It's gonna take some Self magic to make this team great.

Nah it's not that bad. McLemore is gonna be a stud.

I don't think hiring Nerlens Noel's dad midseason is going to make much of a difference.

It's worth a try.

Is KBD going to commit to Illinois? I think you guys only have one scholarship left for 14' right?

[Guest]

If Illinois runs off players from the previous regime, would you say they've been "Groce'd out"?

 

 

 

 

 

again, filling the void left by NC's absence.

That's a terrible joke, weber or not it's from you or NC.

You don't think you'll get him?

No Jordan Hulls is going to pay for 4 of our scholarship players to walk on.

Ok, I guess there is a joke in there somewhere? and a shot at IU....

 

I'm asking because Purdue is obviously recruiting KBD as well. If Illinois is down to 1 Scholarship in 2014 is KBD the player they take?

 

Also, in an unrelated note, did all of IU's 2013 commits sign today?

Yes, but I hear Davis and Hartman are starting to have issues in the classroom.

[Bruno7481]

You guys are hilarious.

 

I think everyone signed but Williams, who will do so next week in his hometown.

 

Apparently Bob Knight is on the call for the IU/Georgia game next week in Brooklyn. That will get all the old timey fans revved up.

Yes we are going to take KBD if he wants to play here.

Sounds like Groce is recruiting Finke pretty hard too, I'm sure there are others. Man if Groce gets more than 13 guys committed for 2014 scholarships the IU fans around here are going to have a field day, lol. Hopefully KBD chooses Purdue and you guys don't have to worry about it!

[Smack]

Looking forward to watching Dekker play tonight for the Sconnies.

[SouthSideRyan]

You guys are hilarious.

 

 

This is also hilarious: Indiana has 16 commits for next season.

 

Serious question on that, I understood the Big Ten rule to be you could only oversign by 1?

I'm pretty sure Creek doesn't count because a medical redshirt isn't officially approved until it is needed, and so right now his eligibility runs out at the end of this year. But that would still leave IU over by two, and I'm not sure what else they could do to comply with that rule.

A school is also able to over-sign if a player will obviously be gone (such as one-and-done's). It's pretty clear that IU would be able to do so with Cody Zeller's spot. Where the other spot is coming from, I have no idea.

Obvious as judged by whom? It's not much of a rule at that point.

If pay-walled, the rule -- which is a Big Ten rule, not an NCAA rule, to be clear -- states, "An institution may have no more than 1 initial offer in excess of its institutional limit outstanding at any time."

 

As for interpretation: "Where we get questions is, what standard has to be met?" Big Ten associate commissioner for compliance Chad Hawley said. "What if you had a cut and dried, no-doubt-about-it one and done player, zero chance that player is going to be back? What our advice has been - and it's not a set standard - but the advice has been, if you know with certainty that spot will be available, we will not consider you over-offered if you anticipate that situation. It can come up in different ways: Someone you know is going to turn professional, a situation where a student-athlete had a scholarship awarded and you awarded it to someone who knew they were only going to get it for one year."

[Smack]

Haha, what a stupid rule. All you have to do is say, yep, we know we'll have 3 spots. No proof needed.

[Magnetic Curses]

The Illini will most likely have two scholarships for 2014, i do not expect Mike Shaw back.

 

I do however expect KBD in an Illini uniform.
