that).

Neither the OP or Big Z mentioned integration once. It mentions him going home for the holidays and getting to play. The date on the tweet was December 20th. Not one thing about that suggests pre-season integration.

He is worried about our guy getting in because of his brother when there has been no actual indication there is an admissions issue. So again, it is EXACTLY chicken little.

It’s obvious the connection to me without getting into the OP’s unstated intent.

Z posts in December, becomes eligible in January.

His brother expected in July, may clear in August.

We lose the July integration currently in progress.

You can interpret it your way, but the other way is fine too. To each their own.

Live look at me logging onto Loyalty after missing on Storr and Egor

It came out on the bright side but at the time Both of those were pretty big misses.

That May 9th Hoops Recruiting Thread (Egor)...literally within moments..."the ship is on its way"..."the ship has crashed"...

Looks like the staff did a pretty okay job of pivoting. Doubt we get one of Riley/KJ had we gotten Egor, and for sure the value of both KJ and Riley is better than solely Egor. 2M price tag...don't know how it went up like that all of a sudden...but probably no one on this team is even making 1M.

Obviously Storr's gf request didn't make it sound appealing to the staff.

Some here were a bit quick to press the panic button (I might qualify), but this ended up on the bright side for sure. Now it's just gotta all come together.

No one who has real info into it has indicated panic or a reason for concern about him getting on campus.

Let’s wait till August to start being chicken littles.
Let’s not name call. I didn’t say the sky was falling. His brother didn’t start the season because he couldn’t get in to UK. It’s not unreasonable to think tomislav’s delayed arrival could drag into a similar situation and many of us expect him to be the starting center. It’s a deep squad but it’s young and may not hit its stride till early 2025 anyway. Having said that, I slept very well last night.

I was told by someone that works for the U of I that big T was admitted to the university and should be on campus soon. I do not have REAL info though in the sense that i have first hand insider knowledge of it
