So some of the AZ insiders claim teammates and fans disliked him and claimed "good riddance" to him leaving and other AZ insiders say teammates and coaches really liked him with no real locker room issues. What kind of a fan base would be all over the place in regards to the same player?
Good point. We have this bizarre sense of entitlement that players are automatically wanting to come here to Illinois and play for Matt Foley.
Takes a certain kind of kid it seems.
The negative Nelson in me reads “led the PAC 10 in assists” as… was surrounded by player who could knock down open shots in a system that featured more ball movement and less ISO hero ball.
Sure seems like almost too good of a fit based on need, just trying to protect myself in the event that this was one of an illini fans wishes on a monkey paw.
True, though to be fair, he said this a couple weeks before the Underwood yelling at Epps incident some tend to point to. That said, you're not wrong in that there was smoke from several people on that front then as well. Seemed like a very poorly kept secret Epps was not enjoying his time here. In any case, as I said, take what you want out of it- I've known him a long time so I tend to believe him, but I'm also a random idiot on this forum, soooo hahaha it is what it is...
I see a lot of Krissa hate, selfish me player.. All I know is that he was a facilitating son of a !!!!! and we can kind of use of of those PG. I think Williams is fine but I worry he won't be available, way to much smoke on that side of the wall, so get Krissa for a season until Williams is good and let's roll. I think TJ and Coleman learned a lot from a leadership aspect and will keep any clown behavior in check.
Actually no one has said that his teammates didn’t like him, they said fans didn’t.So some of the AZ insiders claim teammates and fans disliked him and claimed "good riddance" to him leaving and other AZ insiders say teammates and coaches really liked him with no real locker room issues.

It’s Juneteenth, so they technically have until tomorrow to meet our information demands.Dear Insiders:
Your Father’s Day Weekend is over. Time to spill the beans on Kerr
I assume he will have to enter the portal before anyone will say much. He has 30 days to do so…Dear Insiders:

I have no insight into his locker room behavior. I do find it curious that he doesn't only rile up opposing fans, but a sizable chunk of his own fans as well.

One of them did. @sharpshot16 seemed pretty adamantly against reaching out to him. That doesn't mean we won't but that was his opinion.

Arizona has a basketball program and fandom that is broadly similar to ours. If we had a championship under our belt, you wouldn't even be able to tell the programs apart.So some of the AZ insiders claim teammates and fans disliked him and claimed "good riddance" to him leaving and other AZ insiders say teammates and coaches really liked him with no real locker room issues.

His last game is probably leaving a mark.
Have heard Steve Kerr is considering changing his name … just because of this kid.
Given our need at PG and what Kerr brings to the table, he'd have to be a serial killer for us to not take a serious look (assuming he'd be interested of course)
In that case we’d lose him to Bama or Baylor in a New York minute

Yes, that was kind of my point.

Just want to be clear on this: you're saying Underwood is Matt Foley, right?
Yeah, I think they’re a pretty good comparison in a lot of ways.
Lute had like 23 tourney appearances in a row or something though. But I overall I agree.
Other than all of their success has been in the last 35 years where our program has had success at multiple different times in history. Their success was under one coach
Interesting article which basically says that Adam Miller's case for immediate eligibility is more or less equivalent to Jeremiah Williams'.

I say I will go with what BU thinks and feels is best. I think its very obvious he likes his paycheck and wants to make the right choice this time around. If it's a legit opportunity for a quality PG I would expect him to certainly kick the tires.
