RayJ, TSJ and Hawkins gets Illinois up to 16 in T-rank and also causes Squeaky's head to explode.  It's a longshot but would love to see Squeaky wrong as usual.

Probably another 8-9 seed team after Underwood coaches the down though. :)

Africa has for more natural resources than any Scandinavian country.

But who’s benefitting? Likely the powers that be that are leftover from colonization.

I remember when Rayj made that video with Kim Kardashian.

Maybe still fighting with spears and swords instead of rocket launchers and automatic rifles?

Isn't illinois a top 20 program historically? 

Sorry but I expect more than getting into the tourney.

Yep.  And when he makes the S16, that won’t be enough either.

The guy simply can’t win with our fanbase, no matter how much he wins.  Doesn’t matter.

It’s frankly probably over for Underwood here.  I can’t think of a time a coach overcame this sort of fan sentiment.  I just think it’s a shame we finally got a good coach after a couple decades and our idiot fans want to run him off. 

Note:  Tempo, I don’t mean you.

It would be nice to make the S16 and see what happens. Of course, that would require Underachiever actually making the S16 first.

I don't think the general fan base overall is screaming for his head at all.

Look at the Loyalty board.
They love him.

I think he is only in real trouble if he misses tourney next two years.
Minor trouble and could move on if no S16 in next two years.

I don't think this board is representative of anything.

IF...IF that were to happen, a starting lineup of:

PG RayJ -
SG Harmon
SF TSJ
PF Guerrier
C/PF Hawk

Backup is:

Harris/Gibbs-Lawhorn-Moretti at guards
Rodgers/Goode/Domask/Hansberry at forwards
Dainja/Hansberry at center (non positional lineup will win out)

This starting lineup would be better than last years, all 5 positions can score, 4 of the 5 can facilitate, and 3-4 can be go to players IF...IF they play together.

If Hawk and TSJ don't return, then 2 more recruits will be signed (who knows talent level) and then I think Rodgers or Domask with Dainja start the year.

Interesting add to the portal:

Parker Braun: Santa Clara is in....once walked on at Mizzou over offers from us and others. Played well at Santa Clara, could be an option if we have 2 more slots open up (Hawk-TSJ) Good shooter, shot blocker, rebounder?
