Read an article that was praising while at the same time criticizing Underwood for the heavy European focus.  Personally, I like it and so far we're seeing NBA caliber players suiting up.

But the flip side is that opposing coaches will use it against us in local circuits, AAU, etc. That underwood thinks American players are bad and he wants Europeans. That is a problem.

Interesting article and I hadn't thought of it that way. I guess winning matters most and last year we didn't win much, this year I expect much better things. Still some type of balance is probably better in the long run than swaying too much to one side.

You know what would be helpful? A link to the fucking article.

Negative recruiting is nothing new.

It’s 2025. The really good players want a big bag and a defined role that gets them to the next level. I don’t care where we get them. We aren’t sucking Robert Smith or some scum bag AAU coach’s dick to get a key player anymore. The former power brokers are just mad that they’ve been cut out of the deal.

Welcome Quinton Kitt - Class of 2027, early bird, in state, No #2 in state 6'6" player 4*

https://247sports.com/college/illinois/article/illinois-fighting-illini-basketball-basketball-2027-east-peoria-forward-quinton-kitt-commits-263592580/

Kid just scored 29 and he looks to have a Wagler type of game.

2027, Wagler 6'6 (?), Brown 6'4, Petrovic 6'2, Kitt 6'6', Lee 6'4, Rodgers 6'6, Morillo 6'7, Rankin 6'1 all PG/SG/CG possibly in 2027 for our ILLINI, man that is stacked right there. 6 rotation, Rankin will not count and probably won't play much if at all?
