meh, we're a basketball school again - IlliniSax05 Yesterday, 10:06:24
This has not been a fun offseason - illini21 Yesterday, 9:12:37
- It gives me an awful feeling that we've topped out, and the decline may be starting... - uofi1998 Yesterday, 10:28:57
  - What’s the critique of Hauck? - CanHartlebHireSnider Yesterday, 11:13:23
    - Hauck, perhaps undeservedly, will be the scapegoat - bjl63 Yesterday, 11:20:35
      - any scheme has so many variables who knows what we'll end up with, but... - ijustkrushalot Yesterday, 11:58:03
    - IDK... just don't get a great feel about him. Hope to be wrong, of course* - uofi1998 Yesterday, 11:15:47
      - he seems ok, but the degree to which we bought into just being Montana - ijustkrushalot Yesterday, 12:00:41
        
        Other way. - EffinIllini Yesterday, 12:03:42
        
        chumped like a chump - ijustkrushalot Yesterday, 12:04:19
  - I think we're taking a step back this year, and I don't think our ceiling is much higher than we've - ijustkrushalot Yesterday, 10:54:28
    - Ceiling is one thing... my concern is about our history of being black or white. - uofi1998 Yesterday, 11:00:02
      - I agree with that and I'm not blown away by Hauck, Bert has enough of a leash that I'll wait and see - ijustkrushalot Yesterday, 11:04:38
        
        Things change year to year now... so down years just don't get the patience they once did... - uofi1998 Yesterday, 11:17:17
        
        It could be Matha-Moss level bad* - bjl63 Yesterday, 11:21:51
        
        We also have a favorable schedule next year. Hopefully the DL thing is just a one year blip.* - Warrin'_Illini Yesterday, 11:12:23
        
        We shall see but read somewhere we are unlikely to get any of the top 10 in the state this year - bjl63 Yesterday, 11:18:37
        
        We are barely even in the conversation for most. And, even the ones where we may get a visit - UofIL6 Yesterday, 11:22:06
        
        IDC if it's the worst class in 40 years... 0/10 would be an abysmal failure in recruiting... - uofi1998 Yesterday, 11:20:10
  - I just don’t understand the strategy with the DL and LB - bjl63 Yesterday, 10:39:47

We had depth? * - bjl63 March 30, 2026, 21:52:44
At least that's a position where we loaded up with talent in the portal and had no defections - UofIL6 March 30, 2026, 19:17:28
- We’re running the 3-3-5 for a reason* - bjl63 March 30, 2026, 22:10:50
  - going to be a 1-4-6 at this rate* - Orangeillini March 30, 2026, 22:59:15
