He is either REALLY nervous, or an idiot.

The Chicago woes continue

I hate the f***ing hat dance, just pull out the one you are going to wear.

Both (and not for picking KU but it isn't a secret his grades are really bad).

Picked a bad year to get really into following basketball recruiting again. Man

Dick move, not surprising

Didnt sound like a kid who was sure about his choice.

Is he a one and done guy? The thing is, if you are a one and done guy don't you want to play for a team with a legit shot at the National Championship next year? I really don't think ILL can offer that, and DePaul definitely can't offer that right now. When you think about it, his choice was pretty obvious.

Yes, 100% one and done.

They upped their offer last weekend. Figured they would.

So my prediction from two weeks ago was right, even though I went back and forth.

Oh god, Coach Cal stroking himself on TV

Maybe. He could have also wanted his one year to be assured a tournament run. Kansas was the only team of his finalists that can basically guarantee that.

Deon Thomas/Bruce Pearl sanctions trumps this by a large margin. The day they hired Bruce Weber was also worse, we just didn't know it at the time.

Meh, I agree with Bruce on the BTN special that the loss probably helped relieved some pressure. Plus it didn't cost them anything. Who remembers they lost 2 games instead of one that year?

Tennesse State, UIC

 

Embarrassing, but every program has embarassing losses.

 

In 5 hours we went from being in contention again for a conference title/deep tourney run to still being a middle of the pack Big Ten team.

Seriously.

It's up there. There were some really, really bad days under Weber though. The 33 point Penn State game, the Nebraska debacle, and just his final years in general.

 

At least there's light at the end of the tunnel here. Groce has constructed a roster that wasn't reliant on hitting homeruns in this class to do solid. He's built a hell of a foundation in just two years. If we miss on Matthews then I'll start to worry that he might not ever get the blue chippers in Chicago.
