Man looking at that schedule it seems pretty tough, but I know our experience will drag us through some tough wins. I'm m hoping one of the bigs becomes defensive monsters or both...If that happens I'm dreaming BIG..lol

Having said that he's hoping to have an announcement soon . . . he had better have something soon.
Or Shauna will be unhappy. And we don't want that.

She signed a 6 year contract when joining the Illini plus retention bonuses, etc. Shauna will get more $ and already paid well.
If she ever wants to leave for more $ and bigger job there isn't much we can do. We have it good as mutual respect from all parties.
Random that it gets announced once the season rolls around....nope

I honestly think the number of programs that she would leave Illinois for is very small. The programs that immediately come to mind for me are ones like Texas, Baylor, maybe USC, maybe LSU, and perhaps Stanford if Tara Vandeveer's replacement does not work out. Iowa State or Iowa (down the road a little bit) could possibly be an option just because she did grow up in Clinton, IA.She signed a 6 year contract when joining the Illini plus retention bonuses, etc. Shauna will get more $ and already paid well.

Dawn Staley isn't going anywhere unless a WNBA team ponies up big money or a high-powered NCAA men's program wants to make history. UConn will keep Geno's replacement in the family. As long as she feels like she's valued at Illinois (and I have no doubts that Josh Whitman will effectively take care of that), I don't really see a large number of programs that would entice her to leave.

Probably true. But it only takes one. Get her signed!
No doubt! We are in the honeymoon period for a few years. I'm big on Green and have stated it on here from the beginning. The shine always wears off but she is the the right coach to build this program. It was more of IF Green wanted to leave, she holds the cards.
This isn't a stressful situation. She has 4 years left on deal.....extend plus just working out the $ and all the bonus lingo terms
