By the way, there were 5 1st round picks on the floor during the National Championship game in 05. Deron Williams, Marvin Williams, Ray Felton, Rashad McCants, and Sean May. Think about this for a second… Had Charlie Villanueva stayed committed to Illinois, you could have had 6 lottery picks on the floor at one time, during that National Championship Game 👀🏆
Obviously they kept Tim on leave for a reason… Hoping there’s a chance we get him back. Tim has been very active on social media and even did a CI Living stint this week… Doesn’t seem like Tim wants to leave. Pay the man! 💵 If he stays in Chicago, that would speak volumes that we should bring Tim back🙏🏻
What about Nick Irvin? He's at ASU with Bobby Hurly who's on a pretty hot seat. Is there REALLY no chance of that given all the past drama with the family? $500k would be one hell of an olive branch and his brother's school (Kenwood) is churning or D1 guys every year that Illinois hasn't had much of a sniff at
Last point I’ll add, If you have $500,000 to fill Tim’s void, does that really fill Tim’s void? 🤔 If you were going to replace Tim, for all the value he brings in Chicago relationships, his impact in his community, his development… You would have to pay another person Antigua money to get the same value in return. 💯💯 That’s what Illinois should be evaluating here. TA is the ideal protype and perfect assistant you would want at Illinois in this time of ascension and new age era of college basketball. 10-20 years ago, we would have paid Tim $900,000 for what he did and what he can bring. Times have changed a bit, and that point stands strong that Piper brings up here.. Chicago can sell itself more now… But for how long? How sustainable is International recruiting and Chicago “selling itself”?? Haven’t we learned those lessons in the past? I think we need to still bridge the gap from the past a bit and go all in on the 27 class and on the city of Chicago, because ultimately it will benefit us long term. And there is no better time to further entrench yourself in the City, than now when your program is on the rise! 🔶🔷
I just think it’s naive and shortsighted to let Tim go and not pay him the $200,000 increase he wants and deserves imo. Now I’ll finally hang up and listen Bob😂
Maybe Tim thinks he’s with a Mil now 🤷🏻♂️ At the end of the day, big O came back and hopefully Tim eventually does too. Maybe they can compromise and ultimately they can meet in the middle.. Tim worth $750,000 ? I would say so 💯💰
With those types of ties and “ins” with mean streets, and his development of TSJ, this really seems like a big loss we should try to avoid. And if Tim decides to stay in college coaching I guess is the real question here, why not keep Tim in the family? 🔸🔹

It would be really dope if you guys could start adding in highlights and have clips of these recruits play during these pods…

Is there any indication why Tim Anderson won’t eventually be brought back or allowed back, if he is indeed on an “indefinite leave”?

Yooo
These guys aren’t difference makers and will be recruited over for the portal anyway if they don’t show anything

Too bad these guys won’t be around by year 2.. Underwood is flavor of the month type of guy…. They will be replaced thru portal
Really enjoy your stuff…but Werner, your almost incessant interrupting makes some of these borderline unwatchable.
I think they’re discussion flow is natural
I’m an Illini fan but I’m sorry guy’s, no top tier schools wanted either of these 2
Lol
Yup. They didn’t want Zach Edey either.
And how has programs like Duke and Kentucky done lately with all of their 5 stars. You recruit based on how the players fit your system.
idk how i feel abt lee, but wagler shoots 50 percent from three lol
What are the benefits of an indefinite leave vs just quitting?
Why this way?
