    Iowa Basketball's Super Bowl

    ISU is in BIG, BIG trouble. Iowa is a final four caliber team this year. Don't believe me, just check out their message boards. All American Garza NBAer Weiskamp Legend Bohannon Phenom CJ Fredrick Super jet Toussaint Abandon all hope.

    One last thing and then I'll go away for good. Promise. If this thing went down the way I'm hearing from fairly reliable sources, Underwood deserves THT to ISU and Ayo decomitting and signing with Wake. I am sickened by the whole fiasco. I was excited by this hire last spring. Now?.... ugh...

    Hahaha. And alumnus Gene Hackman tried to murder Superman. Even with all the CB tomfoolery, I still think it's ISU. We'll know soon enough.

    Fair point but I don't think a recruit would necessarily have to use the exact model in order to give it predictive value. He would only have to be evaluating roughly the same information and interpreting "utility" in roughly the same way. It has a greater than 75% predictive success rate...

    https://www.pasrforecast.com/ As of yesterday this model (PASR Predictive Analytics for Successful Recruiting) still gives a slight edge to ISU. THT is #115. No insider rumors, CB nonsense etc., just a model based on utility maximization theory -- i.e., it predicts which school will provide...

    LOL. Bobby Simmons, Derek Rose, Jabari Parker et. al. had no problem at all with it. Illinois kids announce from their high school against Illinois all the time. Heck,Cliff Alexander straight up pranked Illinois with the “hat trick” straight from Curie high school. If you could feel my pain...

    Programs don’t “deserve” anything. Ever. They compete and get what they earn. Period. Prohm is doing a great job and has definitely earned his latest recruiting class. The brother analogy breaks down from the start, imo. These aren’t “brother” programs. They’re in different conferences and...

    I have no special inside information, I just follow Illinois recruiting fairly closely. As I said yesterday, I will be very surprised — shocked even — if THT chooses Illinois. Even before Ayo committed he had essentially zero interest in Illinois. With Ayo? There’s just no way it happens...

    Illinois is 13-6 against Iowa over the worst 10 year span in our program's history (including the last three in a row). We don't have to rebuild to beat Iowa. Though to look at their message board, they are going to compete with MSU this year for the B1G championship. Hahaha Please beat...

    Just a different perspective from a "desperate" Illinois fan... This kid would be a great pick up but for the majority of his recruitment, he really has not given Illinois the time of day. It is well known that he does not want to play with Ayo Dosunmu who just committed to Illinois last week...
