QUOTE(qwerty @ May 3, 2005 -> 10:47 PM) Hate walker, he is extremely overated. If anything Antoine Walker is underrated because everyone just rips on the guy constantly whether he deserves it or not. Celtics 18-9 with Walker and 27-28 without him.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 3, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Hell trade back for Carlos Lee if you need to. Do something though. Well Carlos Lee and his .225 average would fit in with the rest of the heart of the order.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 3, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) how did that tourney end up for illinois?? :headshake

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 3, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Anyway, I hope the Illini gets Marques Johnson, Thaddeus Young, and Mike Conley(or Sherron Collins) next year. I think Scheyer is going to be more like Sean Harrington was for the Illini a couple of years back. Johnson has more potential and is as good as Scheyer without the sexy appeal because he's not from the state. As I've already stated, we have 0 chance at Mike Conley, forget about him. And you are greatly underrating Scheyer, if you think he is going to be Sean Harrington.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) It's kind of depressing seeing Duke come in and get guys like Dockery, Thompson, and Livingston, or Kansas with Wright, or UNC with Frasor. Duke can take all the Thompsons and Dockerys they want.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2004 @ May 2, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) Mavs hold on 103-100. What a great series this has been. T-mac on the verge of a second mind boggling playoff collapse. Yeah, but my question is how do the refs miss Michael Finley knocking the ball from Barry while standing out of bounds with under 1 minute to go in the game. Completely inexcusable.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ May 2, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Rush is probly going NBA, i'm not gonna really hold out hope for him at this point. If it happens it would just be a huge bonus. Rush wants to go to the NBA but isn't hearing what he wants from scouts and GMs so it is looking more likely that he will go to college.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2005 -> 12:18 AM) Dee's stock will never be higher. Not true. Right now he is a SG who has never shown he can run a team by himself. He has to show he is a PG to pro scouts. As opposed to this year where he would almost assuredly be behind Deron Williams, Jarret Jack, Raymond Felton, Chris Paul, Monta Ellis, and John Gilchrist. Not to mention that there are guys like Daniel Ewing, Luther Head, and Nate Robinson who are smaller guards that could all be picked ahead of Dee. I'm not saying Dee won't go pro but I don't see how his stock can't get higher than it is now.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) f*** i meant conley for being the one i heard about have a good amount of interest. Young was suppose to be second. Conley=0 chance forget about him right now, he's basically down to OSU and Wake. The PGs we are going to go after are Sherron Collins (most people think he is as good or better than Conley), and then a few others namely some Willie Kemp, Will Walker, Trevon Hughes, and Josue Soto. Another possibility is Marques Johnson, who plays AAU ball with Semrau who is a combo guard 6-5 who can play some point.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:14 PM) He'll be back. I think so too, but you can never be sure about who will and who won't go pro.

QUOTE(shagar69 @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:08 PM) nice job, this semrau looks like a solid player. and if we got Rush we would have a chance to be very good next year. As long as Dee is back we have a chance to be very good without Rush.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 1, 2005 -> 11:07 PM) Depends who you go by. 99... what you think the chances are of us getting young? I have heard he has serious interest in us. What about thaddeus young? I know they are down the future but i am always for looking towards the future. You list Young twice. Thaddeus Young has kept his recruitment pretty quiet so far. He has his list down to 5 or 6 but hasn't stated who is on it in public yet. My gut feeling would be it is very unlikely he ends up an Illini.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 1, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Brandon Rush is also considering Illinois. As are Anthony Sparks, Mike Davis, and Curtis Brown. Jamar Smith has already committed to Illinois. Curtis Brown, Anthony Sparks, and Mike Davis will not be Illini. Are '05 class is Chester Frazier, Jamar Smith, and Charles Jackson with a very very good chance at Brandon Rush if what I'm hearing is correct.

Looks like Illinois got there first commitment from the class of '06. Semrau is the 50th ranked player from scout.com and a top 30 player on Rivals for those who care about rankings. Semrau's Profile

Stupid Iguchi, why can't you get extra base hits.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) No one talks about this, but how much can be laid on Greg Walker? If this keeps up for 2-3 more weeks, I think he's got to go. I like Walk, but seriously, this is just flat out embarrassing. I honestly think hitting coaches have little to no impact on players performance.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 30, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) For all of you that b**** out Ozzie for PH Timo over Gload... I just b**** at Ozzie for PH Timo period.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) 'Nova-Georgetown, '85 'Nough said. Also... UNC-Georgetown, '82 (Jordan) Michigan St.-Indiana St., '79 (Ever heard of Magic vs. Bird?) DePaul-Louisville, '78 (I can be a homer too.) Nova Georgetown- probably could be considered a better game, although the Zona vs. Illinois game had a little more drama UNC-Georgetown- I'd say no, Illinois game was slightly better, Jordan's game winner was with a lot of time on the clock and Georgetown's last possession was awful MSU vs. Indiana St.- not even close, MSU won that game easily DePaul-Louisville-never seen it I know it was 2 OT though I wasn't the one who said Illinois vs. Arizona was the best tourney game ever but besides the Kentucky-Duke game there is not one game that clearly tops it.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 08:44 PM) He called illinois-arizona the best Tournament game of all time along with the NC-State win. C'mon now. Aside from the Duke-Kentucky game name one game that is clearly better than the Illinois vs. Arizona game.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) I was just pointing out that you were being biased. That was a great game. Don't hate. Double OT does not make it a great game. It was poorly played by both teams and both teams shot under 55% from the foul line including an embarrasing 0-10? something around there by Andre Brown. It was entertaining once it got to OT but lets not pretend that was a great game. Not to mention that it was tied at 55 after regulation and 59 after 1 OT, that was not a great game. A good win for Depaul but not a good game.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 29, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) I'm sure you're not biased or anything. DePaul-Dayton double overtime last year was better... If you like the worst basketball ever played in an NCAA tournament game than yes it was better. I hope that comment was meant to be a joke.

From the Arizona game Bilas: Williams could tie it with a three. Bilas He does!!!! Enberg OOOOOOOOO!!!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 08:58 PM) Shaq bangs the hooker to put Miami up 2 with a little over 30 to play. Vince Carter send it to double OT at the buzzer.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 28, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) Nets fans blow, there places isn't even full for the f***ing playoffs. Nets and Miami about to start OT

I saw this on the illiniboard and I don't think it has been posted. Video
