Are any of you sure that he even wants to leave? I have heard he just enjoys being a college student, and just likes to be apart of the basketball team.Comment

Who really knows that....either way, it was ultimately his dad's decision for him to attend Illinois...Originally posted by bugerman3 View Post
I would guess there is a decent chance he leaves after the year....then again, if you are correct, he doesn't sound much like he cares if he plays or not...maybe he's a bigger partier at Illinois and could care less about games...
Otherwise, why would he stay?
Oh, and if I were to guess somewhere for him to go, I would guess somewhere like Loyola, Chicago...
If I were to guess a Valley team, my guess would be Drake.Comment

Maybe that's the case, but I doubt it. I can see a walk-on having that kind of attitude, but not a somewhat highly-regarded scholarship player. No way. If he really feels that way then he was a bad recruit and shouldn't be there anymore. I don't want to be giving free rides to kids who are just 'happy to be there', and doubt Illinois or BU or anyone does either.Originally posted by bugerman3 View PostOnward and Upward!

Yea... I think the B10 actually might win the Challenge this year. Plus - it looks like UIUC will be 11-1 at the worst going into conference play. 9-9 in the B10 as the best conference in the RPI standings.... 21-10 going into B10 Trny... say at least 1-1 there... That's a lock for the NCAA at large bid.Originally posted by BUBraves06 View Post

ACC will win it again and by a fat margin.

By saying he is just happy to be there, I wasn't saying that he doesn't try or is content on the bench.. I was just saying that maybe him being on the bench isn't something that will make him leave. I am sure that he has to give it his all everyday or he wouldn't be there. But what is wrong with a kid working hard, being loyal to his scholarship, enjoying college and getting a good education?Comment

I agree with you Mac
I thought the same thing. I think the ACC is over-rated this year primarily because of N. Carolina. B-10 took their lumps last year but have more favorable match-ups this year, and more experienced players than last year.
Illinois looks REALLY good tonight, but I think Clemson will be a t least a Sweet 16 team this year; they really have it all -- great coach, B-10 bulk on the inside, great athletes, good outside shooter. As their guards develop consistency they will be a force by postseason time.
Oh, and Purdue beats Duke tonight..... Book it!

Let's make it 2 jars.Originally posted by MacabreMob View PostThat's a booked bet.

Illinois had a chance but could not get a shot off!!!WOW
Ohio State looked great today. They clean up their game a bit and they can go a long way this year."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

Yikes!
2 is good.
But UIUC losing hurts on my prediction.
Yet OSU helped - but thanks to the ejection to the Miami player.
I don't know what to think of the Duke/Purdue game.
