prebilliken Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Illini have reached out to Brad Stevens... http://chicago.sbnation.com/illinois-fighting-illini/2012/3/8/2855350/bruce-weber-at-illinois?tw_p=twt This would hurt the program. Obviously... Reporters for ABC Springfield saying the offer is 21 million over 8 years... $2.63 mill a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebilliken Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 http://twitter.com/#!/HerbGould/status/183281782173609984 Herb Gould says only firm news is that he has been contracted... I should stop freaking out but I know this board likes to be in the know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 He isn't going to coach the Illini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prebilliken Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 He isn't going to coach the Illini. Like I said I am a reactionary on this stuff. Like a teenage girl over Bieber news... Minus kick starting pubirty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU21 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Would be a huge get for the Illini, but i have a feeling he will hold out. Didn't he turn down offers last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Metzinger Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Former Illinois Prep (Glenbrook North) standout and current Duke assistant Chris Collins has reached out to Illinois AD Mike Thomas, according to sources familiar with the situation. Although you wonder if bosom buddy Wojo is part of the package? Bros China Grove Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Not sure how much stock you want to put in this.. could be a huge buzzkill for Butler's move to A10 - http://hammerandnigel.com/general/breaking-brad-stevens-to-illinois/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirahna Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think the only job Stevens will take is the Dook position when Coach K finally hangs em up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yea.. allow me to squelch my own link with another http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/7729557/butler-bulldogs-coach-brad-stevens-says-had-no-contact-illinois-fighting-illini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Heck, I hope he runs to ILLINOIS. It opens up Nolan Berry's recruitment again. Of course I've been told on here that even if that happens NB ain't coming to SLU. Must have heard those horror stories about RM being a little hard on his players.

Bizziken Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think the only job Stevens will take is the Dook position when Coach K finally hangs em up I think he might take the UCLA job if Howland gets fired... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Ken Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 No way he goes to IL, he will wait until Indiana opens up again. He's stated that is his dream job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
