College Basketball 2013-2014

[SouthSideRyan]

Black is signing, no doubt. Snider is gone, Cliff is gone. Insiders seem to think something big happened. Like a dump truck full of money or some sort of magicians curse.

 

Anyway, we're screwed again. Happy for you snood, but you gotta feel bad for all of us.

 

The snider thing was a raw deal. Still not convinced your not getting big cliff.

You got him, it is breaking everywhere. Another star leaves the state. The hell with college basketball.

 

If Alexander goes to Kansas, it just shows that showing kids they're your #1 priority means nothing. Self told him he was their backup plan, Snider was recruited over, and they both go crawling back?

It really makes no sense. I just wonder how a week ago this looked like it was going to be a huge day for our program and now I am left hoping Black still signs. We don't ever catch a break.

[SouthSideRyan]

Black committed before Snider and when we were barely a longshot for Alexander.

[SouthSideRyan]

And Jerrance Howard can go [expletive] himself. I never want to see him on campus again

I know, I am melting down a bit.

I'll now get to hear about Cliff Alexander from the many people down here who are about to discover him. It will be very exciting.

I know basketball recruiting can be shady but I hope it doesn't get as bad as football recruiting where most verbals mean nothing.

Damn imagine if you were a Cubs and Illini fan. That would be worse than anything in the world. Oh wait that's me. Edited November 15, 2013 by gscool89

When did self tell him that? Was this confirmed?

[SouthSideRyan]

Alexander and Okafor didn't want to play together, it was pretty well known that Self was prioritizing Okafor/Jones

I find it helps to only be an Illini fan when they are good. 2005 was so sweet.

And then they fell short with one of the best college basketball teams of all-time.

I'm almost rooting for Leron Black not to sign today just so this can go full stupid. Why not at this point?

I think cliff could have committed at any time. I very much doubt he was told to wait till okafor committed elsewhere. The disparity between the two isn't great enough to make cliff a conditional offer.

It is when Okafor comes with Jones

 

Or when you can [expletive] tell him to wait and see and still get him in the end anyway

Because that's [expletive] stupid?

There is now some buzz on 24/7 saying Alexander to DePaul. I don't believe it though because, its DePaul

[illiniguy]

Leron signs. Thank God. Snood I wish you weren't so likeable.

[bukie]

There is some logic to the thought that since Illinois was overcommitted with both Snider and Alexander, Snider going to Louisville works out perfectly to land Alexander, or else Illinois would have had to do some creative maneuvering.

That would be awesome. He said he was going to shock the world. picking Kansas is not shocking anyone.

Yeah, but I can't see him running off a top 30 point that really fits his system. He would have ran Finke off if that was the case.

That's silly

[snoodmonger]

I still think there's a chance cliff goes to UI. Per Bossi, KU staff thought so yesterday.

So what your saying is...no one has a clue

I want you to be right, but I also know you are the guy who also always thinks that you guys suck and then 30 wins later you are a one seed.
