We are Illinois. Don't forget that. With our luck we end up hiring Jay Price.

Or you hire Stevens and he follows in Lickliter's footsteps.

I can't see that one happening. If we get him and keep Jerrance we would be a monster.

[illiniguy]

Wait, I thought poopypants wasn't allowed to hire a white guy?

Best part about all the leaks on the Shaka attempt. Now anyone is fair game.

lickliter continued recruiting mid-major players after he went to iowa, i doubt stevens does the same.

He damn near had Zeller at Butler.

He can't be worse than Weber was and Jerrance managed to get him a 5 star and a ton of 4 stars. Just keep Jerrance and the recruiting will be fine.

I hate that this is bothering me. We aren't getting this guy. Do not buy into this.

are you just being superstitiously pessimistic?

Yep, I took the same approach with my lord and savior Theo.

[Magnetic Curses]

if he is the next coach, i hope he never ever wears the orange jacket. ever.

And the guys who were actually decent all wanted to leave as fast as possible.

Maybe because he was a reaging DBag that forced his son on them? Luckily Stevens is too young for that to be a problem yet.

I like the orange coat. He can make it cool to paint the hall orange again. God I want to be good again. It's been too long.

[Magnetic Curses]

i've kind of done a 180 on stevens, though i'm not sold on style of play yet. he's 35, so he could be our coach for the next 30 years, which is nice if he is successful and IU doesn't fire crean for a while.

no, the orange coat is embarrassing. self refused to wear it and any coach who takes himself seriously will, too.

Stevens would be an absolute home-run. He'd win a national championship at Illinois.

he would definitely add to the list of "heavy-hitters" in the conference.

[Smack]

Doesn't he run a slow tempo offense? Would that sit well with the fans? Especially the ones that bitch about Bo Ryan all the time? Obviously winning trumps all of that.

[Magnetic Curses]

if this actually happens i hope i don't have to take off work for the presser, because i will.

Would be totally worth it.

245th in the country in possessions per game, tied with Illinois, Colorado State and others.

[NeifiIsMyHomeBoy]

Yeah but Stevens is 35 and has two things Bo will never get: Final Fours.

I think he's been in the 300 range before too hasn't he?

I'm not saying he's a bad coach. He's obviously been very good. It's just his style might rub Illini fans the wrong way. I think the consensus amongst you guys on this board is that you hate that style.

I hate that style while we are losing every other game in the Big Ten. If we win I'll begin to love it.
