his name is Tiny Gallon? really?

 

 

Considering when he got to Oak Hill he weighed over 350lbs yes Id say hes tiny now. :D

His real first name is Keith.

DJ!!!!

[Keener98]

Is it me or does the Oak Hill coach just look like snake? I dont think Id trust that guy at all for some reason.

[Keener98]

DJ had a hell of a game. He is an all around player if Ive ever seen one. He may not have put up the big time points, but with a kid like Avery Bradley who every time he touches it he shoots it, thats to be expected. I am definately looking forward to DJ coming to U of I.

tristan thompson is a highly rated 2010 texas recruit.

I'd love to see MSU pull this out. I think UNC is a better team, but I would relish the opportunity to rub big 10 love in the face of others. :D

Xavier's Sean Miller is the latest to say no to Arizona. :)

[Sosa21MVP]

Arizona may as well interview Mike Davis too.

[Guest]

Steve Lavin, plz.

[snoodmonger]

Looks like Miller changed his mind and will take the Arizona gig.

Yes. I'm tired of hearing how the Big 10 is boring. During the late 80s they tried to run n gun stuff with Tom Davis at Iowa, the Flying Illini and the fab 5 and never won anything. Now it seems like a big 10 team makes the fianl 4 just about every year. But out here it's all ACC is awesome, blah blah blah.

IDK..Michigan won the NT in 89 and the Flying Illini were clearly the 2nd best team that year(actually smoked Michigan twice during the season but lost to them in the final 4). So I wouldnt say they never won anything.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

ETA: That's a pretty darn good hire on Arizona's part. Wish they had gotten Floyd instead.

Indiana won it all in '87 and Michigan won it all in '89. For Final 4 appearances over most any stretch of time it's ACC and Big 10 and nobody else even close. Big 10s are spread over a few teams, while ACC is UNC and Duke and nobody else.

Any of you Illini guys hear the rumors that Calipari tried getting Jerrance to go to Kentucky with him? Thank God he turned it down, and has said hes never leaving U of I.

That woulda sucked, cause it'd be back to worrying about committed recruits until they signed the letter. As long as Illinois doesn't lowball him, I don't think he's leaving until he gets a nice head coaching gig.

And who won the Big Ten that year...? Hmm...

 

Hint: Neither the National Champions nor the "2nd best team" (who was actually likely the best).

Was that the last conference title you guys won?

Very funny.

I would agree after the preceding post.

 

That year did involve one of the worst couple shots ever at Assembly Hall.

jerrance is on record saying hes never leaving U of I, but money talks. They need to give him a raise, because they money he reportedly turned down to stay at U of I was no small chunk of change. I dont know how he did it.

i don't think Bobby ever forgave the illini for nabbing the #1 seed that year, while IU had to settle for a #2.

 

jeez, if you think about it, that's got to be one of the best years for any conference in the history of the ncaa. michigan, illinois, iowa, indiana, even minnesota had a good team that year. but they had 4 solid solid solid teams that could have competed for a national championship. big east and your 0 berths in the title game this year, eat your hearts out.

what would he do with the orange cadillac? calipari is such a sleaze, he wants richmond, but he can't get him. in actuality, richmond was recruited by webster, so if calipari were smart, he'd keep him on at kentucky.

 

but seriously, THAT'S EXACTLY why you hire people who have strong ties to your school. howard will one day be our head coach, and he knows it. he may go be a head coach somewhere else for a little while, but he won't be a head recruiter for anyone else.
