    as bad as weber is...when i watch that team(and ive seen plenty of them..not just today) i see on guy who is a player...leonard is a legit nba prospect and a potential lottery guy.....but the other guys they lean on are just dogs....brandon paul and dj richardson....these guys are just dogs..not good shooters....just so inconsistent....paul had that explosion of a night against ohio st....but those guys are just not good, smart, basketball players

    I have a bunch of friends from Illinois and they all hate Weber. Seems like the entire state wants him out. They were really happy when Zook got the door as well.

    The only argument to keep Bruce is that Illinois players are dumb? He recruited him. Still deserves to go!

    No, but it seems like a certainty. It is expensive, but it will still happen.

    The beat writer for the Illini has pretty much written that he'd be absolutely shocked if Weber is here next year.

    My top 5 is:

    Shaka Smart
    Brad Stevens
    Sean Miller
    Robert Smith (Simeon coach)
    Lorenzo Romar

    Robert Smith is a high school coach, but he'll be able to get Jabari Parker to Illinois for sure, and once that domino falls, a ton of other dominos will fall and want to play with him. Could put Illinois back in the top 10 in an instant.

    simeon coach...you fuckin kidding me...never will happpen in 1000000000000000x years

    shaka is overrated too, sean miller has done nothing in zona, brad stevens is solid and gets smart white kids thats a major plus as team is all dumb ***** as i mentioned above....romar is blah with washington never lives up after getting hyped/no hyped...middle tier coach....

    best guy for the job is mike cronin from cincy (and i've been syaing that name BEFORE the W over da cuse)...he's SOLID and runs a tight shift which is what we need in champaign as they run wild

    #1 cronin, total package O and D
    #2 stevens
    #3 leonard hamilton from FSU, preaches D which is what boring awful big 10 bball is about....

    Sean Miller has done nothing? Look at Arizona's recruiting class coming in... they are going to run train on the Pac-12 for years...

    I was actually just kidding about Sean Miller, Illinois has a better chance going have Phil Jackson.

    However, if Illinois was really smart, they'd snag Romar. The guy has a huge pull with inner city kids, especially in Chicago. He is currently in good shape with the number 1 player in 2013, Jabari Parker who is out of Chi-Town. Also, he basically has the best player in 2013 in the bag named Aaron Gordon. If he can bring both those kids to Illinois, you guys have gotten significantly better.

    Romar isn't a great coach, but he is a very good recruiter, and would be even better back in the Mid-West. (guy has strong ties due to his time spent at St. Louis).

    Romar is your guy - Smart isn't the next coming, he is going to be overpaid wherever he goes... If your an Illini fan, you are better off not having to pay off the guys payout + years left on the contract, just to get him to leave.

    Wow, didn't even see Frozen man's post.

    Sean Miller accomplishments:

    Took Xavier deep into the tournament many times.

    Took a fukked up Arizona program, and brought them from the brink of death to an Elite 8 and a second pick overall in 2 years. 2 out of 3 years, he landed top 5 recruiting classes (which is ridiculous, because he didn't have half the time as every other coach to develop relationships with this High School phenoms). Currently (going into his 4th year) he has the number 1 recruiting class, which includes 3 top 10 Bigs according to ESPN (a feat that has never been done), has the best pure shooter in the class to compliment the big men players, and is currently going to add at least one more player.

    He is on the brink of bringing an Arizona team, who had their best player shot before the season started, and then broke his leg right in the middle of the season, into an Automatic bid.

    He is doing it with a 6'6 kid playing Center.

    Sean Miller is the best young coach in the business, and it really isn't close. As an Arizona fan, there is not a single coach on the planet I would trade him for.

    And, FWIW, Illinois would be a giant step backwards for Sean. The AD at Illinois would crawl through a mile of JJ's shit to sniff the possibility of Sean going to Illinois.

    Your best bet is Romar, but more than likely - you are going to get stuck with someone that isn't worth the money you are about to throw at him.

    I'll take Robert smith. Getting Parker would be huge, and he has a relationship with most of the inner city kids obviously. Wouldn't have to overpay him either.

    We have to keep jabari parker here.

    The problem I have with Romar is that he isn't a good coach, and that is important, especially in the Big 10.

    Hell, I don't eve want to think about what Izzo, Painter, Bo Ryan will do to him over the years if he does come to Illinois. He'll recruit well but if shitty Pac-12 coaches can exploit his lack of coaching, imagine what really good Big 10 coaches will do to him?
