J. Howard is a great get for some program. Illinois is stacked in prep basketball for '13 and '14. Howard been working them hard for some time.

You think there's any chance Jabari Parker stays home MT2R? I don't.

He really wants to.
Problem is Illinois and DePaul don't give him the nat'l title chance.
If I had to guess, I'd say MSU and Kentucky are in the lead.
Duke has a chance if they can get Mr. Parker to relocate for a year.

Illinois would have had him had they gone the Reggie Theus direction with head coach.

All 5 of UK's starters are holding a press conference to announce their decisions. I can't imagine what it is!

Obviously not unexpected, but bye bye starting 5 UK. Not suprised Teague is going but he really sucks. Everyone else should go and deserves to go.

Duke fans think Parker is a lock but they think everyone is a lock. There's been a lot of smoke about Michigan State as of late as well.

Given their history with the death penalty, I figured SMU would be the last school to hire Larry Brown given his history of breaking NCAA rules.

Sigh. SMU building a coaching staff close to the model I wanted Illinois to pursue. bah.

they're dumb
They have to convince the father to move, first.
Guy doesn't fly anymore and wants to be close to Jabari.

You can tell Jabari wanted to go to Illinois but just doesn't think the program is at a high enough level. Fair enough.

Calipari and William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley, the well-known college basketball power broker, were helping Brown assemble his crew, a report said.
I got banned from many Illini forums when I said the search committee should start and end with WWW's input. We'll see how it all plays out.

oh, i was.

They like temp bans. Takes like 4 temp bans to be revoked on most. Except Illinois loyalty, they go for the banhammer right away.
Inside Illini will just delete posts and threads over and over if they don't like the message. IlliniHQ lets most stuff go until you start pointing out different things. Some guys live in a bubble and don't realize what the academics are like for these true student-athletes and you'll be gone in a hurry if you mention you did recreational drugs with athletes from yyy time and xxx sports.
Illinihomepage doesn't have enough traffic to care.
HailtotheOrange is all pay for content so they end up an immune bubble of low-level East Central Illinois input.

Not hard to set up a new account, though.

HairClubForSelf doing solid work on InsideIllini right now, but my guess is his stuff will disappear in an hour or two. Note, that isn't me. I have an inkling of who it might be. At the very least, he's expressing a viewpoint which is similar to the few connections I have.

I love Bo Ryan looking like a moron. He has a huge god complex, and thinks he's right about everything. This whole situation is so weird though. Why is espn making such a huge thing out of this when it's pretty common to block schools?

its because he blocked the kid from going to the entire ACC but only after Virginia expressed interest
NCAA Basketball Offseason 2012 Quote
04-19-2012 , 12:50 PM
He blocked the entire ACC? That is absolutely ridiculous. I'm guessing because of the ACC-B1G challenge, but anyway that is just stupid.

we watch with bated breath as the wolfpack attempt to win double digit ACC games for the 5th time 38 years.
NCAA Basketball Offseason 2012 Quote
04-19-2012 , 02:16 PM
LOL 38 years won't matter if the Pack wins the ACC. And no I don't mean the ACC regular season. Only UNC hangs banners for things like that. This is actually good for the ACC because it has fallen behind as a power conference recently. They need teams besides Duke & UNC to step to the plate and State is the logical choice given their history. The conference also needs to actually try and market other teams outside of those 2 but Swofford a UNC guy is such a clown he's putting the conference into the toilet.

History aside, Amile Jefferson is supposed to announce tomorrow. Obviously between Duke & NC State. Fingers crossed.

Not really that scared for a couple of reasons. 1, Mark Gottfried is not that great of a coach. 2, LOL State, they normally always underperform. 3, UNC/Duke won't be that bad that State has some free ride. 4, I can't imagine trusting Leslie that much.

I guess it should be good for the ACC. Problem is FSU / UVA almost certainly will drop from last year. Duke will likely drop. UNC of course will drop. Will see what Maryland does but they should be on the up swing. LOL @ VT / Wake especially / BC / GT / Clemson, etc. State has't been really that relevant since the Jimmy V era. Even if they have 1 good year, will see if they can maintain the recruiting luck they have had. Even then, there are always 2 blue blood around 30 minutes away from them that will likely always be strong and ready to pounce. NCSU always finds a ways, especially in basketball, to falter. I remember trying to tempt Cal for a while which never ended up working out.
