I heard the family wanted Storr close. Assuming that is true, and they are still from Rockford, Madison makes a lot of sense.

When Chin and Antigua left, Storr and Reggie Bass were committed. I know for sure they backed off Bass, but he remained publicly committed for quite a while.

I don't know what happened with Storr for sure. Publicly, he decommited because Chin left, but there was more to it.  Insiders say there were demanding  mom issues. Underwood is apparently not good with demanding moms.

There was some recent mutual interest, but Storr was not a priority, and UI was not high on his list.

Other stuff: Chester recruited  Epps and Harris. TA recruited Clark and Rodgers.

Podz didn't play here because he couldn't guard anyone. He was behind RJ and Goode.

Hey, don't question the virgin Billionaire pedophile who lives in a flop house.

He bet against Illinois in their NIT game and won big.

Yeah Underwood is an idiot. Thank you for confirming that.

Podz lead the WCC in rebounding as a 6’5 guard.  Shut the fuck about “can’t guard anyone”. He’s probably going to be picked in the 2nd rd this based on most mock drafts if he stays in.  Did he somehow learn all those skills in the off-season?

Goode couldn’t guard me. And I’m over 40.

Podz was a player eval fuck up by staff. No other way to put it. Kid was a big scorer in HS. It was not like he didn't have that mentality or ability.
And he was cocky even when he was here which is what you want in a shooter and scorer.
RJ fell apart under the pressure and Goode is potentially decent, but too unselfish.
If we are lucky Goode is B version of Domask as a senior.

We did not have anyone on this team returning who was a great defender. Every team had guys have career games against us and we threw our supposed freshmen stoppers at them also.

We couldn't shoot and we couldn't score for long stretches.

Podz went 20/9/4 this year and shot 44% from three and he took 144 free throws and was clearly hard to cover.


We did not have one player who could shoot 44% from three in an empty gym in practice.

Am assuming Squeaky declared Podz garbage last year.  Hence why he's a second rounder this year.

He's good at yelling and not visiting Mark Smith in the hospital. BOOM!

I was gonna say “I’ve heard he’s good at yelling at black kids.”

“We’re a bunch of dumbasses”. But to save face, tell all the beat writers it was Podz decision and that we wanted him to stay.

Who am I kidding?  Underwood is like the 8th highest paid coach in the country.  He’s laughing his way all the way to the bank and will just retire.  He has no ambition left so he probably doesn’t care.

I don't see how Podz is anything but a massive eval failure but LK is right that good programs wash it off because they know they're going to be right like 80% of the time.

Cf. Watching the Raptors v. Bulls game the other day I got annoyed all over again that we whiffed on VanVleet during a time Weber was offering guys like Jalen James and Michael Orris. If we had been 99-06 Illini I would not have cared.

Podz went to basketball powerhouse Santa Clara because he was inundated with high major offers.
