    Coffee Maker

    So coffee is my passion. It all depends on what you drink. If you just need the caffeine boost and don’t care about a decent cup of coffee, a drip is the way to go. in all seriousness, there are a few decent drips on the market. I haven’t had much success with them in comparison to other...

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Se Semantics. He could've committed to Illinois still essentially, but he was told not to.

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Agree completely. Xavier was recruiting Ayo, but began focusing solely on THT when they saw that Ayo was going to Illinois. While I commend that our staff actually looks like they have what it takes to pull their top targets just made tainted THT's night. He was going to ISU prior to the...

    RECRUITING: THT commits

    Hey, guys. Congrats on the pickup! I'm definitely going to have to watch you guys play (and beat) Iowa now. Really wanted this guy, and I'm disappointed with what transpired. If all accounts are accurate, it's a shame what Illinois put him through, and it's frankly embarrassing. I'm glad that...

    Talen Horton-Tucker cuts list to 3 (ISU is on it)

    Possible announcement date change to lend further credibility. He knew who he wanted, and now he doesn't know.

    Because the source has direct contact with THT. It's why we're adamant that people claiming it was a ploy are incorrect.

    You're just wrong, and you don't know better. It was the same information from multiple independent sources. Illinois had the same info as Xavier and Iowa State. Brian Snow, Jerry Meyer, Eric Bossi, etc all were saying the exact same thing.

    Yeah, Illinois is now officially out. I really like THT. This sucks for our fanbase and THT, and it really taints the perception of Ayo. I hope you guys get him. I'm pretty pissed off at what has transpired.

    Haven't had time to read all the replies, but Illinois' hand was forced on this one. It is now officially up in the air.

    I'm just saying that I know that's not true. I don't think one of your paid sites is in agreement with that consensus either.

    He's spoken to people that I know for a fact have spoken directly to THT. Not sure if he's had any direct contact recently.

    Honestly, guys, I know THT is too young to have seen what the Illinois program looked like in its prime, so I don't know what the draw is. There is open playing time at his position and two examples of players that did really well at the position under BU. I do know he's spoken to past Illinois...

    I'm confident that's not without reason.

    It may be only to me and the other Illinois fan. To be fair, we buttered you up with our eye-to-eye hatred of Iowa. As for the THT recruitment, I'm aware that THT's camp and Ayo's camp have contacted each other to smooth things out recently.

    The worst one I've seen is Wake Forest's OGBoards. They're funny, but the intelligence is low. Didn't help some of Illinois' posters were dbags on their board. Illinois' free board is not the best despite being heavily moderated and high traffic.

    I've seen my fair share of free boards, and you guys might be the most level-headed and welcoming that I've seen. I'm impressed.

    Underwood didn't know because no one knew about the FBI. Illinois tripled his income when the Ok St AD lowballed him.

    I'm sure there are, and I'm not commenting on their validity by saying we are hearing good things. I just was sharing because I saw a post saying it was completely quiet. Cheers!

    Hey, guys. Coming in piece. I'm disappointed you guys got Griffin and Conditt, and think you're going to have a solid team now and in the future. I'm not here to spam your board with pro-Illini stuff or dis ISU (I will take share in some of that Iowa hate though). I just want to say that the...
