Huskerpapa Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hard to believe Illinois doesn't own Chicago. They have Chin on the staff and I sort of thought he was Mr. Chicago... I do like reading this: Coaches from Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State and Northwestern have been at games to see Fenwick’s talented sophomore Bryce Hopkins. Illinois has not. https://247sports.com/Player/Bryce-Hopkins-46059170/ mwm89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 The knee replacement that Underwood had was in August. Chin Coleman's defense of not being out on the recruiting trail (trail? hell, we're talking about local high schools, but whatever) due to Underwood's knee surgery seems … a bit of a stretch. That might explain him not getting out in September; it doesn't explain his entire staff not showing up in December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can certainly understand someone thinking, at the time, that he'd be a good hire. Holding onto that view for the next 3-4 years, though, that would be a problem.

That's just legit dumb at this point. I had hoped Nebraska would never play the freakin' Zips again. And then we paid them twice (which NU also did with N. Illinois because we canceled the Soldier Field matchup after the B1G expanded to 14 teams & re-created the scheduling to have the two NU's play the next week after the now-nixed NIU Chicago game). Huskers like to fund smaller programs, I suppose. I'm personally tired of this type of deal. But, I guess it's tough to find 'buy' games willing to come to Lincoln....

We may come out of this with a W on the field, but we are going to come out with an L in the whole deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm89 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Lou Henson never seemed to have that problem (recruiting Chicago). Of course, I'm going back some. I'm sure Self didn't either, but I don't know he never stuck around that long. Edited December 19, 2018 by mwm89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BmoreRed Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) This will help Illinois' recruiting. Not sure how I feel about the NCAA selecting players to invite to these camps. Would be nice to have up to 600 prospects coming to your campus on NCAA's dime https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2018-12-18/four-sites-selected-youth-basketball-camps?cid=InsidetheNCAA_tw_sf204466992&sf204466992=1&fbclid=IwAR1B0cL7EijGuvtfZpgK87l8hfaEjE5jMjUGIsypjfyZyiDHwQGFVIyFIWw Edited December 19, 2018 by BmoreRed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champaign is centrally located between St Louis, Chicago, and Indianapolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
