Now waiting to see which point guard drops out of the draft, enters the portal, and visits.

It is not correct to say recruits do not want to play for Underwood.
It is fair to say kids in general tend to seek immediate gratification, would prefer to get something for nothing, tend to overestimate themselves, don't like to be scolded  -- especially in front of others, and so on. A good part of coaching is helping them get past that and grow up. Overprotective helicopter parents don't help.

I get the impression it may also be fair to say Underwood has a mom problem. Moms played a big role in the defections of Griffin, Miller, and Epps. Griffin's dad was actually pro-Underwood. I heard his mom despised BU. Ditto Epps's mom.

A few years ago, they had a couple big kids and their  dads ready to commit. Then moms stepped in and put their feet down. One of the prospects turned down an Illinois scholarship to be a PWO elsewhere.

Edit: while Gibbs-Lawhorn's mom reportedly has issues, she apparently is expected to be supportive.

Bc I didn’t.  I said he probably would which if he did, means Hawkins is most likely staying in the draft.

I don't recall Dom saying would or wouldn't. He specifically said it wouldn't make any sense.

Hawkins and Shannon are both still undecided. Hawkins is reportedly more likely to stay in the draft because he is a unique talent.

I think Dads hate him too.

Ask Mark Smith’s Dad what he thinks of Underwood.  Or Paxton Warden’s Dad.

Zach Perrin made it all of like 2 months and bailed.  Miller, Epps, Melendez, Podz, Clark.

Brad clearly has problems keeping players, parents and alumni happy.  I speak as an alum. I hate Brad.

Nope, I think Bielema is doing a great job and Shauna Green also good.

I don't think it's fair to say that all moms hate Underwood. There is enough of a pattern to suggest a mom problem.

Paxton Warden's dad made a scene on facebook because Underwood brought in another preferred walkon. Mark Smith's dad is also flakey.

There is no reason to believe Melendez or Podz or their dads have any animosity toward Underwood.

Melton transferred from Illinois and he is still an Illini fan.

Trent Frazier's dad and Griffin's have expressed support for Underwood.

I do not think it's fair at all  to say all dads hate Underwood or that he has a dad problem.
