Manning to Tulsa. How quick until Self calls Jerrance?

 

I agree with Sulley, I'm not sure he's nearly as exciting an assistant when he's not selling Illinois.

That's probably true.

Ok, that's it, I'm dipping into the koolaid...

I like this hire a lot. Groce, unlike Smart and Stevens, has the stones to move. And lol at the IU fans thinking we will suck next year.

Pretty sure it was a callback to Bruce saying Indiana will suck 3 years back...when they really really sucked.

Lol, they remember that? They did suck, badly. It would be hard to be that bad.

This Indiana fan doesn't think Illinois will be bad. They do have maybe the highest variability in the conference until we see how Groce handles all the talent he'll have back. I'd be shocked if they won the conference, and very surprised if they were better than IU, but they could easily finish anywhere between 3rd and 8th in the Big 10. My guess is that it will go relatively well but not perfectly and they'll finish 4th-6th. That's assuming no Leonard-with him, they could easily be better than that.

MAC Thomas always gets his MAC Man. Like with Beckman, I'm not thrilled with the hire, but he has my support until he proves otherwise. Now job #1: Make Meyers stay.

Awesome, make Meyers turn down guaranteed millions. Yeah that's not gonna happen, but at least you're being realistic with your expectations.

If Meyers needs to leave because of his personal situation, I can't find it in me to complain about that.

 

I think job #1 is to keep Howard. That will go a long way to making sure that everyone else stays.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make that sound like an absolute requirement. But if he can convince Meyers another year would do him good, it would be great for the program. We also need to shore up the Hill and James commitments. I've got a bad feeling that Kentucky or Kansas comes calling for Jerrance, but I hope I am wrong.

If Jerrance goes to Kansas he's probably kissed any chance of ever being our head coach goodbye.

For wanting to work with a Hall of Fame coach at a top program? Are you kidding me? Bill Self is gone, LET IT GO

For taking another assistant coaching job, the next step for him is to go be a head coach. He's not getting any younger.

He's 32, I think he can afford to be lead assistant under a great coach at an elite program for a few years. The youngest active coach this year was Archie Miller at age 33 for Dayton. I agree a head job is in his future, but right now is a good time for him to venture away from Illinois, get some more experience recruiting nationally, and take over a reputable mid-major in the next 2-4 years. That would put him on a timeline to get to Illinois around his early to mid forties if he is successful and Groce falls flat.
