Anyone else completely forget that Maryland was in the B10 until reading the RSCI list for this year?

Three Peorians in the top half of that list…. Hope that pipeline revs up again.

that’s stunning when you think about how many Chicagoans alone are in the RSCI top 100.
.
JG will start to land these guys. WRITE. IT. DOWN.
.
We get one of Black, Cliff, or Lyle. I put our odds of landing them in that order.

Self left in 2003. Sherron Collins was in the 2006 class. So he was never an Illini verbal. At least not announced, anyway.
.
He visited Illinois in September of 2005, and was rumored to be strongly considering us, but one trip to KU Midnight Madness and he was “in love”. Self sold him on being “the missing piece to a KU national title”. Which, coincidentally, he was.

What was Sharron Collins? He was headed to Illinois and left to follow Self to KU, from what I remember.

And I think that Malcom Hill is woefully underrated. I think he will be a flat scoring machine before his days wearing the I are done. That kid can play and he’s got the aggressive mentality it takes.

But then again, I really believe that Joe Bertrand can be a true scorer and a tough matchup for most teams, and I differ with a lot of people in that respect.

Geez, Robert, that’s kind of a downer. No one higher than #19 and now we’re in the deep water, trying to land at least one of three top end guys.

Let’s face it, though. BW wasn’t ever, ever going to get one of the big boys, and esp.not after the Gordon fiasco.

So, I’m optimistic about JG. He’s done it before. So, I bet he lands one of these 3 and I’ll go even further: it will be Cliff. (Hint: it won’t be Lyle.)

Gulp.

Just noticed Kentucky has 5 of the top 10. I’m sure that’s all above board.

Put up a sign at Ubben: no Aaron Spearsing.

““Henry had academic goals he needed to reach or he’d be gone”
Seems unlikely since he was academic All-B1G.

I’d rather have Ang Lee as president than Hef. Actually, I’d prefer an astronaut.
