johnbj14 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The responses already from U of I fans are incredible. If Goodwin commits to SLU there might be a meltdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Saw on Twitter that Cusumano is going to go on the radio in Chambana later this afternoon. This could go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 To those being apprehensive because "it's coming from Frank" - don't worry, Frank is late to the party on this rumor. Don't let the Frank Cusumano Outside Scoop taint bring you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JettFlight5 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I really like the "SLU has nothing coming in argument". Bess, Henriquez, and Foreman are a bit better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bess, Henriquez, and Foreman are a bit better than that. People always forget transfers. That's one way Verbal Commits has made things easy, by just laying out the current and future classes. Imperfect and incomplete, but helpful. These dudes writing articles should know to check by now, especially given that with 700ish transfers a year, there are always redshirts waiting in the wings.

I love the one response to Frank about Groce not hiring AAU coaches. The guy is completely oblivious to the fact that their is a former AAU coach on Groce's Illini staff. Paris Parham coached in the Chicago AAU ranks which are on a completely different level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills_06 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Is he planning on announcing before his birthday now? Has anybody heard that? Not sure what the "soon" line meant in Frank's tweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbj14 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 https://twitter.com/prepbullseye/status/763835237084176384 Roy saying sources are biased regarding Goodwin when most of his stuff has an Illini slant to it. Hmm. Edit: The text since I can't figure out how to embed on mobile. "At the present time, why should I believe the Jordan Goodwin talk is anything other than hearsay? MORE IN A MOMENT..."

JMM28 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Roy doesn't know what things mean. His job is 100% hearsay. He also had a follow up tweet that said something about a show called "Hey I'm gay!" ?! Not sure I follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLURadioBoy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Take this for what it's worth, but Frank just said on a Illinois radio station that he thinks Goodwin could verbal as early as tomorrow or Monday. That's surprising since Goodwin said he wouldn't commit until October 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't but would be curious to hear what he said too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLURadioBoy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I caught part of it. He said that Illinois has been worried about this for a while. Goodwin hasn't been in contact with them for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills_06 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Pelican has been saying that Ford has done a 180 on local recruiting and we should see some notable guys committing soon.

Franchise_08 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Illini board does point out once Ford gets a few good recruiting classes here, he will bolt...maybe. Would be nice to steal Tillman from them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 It would have to be some that wants to play with Goodwin. That is why it was imperative to get Goodwin on board now and not have him wait to announce it on his birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Looks like it is starting to become a reality for the Illini folks, no longer arguing that the rumors can't be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
