Might be Bosh, might not be anybody.
Perhaps a Rose/Joe Johnson/LeBron/Noah group doesn't need that monster inside guy, but it's a big risk
If you get LeBron and Bosh then no worries.

from what ive heard
WWW is behind ALOT and has quite a bit of influence on most if not all of the FAs
and one thing interesting i didnt know was that he was friends with MJ and that helped him get into the basketball business

I love to hate WWW. He was extremely influential in luring Rose away from Illinois back in the day. But if he delivers us Bron, Bosh, STAT, Wade Johnson or any combination of the 3, all will be forgiven.

or maybe he realized BAM sucks
Certainly not as a coach. And as a recruiter, um have you seen his classes recently?
If Rose had his choice, he would've been in an Illini uniform. His brother and WWW had a lot to do with him attending Memphis.

he isnt that good
his classes have been good but i dont like to measure coaches by their overall coaching AND recruiting
if i did calipari would a top 5 coach
see my point
its not who you get its what you do with them
however,i do think that a good coach must be able to get good kids
especially in THEIR OWN FREAKING STATE

I agree that losing out on Lebron isn't the worst thing that could happen. I don't feel we need Lebron to compete for a championship in the near future. I'm not worrying about Lebron, I'm more worried about striking out on the top talent available. I can dismiss the rumors, but as a fan I can't help that creeping anxiety when I hear rumors about what's going to happen.
By the way, great post, benn

Grandpa Kobe? Nah, he's probably with Brett Favre, his great-grandfather, as Favre reads him bedtime stories, and the following morning--Kobe reads his great, great, great grandkids stories of how he served in the Revolutionary War.

Which is what he's doing. His 2009, 2010 and 2011 classes are fucking awesome.
Btw, Bruce is known as one of the best X's and O's coaches out there. The man knows his stuff. When Bruce had talent, he went 37-2 (or whatever their record was). The question wasn't if he could coach, it was if he could recruit talent. Illinois basketball will see a large turn around with the amount of talent we currently have on the team.
Sorry for getting this thread off track. Back to your regularly scheduled programming. :bulls:

We will at least get Johnson. He may not be a home run, but he's certainly a major upgrade over Hinrich and improves the team. I personally think he was hurt with the isolation offense Woodson ran in Atlanta. Move him off the ball, into the post, in pick and rolls and I think you see a different player. His game is not 1 v 1. My only concern is his age and how much high level basketball he has left in the tank.
