That's how you can tell Illinois is not a blue blood. If we were, the fan bases that lose recruiting battels to us would do so with quiet acceptance, instead of weird justifications. I saw a UK fan on a message board say, "He will be at Illinois this year. He will be at Kentucky next year."100% of posters on the UK rivals forum agree with this statement.. seriously lol
This may already be happening in the B1G. You'll never hear a current BB say it, but I am sure there are plenty of schools hate seeing our staff on the road these days.That's how you can tell Illinois is not a blue blood.

When people start to say things like "Illinois is Illinois, they get who they want.", we can talk.
James Brown is the name of the guy you wondered about.............................Could be my age, but I have not a clue what this means lol.....
Imagine the salt when Lexington native Jasper Johnson commits to the Illini(his dad played football at Kentucky).That's how you can tell Illinois is not a blue blood.

Let's combine that with a sponsor for our new Canadian recruit. The marketing opportunities are endless...Not to mention, more than several years in a row of very high level recruiting. If we can pull in 5 stars every single off-season roughly for the next 5 years, then at least we can be considered "Blue Blood lite".
But it's gonna take some time. Fortunately we are trending upward, no doubt.
After watching numerous Riley highlight videos how could you not be impressed.This kids arsenal of moves left his defenders shaking their heads.He can score in every way at 6'9,will be a matchup nightmare and maybe teams scoring leader.By the big 10 season the national media will be singing fighting Illini praises.Not meant as response to above.100% of posters on the UK rivals forum agree with this statement.. seriously lol
I'd much rather UConn level of nouveau-riche, please.With no disrespect intended to the proud century-long history of Illinois Basketball, to heck with the blue bloods, I want to be the nouveau-riche, there-goes-the-neighborhood insurgent.
Let's be UNLV.
Hoping he can be as good as the last really good, highly ranked player to come out of Canada, Jamal Murray. He's even ranked right about the same as Murray was coming out of high school (~10-11). He turned out to be pretty good for Kentucky, and obviously he's had a stellar NBA career so far.After watching numerous Riley highlight videos how could you not be impressed.This kids arsenal of moves left his defenders shaking their heads.He can score in every way at 6'9,will be a matchup nightmare and maybe teams scoring leader.By the big 10 season the national media will be singing fighting Illini praises.Not meant as response to above.

I saw that earlier and dug in a little. I didn't listen, but based on the comments it seems many Hoosier fans really dislike these podcast guys.
No idea, but it sounds promising. I bet @Indy Illini Fan has some knowledge.
Mike Shaw 2.0Am afraid that young man peaked to early and then stagnated.
We have as much raw talent as we've ever had on this team. While we have a great deal of raw talent, we do not have a lot of experienced players. I think we may go through some early season growing pains due to our youth, limited time most of our team has spent working together as a group, and the monster schedule we've got early on. My prediction is that we finish the season as the 4 or 5 seed that no one wants to see in their quadrant of the bracket. If that's how things go this year, I'll be more than happy. Any margin that we can finish over these sorts of expectations would be gravy from my perspective. Regardless, I haven't been this excited to see an Illini basketball team take the court in quite some time.After watching numerous Riley highlight videos how could you not be impressed.This kids arsenal of moves left his defenders shaking their heads.He can score in every way at 6'9,will be a matchup nightmare and maybe teams scoring leader.By the big 10 season the national media will be singing fighting Illini praises.Not meant as response to above.

Edit: @goillini30 with the quick info! Nice.
Not sure that I get your meaning here. What is a "poverty program"? I know they got some deep pockets.IU is a poverty program and if Woodson doesn't make the 2nd weekend this year ... He's gone ...![]()

Listened to some of that episode... Woodson saying last season was a success? Delusional. I can't see him sticking around with another mid-BIG finish and/or early tournament exit.IU is a poverty program and if Woodson doesn't make the 2nd weekend this year ... He's gone ...![]()
