hoosiertildeath Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 Milw: Again=This reports does NOT say that UNDERWOOD has actually "Did any wrong" !! And - thank you ! This article did say that this investigation started in 2014 BEFORE Underwood became the Coach there !! The Article that you posted says only that an "ASSISTANT " Coach has been charged ! I STILL believe that UNDERWOOD is CLEAN !! Time may prove my wrong , but I hope that it does not !! At any rate , I hope that the FBI manages to root out all of the CHEATERS No matter whose name comes out eventually !! Of course , my # 1 hope is that the FBI finally NAILS cal-hes-smelli and the kanitucky cheaters { The all time KINGS of the COLLEGE BASKETBALL CHEATING HALL OF SHAME} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iuprof Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Guys, I know there has been a lot of back and forth about Underwood and his time at Oklahoma State, and if he was targeted at all. According to the story today with CBS the subpoena does cover the time Underwood coached there. I don't know if he did anything wrong, but still the article makes a point of saying it. Story is about coaches who could be on the hot seat because of the investigation. The quote is from the story, and I provided the link. The story is not great, but it seems to clear up the time frame targeted by the subpoena. " And Oklahoma State has been served a subpoena that covers a timeframe of three different coaches -- namely Travis Ford, who is now at Saint Louis, Brad Underwood, who is now at Illinois, and current OSU coach Mike Boynton." https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/fbi-investigation-has-hot-seat-lists-unlike-anything-college-basketball-has-ever-seen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 PEOPLE !! This LATEST article does not say that Brad Underwood has been served with a SUBPOENA !! However , it did say Jim Larranaga HAS BEEN served with a SUBPOENA !! The only reason for Underwood's name even being mentioned is because he is one of the THREE Coaches who have been the head Coach at Oklahoma State during the investigation which began in 2014 BEFORE Underwood even became the head Coach at Oklahoma State !! Is he to be presumed guilty because of an investigation that STARTED even BEFORE he became the Head Coach at that University ?? That really seems like unfair judgement {to me } !!!!!!!!!!!

We get that he is probably not guilty, but if an assistant of Archie's while at Dayton was being investigated, I would be very nervous that it would get tied to Archie. Until this is all over, we are just speculating about who could be in trouble. They sure didn't hesitate to throw stones when Sampson was here. Edit: They being Illinois fans.

First five star for Illinois since 2002. And snagged out of Chicago. Something his two predecessors said they were unwilling to do, as the price for 5 stars coming out of the Chicago area was too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at the end there was only one school left besides Illinois.... it was Wake Forest. Sometimes, when there is even the hint of smoke, there could later be a fire. Just like when a 5 star, who wasn't even being recruited hard.... lands in the lap of Pitino.... who expresses surprise that the recruit chose his school. Seriously. There has been a long, long history of Chicago prep coaches with their hands out. And honestly I applaud BAM, and Groce for not filling those hands with stacks of money.

Seeking6 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I could respond 2 ways to this kid saying yes to Illinois. First...initial reaction is any 4star/borderline 5 star kid who narrows his list to Illinois, Wake, and USC? Not necessarily college hoops royalty there. Makes you wonder a bit if rankings are being very generous to him now. Second way I could say this is the following. Highly rated 4/5 star player is saying yes to Underwood when his name is associated with FBI investigation??? Hope that ink is invisible come signing day. What happens if Underwood is found to have known about what Ok St assistant was doing? Seems like a good kid by all accounts. Doesn't hurt that Kendall Gill was his neighbor. Either way....we have bigger fish to fry than Illini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a mystery at the time, as to why Underwood left OSU. Came as a surprise to the OSU AD, who learned about his leaving via twitter. Now, we may have a better idea as to why Underwood left, just after signing a five year contract with OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that he knew something up? Or he was running to hide? I dunnu. I also saw that he was on Huggins' staff at K-State when they landed two big time recruits.

However, with a Grand Jury sniffing around a place I surprisingly left having met with success, after only one year... it certainly should be of some concern.

FW_Hoosier Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I remember hearing that Underwood left OSU because Illinois offered a lot more money. I also would’ve left without a second thought for that much money, not to mention the fact that Illinois is a much better job. https://pistolsfiringblog.com/illinois-tripled-brad-underwoods-salary-paid-3-million-buyout/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
