The negativity on here is giving me a headache. Pardon me if I choose not to join your party.

Axe 'em, Jacks!

Im with you man...all these people who say they know what is going on in the locker room don't know what is going on in the locker room. If there was that much dissention why is Kevon trying to sell the program to people on twitter or JUCO guards transferring in or perhaps our the most talented recruit in the last few years in Hart bothering to show up.

We had a bad year and certain athletes were either injured, bad dudes and left or just not a good fit for what the offense broke down into because we had not enough capable guards to run the show.

Holyfield is leaving...so what....good for him and if there is a P5 opportunity out there he should take it as he has a degree in hand and wants to find a new landing spot that will allow him better exposure. Also just because he posted doesn't mean he leaves. If a situation of his liking is not available then perhaps he stays. Either way best to him.

Its ok to be angry and feel let down but its one year and get over it! If it happens again next year in optimum conditions then go off on Keller but for now shut up.

IMHO, the sign of a great program isn't that we never falter, it's how quickly we recover.

I'm not trying to beat uber negative, I'm trying to be a realist.

We had a bad year last year and in the weeks since the season was over the roster has only gotten worse.

That's not negativity, that's reality.

Well we have to count on the new recruits and transfers this coming season cause that's where we are at...short on returning starters and holes to fill. Only time will tell if these guys pan out plus we still have 3 or so more slots to fill. I'd rather go into the off season believing that these new guys will step in and step up than assigning us to 9th place because 2018/19 sucked.
Oh, and don't read Nacluths post that says we are 3 years away from our next peak period...I don't think that will encourage you any.

You're assuming I think he's wrong. I think our next peak is much closer to his prediction than next year.

Not to get all nitpicky, because TJ's free to do what he wants, & NCAA rules to the contrary, should be able to freely transfer like any of us could do as non student athletes when we were in school. But you're not allowed to recruit current players until they enter the transfer portal... right?

---

Right. But it happens all the time. Literally all the time. Especially if the kid has a good past relationship with the other coach. I would say it's safe to say any good mid-major player has been contacted by a different school. I know it's hapoened to us before. Look at how many really good freshman transfer these days, it's not all a coincidence.

I don't care for what Brad has done, but I get it. Very easy for them to stay in contact.

I guess I'm one of those fly by nighters or seagulls as you guys like to say just dropping in bringing in negativity or crapping on your posts/moods or whatever. I've been around since the Delphi boards but haven't posted much on here but definitely read everyday.

If you see something in Keller then good for you.

I honestly did not see one positive this season and I don't think it's going to get any better next season.

I get injuries are a part of the game but Keller made no adjustments throughout the season. He stuck our best player (Shannon) at position that forced him to play a lot of hero ball.

There was no movement on the offense and same with the defense. This was probably the worst defensive team we've had in years. So many opened 3's and layups. It's like the entire league figured Keller out.

No consistency with the lineup and rotation either. Just throw something at the wall and hope it works. Cole has a great game and provides a spark then plays 17 minutes combined the next three games.

We were supposed to have this great recruitment class with Jock, Walker, and everyone else. Jock barely sniffed the floor before he was injured. People said he was a defensive liability but hell our entire team was a defensive liability. Walker barely got a chance until the end of the season. Mitch was the only one that got significant playing time and that's probably because TJ was out.

The team chemistry wasn't there either this year and that's honestly probably what carried the team last year along with the leadership of Ty, Leon, and TJ.

The roster is a mess right now with players getting kicked off/leaving during the year (not sure the true story), not knowing who is returning/who is going to transfer, and what the new guys are going to bring.

I'll be cheering for the team next year no matter what and I'll be the first to come back and say I was wrong if Keller turns it around but from what I saw this season I think we are in for a long ride again.

So Isaac's apparently saying Illinois is a done deal. Bold reporting for someone who doesn't report anymore.
