Brad Underwood as our coach we should/and most are/ be very happy overall. Think about this for a second:

7 years in and we have a bonafide national relevant program.
7 years in and we have multiple top ranked classes with incoming HS and above avg to outstanding transfers.
7 years in and we have a coach who had displayed a stubborn mentality to not change, play his way, learn his way, play only older guys, or else.
7 years in and we NOW have a coach who is more even keeled, has learned to play/coach other ways/has a demeanor that is more well liked overall and one that the players seem to respond to better.

He still has the fire, he has the drive to make our ILLINI great, but a willingness to change and adapt to be better....that is growth and ability to adapt.

We could have this, and many were asking for it by the way at one time, I am one that is glad we have BU, not the alternative for our program.

Let me know when the Illini make the second weekend of the Only Tournament That Matters.

Hopefully this is the year.

Fair enough, that is the only thing missing as well imo, however in todays new age of transfer NIL issues, a coach that is willing to adapt, and learn and teach and build a winner is going to be a godsend down the line I think. We will see on the 2nd weekend.
