Oh well, we still have Jerrance...

 

 

crap.

He's getting a ton more money from Marquette. We cant match being as Ron Guenther has us paying ex coaches a crap ton of money.

Apparently Illinois did match and Chew bolted for Marquette anyway, since he's apparently buds with Williams. Weird situation.

Hmm, where are you reading that? I'm reading the other thing. Peoriaman also saying we never had a contract in place with him. What the hell?

Illinois made a counter-offer to entice Chew to stay at Illinois. But the opportunity to join Williams, who has taken Marquette to consecutive Sweet 16s and has turned down multiple job offers from other programs to stay at the Big East school, was too attractive. Chew was scheduled to leave for Milwaukee on Tuesday night.

That's very weird. He took a pay cut to come to Illinois.

embarrassing situation but not cataclysmic.

Jalen James reopening his recruitment?

Yep

Jalen James reopening his recruitment?

Yep

 

i'm thinking groce told him thanks but no thanks.

 

it's becoming clearer and clearer that he's not a high-major player at the division 1 level.

That's what it sounds like. I imagine he ends up in manhattan. Just don't lose Malcom Hill.

[Magnetic Curses]

if we lose hill i will flip the [expletive] out, but i'm confident that we won't.

Not a high major player? Rivals (I know you hate them) has him in their newest Top 100 and the other services have him as a three star.

you'll see why. i was a little surprised that he was playing behind bobo drummond, but then i actually saw him play. it wasn't pretty, he's not 6-4 and he cannot dunk any more than i can.

 

his star has fallen from the scout lists and he has been a 4-star the entire time. the current 3-star rating is just because of the early hype he received. we'll see where he is in the fall.

La Lumiere's coaching staff probably didn't do him any favors. They think they're on the AND1 Mixtape tour.

This is what I've heard also. He's my height and can barely dunk. I'm in my 30s and still dunk easily. And in no way am I a high major athlete. He's also not very quick and not a shooter. I wish him luck, but not losing any sleep over him leaving.

[SouthSideRyan]

That's too bad. Jalen seemed to be all about Illinois.

[illiniguy]

Yep, but he and his AAU coach have both tweeted good things about Illinois after it happened. I am hoping he lands on his feet.

[Smack]

Apparently Illinois is after Nic Moore, might that have something to do with Jalen James' situation? Purdue, Notre Dame, and SMU after him as well.

It sure looks like Groce & Co. decided they like Moore better and that's why James is headed elsewhere.

Calipari trolling IU.

Uthoff is officially going to Iowa.

 

I hope this board is still around when this ugly group of honkies is wrecking shop in a few years...
