Buehrle>Wood

The one dollar razors seem terrible for someone who shaves often.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) He has zero fouls..... So it can indeed only get worse for him.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 16, 2013 -> 07:39 PM) It will get better. Not for Aaron Craft. Jim Burr is awful though

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 16, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) Why do I have this weird urge to bet the house on Illinois? They seem to always play undefeated OSU tough and 32 points is a lot. They should have Grove give the pregame speech. That should fire anyone up. He'll have him coach too. Can't be any worse.

At least we can look forward to Illinois pounding OS today to take our minds off yesterday.

Espn says Alexander's recruitment probably isn't over. Lol, good god.

It's too bad Jerrance Howard wasn't retained on Groce's staff.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 11:22 PM) Sorry to rub it in Illinois fans, but are you kidding? Did you really think you would get this guy? Do yourself a favor and assume Illinois will not get a 5-star recruit until they are at least a perennially top 25 program again. Even then, reality check, you probably won't get them very often. The blue chip recruits go to the blue blood schools. It's part of what is ruining college basketball. The same teams win every year with some new superstar, that superstar leaves, but the recruiting remains. Good old SMU Mustangs. Truly one of the blue bloods.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 12013 -> 10:57 PM) Rumors (on the message boards) that Cliffs parents told Illinois coaches he was coming to Illinois. Hard to believe that's true, but if so, wow. Heard the same. Wouldn't surprise me at this point.

At least we can still non-hypocritically mock he gawn for Creaning.

Okafors dad with the orange tie. Illinois shocker announcement confirmed.

He's not 18 until tomorrow so makes sense he wont sign. I believe it'll still be during the early signing period.

Yeah, I guess I kind of like that Illinois hasn't been part of the rumors today, since it involves the other two.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 15, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) So you are telling me no other schools had made a single call to him at all during that time? He had 8 offers. Did those all come before his soph year and after he said he was opening up? Not from Illinois. So no, he wasn't poached.

Hey at least the Lyle/Cliff package deal could be back on. Im dreaming.

He had a ceremony for his signing today. Doubt he would do that and then switch. Doesn't seem to be any concern from those in the know with Illini basketball.

Don't think there's anything to worry about regarding QS fwiw.

There were a few posts that asked Rooks directly why she doesn't think KU is in it and why such a sudden change. She ignored all of them. I found this weird since she's usually so great about answering anything on the premium board. I think Cliff told her, but told her not to say anything..or at least I hope. Who knows.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 03:28 AM) Racist Indeed

Yeah Ekey is shockingly athletic. Dude can fly. Wasn't expecting that.

Ray Rice is a beast

Okay well she changed her post now. Now its 70/30 Illinois vs DePaul

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 14, 2013 -> 01:11 AM) No way. She's the only one who knows anything. Always texting him and stuff, so we will see.

Ruh roh. Taylors Rooks complete 180. She said all this time that it was KU or Illinois. She says KU is out (no shocker there), but she thinks it's DePaul. Not good.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Nov 13, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) Using composite rankings Illinois will have landed remember i #3, 33 and 40 players in the country and OSU #18, 30 and 63. Each class also has an unranked big man. Yeah if Alexander committs I dont think anyone would take OSUs class over Illinois. I read the same scout article too and dont remember saying anything different.
