Yep. People who joined 3 weeks ago can't possibly know anything. You have to be here at least 15 years to be knowledgeable..

Honestly that doesn't sound like a problem to have.... no team runs 12-13 deep. Having good student athletes at the end of the bench that won't cause trouble is a good thing imo
Two things:
The player has not reopened his recruitment, and BU doesn't have any openings.
Yes, I know coaches can take too many commitments and sort it out later. The old rule was they could be over when fall classes started, but had to have a plan to be down to 13 by the beginning of practice.
That said, my observation is BU has not done that. He has even left vacant rides for contingencies. Perhaps he prefers to see what happens with Williams and Harmon?
BTW, anyone, who is PM?
Why does everyone assume KK is even interested?
That's kind of why I think Gentry was the straw that stirred Underwood's drink. UI's offense was best with Gentry on staff even though it seemed like Chin and OA disliked him
Paul Mulcahey
And then we sit on this board and cry about kids not having loyalty…
It hasn’t worked for me. I’m hoping 20 does it.
Thanks.
You don't even know who they have tried to get. They can't contact Krissa unless he enters the portal .Those two players knew the situation when they came back.
I know that the insiders have been pretty clear that Underwood, to this point, has no intention of pursuing Kriisa, so that's bad.
Given the timing of Dennis' announcement and Illinois' confidence the night before (the same night Shannon and Hawkins returned, as I recall), I suspect both those guys expected that Dennis would be joining them. That flopped, and if Underwood won't even try to go after the only good, experienced option left in the portal--or soon to be in the portal, rather--that's bad.

And he won back to back state championships before heading to Kansas. Sheesh.
You have been gushing about Sean MIller since March, I think we get the point of who you want here.
We ask for kids to have loyalty when coaches don’t have any to the players. Underwood flirts with other jobs every offseason and left OKSU after 1 year. Assistant coaches go to the highest bidder. Kids will commit then back out. It’s all a business now.
maybe he is Sean Miller and trying to get a job

Looks like I missed a happenin’ day on here…
How the PG conundrum has been handled this offseason is, as I’ve said before, an absolute failure. It is nearly impossible to fathom how BU and co. didn’t do everything in their power to bring in a stud PG after whatever the hell last season was, especially considering the $ and resources they have at their disposal. Not only did they not do that, but they didn’t bring in a capable/eligible PG for this season-period.
Once Kriisa is officially available, going to be hard to stomach yet another extremely capable PG end up somewhere else. Brad is scarred by last year’s debacle, but at this point the positives Kriisa would bring farrrrr outweigh any “negatives”-in the eyes of just about everyone but the boss. But what do we know I suppose.
I am as big of a Ty fan as much as the next guy on here, but the fact that he is going to be the PG of this team is utterly inexcusable.
Is this team more experienced and deeper than last year’s team (on paper)? Sure. But do I foresee much of a different outcome next March? I do not.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over yadda yadda…
Hate to bring down the vibes but that’s just how I see it. Rant over. Gotta go grab the headband out of the wash-in case it’s needed for spot minutes at the 1 this winter.

Even the insiders don't totally know what Underwood is doing. I believe if Krissa hits the portal the tune will change. Very few of the rumors on this site come true.
Is Williams officially signed? Illinois hasn't announced anything that I'm aware of.
bring down the vibes? you clearly haven't read what ypu've missed in your absence
I wouldn't think he and his family chasing $'s in this day and age would be a disqualifier or is there more? I mean if he were a senior in HS, he and his family would be doing the prudent thing when looking at colleges (NIL). If you can get the gravy train rolling earlier, more power to them.
Free agency sucks and that’s the reason college sports sucks free agency for coaches and players makes college sports a really crappy pro league
