    This Murray kid is solid, but I don't think he has an NFL arm. He's had a couple deep balls that just haven't gotten there.

    He'll be fine, he just won't be able to get to the basket like he did today.

    I think the thing I'm most impressed with is Paul's greatly improved ball handling. Also, Maniscalco really is pretty impressive. Although I think he'll struggle against bigger, quicker guys in conference play.

    And now we go into the patented Bruce Weber idiot stall. God I hate him. Run your damn offense and score. If you keep doing that, they can't catch you.

    Meyers Leonard is better than just about any big man Illinois has ever had right now. Other teams should fear him staying another year. I fear he's gone after this year. He's just so athletic and skilled.

    No, I think the speculation was 9 years and less than $200 million.

    Maybe Bud gets nailed too and this stupid CBA goes away with him. The sooner the better.

    I'm with you. Completely forgettable organization. playing for the angels is like playing in singapore. Do they cain you for [expletive] up? Is that some new slang for sexually harassing someone?

    Why not? Baker plays all the same positions and hits lefties better. DeWitt has reverse splits if I recall, so I'd do this in a heartbeat if that's all it takes. I'd still rather have Headley.

    Who is this dude? If that's real, best baseball name ever, hands down!

    So does a guy count as on their minor league reserve list as soon as he's traded? If you could add him from another team's minor league list, you could do it. But I suppose that's probably not an option.

    Who the hell is even a candidate for the Illinois job right now? Have any names been mentioned?

    Good to see the B1G put the challenge away for the 3rd straight year. The Wisky-UNC game should be interesting. Man, Wisky looks like a worse bunch of chuckers than they were last year so far, but Taylor is gonna be a beast in conference play.

    I don't see why it would.

    And you want to build a $1.2 billion stadium in the suburbs with a retractable roof to combat the handful of people that don't show up to a couple bad weather games? It's not going to happen, nor should it happen, so leave it be. Well, it would also be convenient when we're in the World Series every year too.

    live stream?

    I've thought that Illinois had the dumbest set of basketball players on the planet for the last couple of years. After watching this game, I'm now convinced that it has to be a result of some of the worst coaching ever done. It's so frustrating to watch all this talent go completely to waste. And are they seriously playing basketball in a freaking ballroom? WTF?

    Same effing Illini. Can't do crap down the stretch, especially in the half court. Just so stagnant on offense and no playmakers.
  19. mul21
    I'm sure it's improved due the fact that he's not the #3 guy anymore and has more of a role in practice. Outside of this week, he hasn't had more of a role. In fact, I heard today that the starting QB has a one on one meeting with Martz and the other QBs have to meet with Day or whatever the QB coach's name is. The combination of those 2 things has me concerned ab out how much he may have been able to develop in the last year or so.

    Can't be doing much at this point with 0 points and 2 fouls at the half. I'll watch more closely in the 2nd.
  21. mul21
    I want to punch this announcer in the junk for his tres puntos and y uno crap in the Illinois game. So annoying. Also, we don't look very good defensively right now. And a good defensive team won't let us get any shots off. I'm not expecting much out of the season at this point.
  22. mul21
    Actually it is different isn't it? They use a smaller ball and that will most likely affect the amount of movement they can get on a larger American baseball won't it? Not as much of an issue for a bigger guy like Darvish, but still something to consider. Has he been observed pitching with the larger baseball?

    I saw that as well, this would be particularly effective when a draft class is weak at the top. Just don't sign the top pick, use that money to get guys that might slip due to signability and get another first rounder next year when the draft class is possibly stronger. Since we've all come up with this scenario already, I wonder if there isn't some language in there that reduces your "pool" if you don't sign a pick/several picks.
  24. mul21
    I suppose you could game the system by taking 2-3 really high profile tough signs and using the rest of your picks on crap you don't care about, either forcing them to sign for well below slot or not at all.
  25. mul21
    Wait, what? I'm not an expert on this stuff and I may have missed some of the news, but why would players who aren't already our property be training at our complex? Because it's a development complex designed to get in good with players before they sign, perhaps contributing to development and helping determine if they're worth signing or not. But since you can't pay all of them all the money it might require, plus the fact they now have to register, it really takes away a whole lot of the incentive to do it in the first place.
