Obviously a really talented player but we aren't talking a truly elite prospect and he wasn't dominant this year at East St. Louis. If he doesn't want to be here, f*** him. Don't even waste time re-recruiting him. He's had to be "won" back twice now. Not worth a 3rd try.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 12:56 PM) Tilmon situation is weird as hell $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ talks

Hope Illinois has made it clear they're not allowing him to go to a big ten team or a team on their schedule (e.g., missouri) edit: actually, can they even do that? or is that just for transfers?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 5, 2017 -> 12:21 PM) I get bullied in here so yeah I'll steep to point out the hypocrisy. Trump is a silly man who I don't like and never have but I have a real issue with the way the left has attacked his family and his daughter specifically. It's cheap. There are people reporting on his grandson but then when Biden's kids have some freaky love triangle and Kaine's kid gets arrested for being a thug no one even talks about it. Your teamplay makes you blind or at the least hypocritical. I agree with you here, but the big problem is that Trump invites those sorts of attacks whereas Biden or Kaine don't. Biden is a bumbling fool but he's not malicious about it. He doesn't piss people off. Trump does.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) I expect huge strides from Illinois this year under a guy who made something out of Oklahoma State with a strong recruiting class. So thrilled all the recruits are staying I suspect next year will be rough and they'll be back on the bubble. Losing Hill is going to be tough. Who's your go to guy on this team? JCL? He's too inconsistent. Much like the Sox, at least there's hope going forward. I can watch a losing team if I know it's building towards something. When it's a losing team that has no hope, like the last few years, that's when it's tough to watch.

Seriously though, the stupidity of the admin just blows my mind. It's not asking much to check your history to make sure you haven't said something that contradicts what you're about to say. You don't have to look back at every VHS tape from your interviews in 1983. But for f***'s sake, it's Twitter. It's a God damn search engine. It's not difficult or time consuming!

Pssh, #faketwitter

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 01:28 PM) MLB Trade Rumors‏ @mlbtraderumors 4m4 minutes ago #Cowboys QB Tony Romo is retiring from the NFL and taking a job with CBS. For more, follow @pfrumors on Twitter. Dude went from a Div 1-AA QB to being an undrafted free agent, to being a holder, to being a back up QB, to being a starter for the Dallas Cowboys earning 127 million in contract money (not including endorsements), banging hot blondes all over town, to the #1 broadcast team for CBS. Not a bad 13-14 year run.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 4, 2017 -> 01:13 PM) What part of NY? I mean, Niagara Falls is really f***ing far from NYC/Statue of Liberty. Yeah, not sure you can do both. Assuming you're starting from Chicago, that's a 9-10 hour drive, so Thursday is basically shot. Niagara Falls is at least a 1/2 day to enjoy, then you gotta drive another 6 or 7 hours to NYC. And then your wedding is on Saturday. That's a tight window.

TRADE HIM

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 3, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) The S8's hardware looks great. I contemplated ordering one. Then I remembered Samsung's crap software goes to a crawl after a few months like Windows Vista. I hope Samsung at least pioneered the industry for new screen technology and design. Because the S8 is a gorgeous piece of hardware. My wife and I are still using Note 3's from 5 years ago. This thing is so fast in comparison. Even if it slows down a decent amount it's still going to be a massive upgrade. And my God, that display. The minimal bezel is so nice. I just hope the batteries don't blow up. We did the same pre-order routine last fall with the Note 7. The day after I submitted the order they stopped sales.

Can't wait for this championship to get scrubbed from the record books when the NCAA comes down hard on...............................ha ha ha ha ha, oh wait, that'll never happen.

Jesus, phones are expensive. Just pre-ordered two Galaxy S8+ phones for my wife and I. $1,850 with tax, not including the two $100 promotions i'm going to order (they provide a free bluetooth headset that is normally $150 and a 256gb memory card that is normally $150. I don't need the headset but the big memory card is worth it.) Got them on a buy one, get one free promotion, so that number is slightly smaller. But still, it'll end up being about $1200-$1300 for two phones. I guess given the amount of time you spend using a phone these days that's money well spent. But it's a tough pill to swallow when i've literally never spent more than a penny on a cell phone. They've either been free or one cent through Amazon.

Or they're negotiating. I would imagine denying immunity is a common initial "offer."

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 30, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Jesus Christ you're shallow as f***. It must be hard work being so perfect. I'm always confused by this type of response. If he's not into it, he's not into it. What's it to you?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 08:17 PM) Williams and Pickett reaffirmed with their commitments with Illinois today. Frazier last week and Tilmon says he is, but we will see He'd be dumb to bail. Sounds like Missouri is trying to get him, but if you're Illinois you're not allowing him to go to a rival and a team on the schedule. Is he really going to sit out a year?

Dang, all the blue bloods are coming after Mark Smith now. Missouri getting an in home, as well as Izzo. He's publicly stated his love for Illinois. Hope that's enough. He could be a good 3-4 year PG and a great add to the 2017 class.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Mar 28, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) The most recent convo came regarding women getting angry about being called "girls", and in the argument the point was made that women don't call men "boys" which is categorically false. "I'm with the boy" "me and the boy" "hey i hear you have a new boy" etc etc etc etc Me: Then, here's my post that got the angry ball rolling: Her: Me: Her: And it devolved from there - where I ended up getting painted in pretty f***ed up strokes by the gang of women that joined in the convo. Thoughts? Ways for me to improve? Don't. They're unreasonable and illogical. They don't deserve an audience, much like the extreme conservatives that are Trump supporters. I'm a conservative but i'm not going to engage with those people because they are too far gone. I don't want them in my party. You shouldn't want those people in yours either.

So are the Cavs going to make it out of the east? They're pretty terrible on defense.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) It's his alma mater. Is there anyone out there who wouldn't dream about coaching their alma mater? He may dream of it but if he's at a better spot with better future prospects (in LA v. Bloomington, Indiana), it's not an easy choice. What was he doing when Crean was hired? If he wanted to come back why not do it then? Was he still at Iowa at that point?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 11:49 AM) And the odds are pretty high that by waiting to announce, IU did its homework behind the scenes with no one watching. Or, seeing what was happening, they felt compelled to make a move before someone they wanted went elsewhere. I get Indiana has the name, but what is their roster/recruiting outlook? The Alford connection seems weak. Yeah, he's got the connection, but he's at a blue blood program with great players and has a great recruiting class next year. Why on earth leave that for Indiana and a semi-rebuild?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 10:09 AM) Walker is staying with Illinois. That means they indeed have their guy too. Doesn't sound like the Mark Smith crew took to well to Cuonzo either so that's good. Source?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 09:10 AM) And on the continuing list of positions that have been completely flip-flopped, now the Democrats are talking about shutting down the government if they don't get their way. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/us/polit...crats.html?_r=0 You know the response: #itsdifferent

These rumors remind me of the "Brad Stevens is on a jet to Willard!" nonsense. No way anyone knows whether those four guys have been contacted or interested.
