I think MU fans are merely hoping this means he can't recruit.

I can tell you, Illinois hasn't had someone with his basketball mind since Kruger and hasn't had this commitment to assistants since...well...never.

JT sucks, but it's one player.

JP...well, what were his other offers again?

BU will get his guys in there. I have no concerns.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

You sure loved the Groce hire at the time, too. (nm) - zounami MU - 4/8 16:45:35

Not even the same. I'm excited about this hire. - tjwheeler UI - 4/8 22:16:21

Well, for one, these aren't his first 5* recruits - MoGold MU - 4/8 14:19:18

Tillmon is on the way, possibly Knox. - 1500University MU - 4/8 11:16:06

He also really impressed CJ Roberts family and was able - zounami MU - 4/8 11:43:36

Underwood is an extremely poor recruiter, and I'm not even - zounami MU - 4/8 10:36:20

All in the land of zounami. LOL(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 4/8 13:49:13

I would probably say he is a better - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 4/8 11:23:58

Cuonzo has been to a Sweet 16... - zounami MU - 4/8 11:41:30

I think both were good hires - Hoosier Daddy1 IU - 4/8 11:53:25

The fact that you think Underwood has been to a Sweet 16.... - zounami MU - 4/8 16:42:58

You lecturing someone about facts? LOL(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 4/8 22:16:40

He will be fine(nm) - BOILERTIGER MU

- 4/8 09:51:28

John Groce was fine - JimD MU - 4/8 10:09:03

Actually, Groce was awful when it came to recruiting. - tjwheeler UI - 4/8 13:34:58

What coach is tampering with Pickett - doughboy MU

- 4/8 09:41:56

He survived on Juco and prior kids. May need the same at IU - TigerFan92 MU - 4/8 09:40:00

He's a good game coach - JimD MU - 4/8 10:01:57

Yes(nm) - TigerFan92 MU - 4/8 10:07:20

There was a ton of bs said about the hires by Illini fans. - 1500University MU - 4/8 09:30:57

Don't you think it's a bit early to make a judgement like - MakeShift MU - 4/8 09:28:06

Exactly. (nm) - tjwheeler UI - 4/8 13:35:31

Yet, Cuonzo is retaining and gaining recruits despite taking - JoplinTiger07 MU - 4/8 10:23:30

I agree, but there is a double standard about this topic - 615Tiger STL - 4/8 09:45:07

I think you're missing the point. - JimD MU - 4/8 09:36:37

Illinois is probably the 6th best job in the Big 10. - Evenflow MU - 4/8 10:10:40

I said "Top 10 or so" - JimD MU - 4/8 10:14:52

You're equating some historical ranking with - Evenflow MU - 4/8 10:20:51

Dont know about that - JimD MU - 4/8 10:35:28

arguable top 15-25, no higher(nm) - TigerFan92 MU - 4/8 09:42:07

Not true. Number 11 - JimD MU - 4/8 10:00:40

The job is more like #20, basically the same as Missouri. (nm) - zounami MU - 4/8 11:49:29

Opinion and not by last 40 year standards or more recent - TigerFan92 MU - 4/8 10:08:33

I gave you evidence. The AP has been doing this continuously - JimD MU - 4/8 10:13:27

I agree with you- it is a top 10 approximately - MakeShift MU - 4/8 10:35:05

I agree with you, Every coach deserves time to prove himself - JimD MU - 4/8 10:48:10

Probably still too early to tell. Turnover is common after - TB Tiger MU - 4/8 09:25:48
