Committing today. Headed to MSU
Maybe that Hoosier Hysterics interview resonated with him and felt that Illinois does in fact suck lol.

Think I saw somewhere that suggested Ole Miss was likely going to recruit Caleb Williams hard. Might help with our chances with Ward since he seemed high on Ole Miss.

Hopefully he doesn’t watch any of our games...🙄
Ironically, sometimes a recruit observing what a team is lacking/the massive role they can play can help. Worked with Langford and Lander.

One game …. yes, but there aren’t many winnable Big10 road games. This was one that we should win, so you can’t piss them away. We’ve now pissed two Big10 road games away. Sure, it’s just one game (actually two now), but one game we’re likely going to be talking about at the end of the season when we fall just short of making the tourney again. Every SINGLE game counts. As far as importance, no kidding, for most of us it doesn’t rate high, but importance and caring are two separate things. Are the high important things in your life the only things you care about?
Exactly! Sure plenty of basketball but we’ve watched them be a bubble team the last 3-4 years because of some head scratching loses that come back to haunt us like this.
This is a REALLY bad loss. We werent even receiving votes in the AP Poll and losing to the worst team in the conference is only making the NIT seem more likely at this rate. It was barely a road game, they had like maybe 500 fans there.

I mentioned this in the Notre Dame post game thread but I’ve found the consistent theme with why we lose is centered around guys not fulfilling their role and the staff not doing enough to gameplan around our players strengths/weaknesses.
Why are guys like X and Rob shooting 9 times a game and the best 3 point shooter in the CONFERENCE gets up a total of max 4 shots?! Stewart is not a good defender, so if you aren’t getting him touches why is he on the floor…Penn state had no issue understanding that getting your best scorers touches on offense typically lends itself to positive outcomes.
I would never want a coach to do this but sometimes I want them to tell certain players, “if we are up or down by 2 possessions or less, you haven’t earned it to just let if fly.” Prime example, down by 7 points and JG decides to try an uncontested 3…like who is giving him the idea that that’s an acceptable decision??
Its decisions like that that derail our offense and prevents us from getting into a rhythm.

I know that was an easy game but happy to see we played well as a result of everyone knowing their roles and going out there and playing within themselves.
still hoping to see a bit more out of our bench, especially from Durr and JG.
Happy to see Rob string together a couple of solid games and get his confidence up. Hopefully he can continue to build off this.

I’d be happy if he came too. Frankly, we need a QB who is comfortable running. OL is the clear weak link so having someone who can extend plays and make the defense worry about big runs when they apply pressure is crucial.

Still staying optimistic on the QB front. Should know a lot more about what’s available once bowl games finish up and coaches have their final meetings with players and everyone knows where they stand on the depth chart.
IMO pretty easy pitch to a recruit that we’re looking for an immediate impact QB and all the offensive pieces to compete in arguably the deepest division in all of college football

Know your personnel and the game becomes a lot easier

This is actual insanity, you have Kopp and PStew on the floor as shooters and TJD and Race who have clear advantages in the post but we’re just gonna watch X settle for long range shots he’s not capable of making…

Take X out, guy is gonna derail any momentum with his selfish play. Refuses to accept his role on this team today.

If this team can cut hard and make solid passes, the team would be undefeated. There is something about the processing in a player making decision offense with their passing.
It’s like no one ever taught some of these guys that the ball moves faster than the man. You’re not gonna put any pressure on defense dribbling around aimlessly.

Boilermakers watching this game are drooling.
In their defense, they drool all the time anyway LOL

What a crazy concept that getting your best shooter his shots works. Almost like your starting PG should know that…

JHS and Cupps can’t come in quick enough. The basketball IQ of some of these guys is concerning to say the least

As much as I appreciate Woody giving these kids confidence/the green light to shoot, guys need to know on the floor who the shooters are/aren’t. Rob and X shooting 3s is a death sentence

This team won’t make the tournament if guys don’t buy into what their role is. Might as well give Notre Dame the win if X is shooting contested 3’s early in the shot clock and getting no one involved/running a play.

Hoping to see better shot selection this game. Felt like guys were settling for long range shots instead of driving to the rim for an easy bucket/drawing a foul (ex- TJD, Race, Geronimo).

Saw Kopp in a video w/the Hoosier hysteric guys yesterday and he was tweeting this afternoon so I guess nothing to see here lol.

Still think we could benefit from another dual threat QB. Just don’t see him getting enough time in the pocket to show all his skills.
Hopefully our depth at RB and upgrading to more speedy receivers will help offset our weak OL.
