I like watching Illini football but I’m so big on basketball. Love watching your takes

I love the way Illini has been the last 5 years plus. Underwood deserves all the credit of putting Illini back on the map

I went and found the video of Brad Underwood teaching zone defense. I didn’t believe it. Had to see it for myself. Lol.

I think what they are doing is ahead of the curve. I believe the future will be two super conferences: the Big Ten and the SEC, which could end up leaving the NCAA. Illinois is positioning themselves in the top 15 Nationally in a stepping stone to the NBA. Currently there are less than five players on NBA rosters from Illinois. In two years that will double. Getting players to the next level is the key to recruiting. Illinois is looking good.

Versatility is the calling for this team. I just want to see what the offense looks like with the combo of booty ball, pick and roll, and improved shooting. I do think Morez, DGL, Ty, and Tre White carve out roles as defenders. I think Booth can be that, too, but his time seems to tied to how quickly he can make gains with Fletch before the season starts. Ultimately, I think Ben H is the X factor on offense being able to shoot and being able to be the pick and roll handler or roller. Morez and DGL are probably the X factors on D.

Leader supreme

Derek Harper was the first Illini player (I think) to ever dribble the ball between his legs in a game at old Assembly Hall... I was there... the crowd went wild.... Lou wan't particularly happy about it tho.... lol...

You've been killing it Mike!!!! Iive always wanted to listen to a Illini podcast with somenof the All time greats!!!! Please keep it up!!!! 👍👍👍❤❤❤

13:41 is the biggest news from neutrals

Carson Goda is the best football player I have ever seen/ played with. Kid is the truth.

I was there also !!! His shot was right on line to go in to beat Michigan State!!!!

Excellent content.& knowledge of the college game....on recruiting..👍🏼🧡💙🏈

I was also in the "hall" the night ej hit that winning shot to beat Michigan state. Thought the roof was coming off. Great for our program

I was there when Eddie shot that "shot." 😊

Love these old timers Great job once again. So proud of our alumni.

There is clearly a winner here. Again a black man exonerated after falsely being accused of something he didn’t do. Luckily for him we live in a different time than Jim Crow. He is victorious because he is still alive. Heard of Emmitt Till? He wasn’t so lucky. She should be the one doing the time he would have served if found guilty. He actions were nefarious. In this society black men are a target. Shame…

Good show but Kedric really needs a better mic. He sounds like he is in a closed box

You guys missed Malcolm hill is also on a summer league team

Kevin baby I love you but do something about your camera!! Mike your da man! Good job 👍

Great insights.

FAN TASTIC Report..👍🏼🧡💙🏈

Great report..thanks..🧡💙🏈

Good to hear Bardo comments/opinion!

Thank you from Moscow.

In the words of Denzel, Washington, he would say to that lawyer “my man”.

Just crazy laws

The accuser ain’t brave the accuser looking for money.

Wow, level up. Sort of a milestone.

I am glad his attorney was able to clear Shannon's good name. And Sutter is right: "Terrence's losses were quantifiable" from this poorly constructed case against him.

Awesome show. Lots of what ifs in Illinois history. Good times are back with Coach Underwood.

Disney Star Wars sucks Mike. Are you freaking serious "The Wokeacolyte" is not woke???

Add to your list of positives is these players are all young. Not 5th year players with only 1 year left. I-L-L!

Kedric, get a good mic. They're cheap.

Both Sports Illustrated, Parade Magazine and USA Today ranked Marcus Liberty the #1 High School Player in the country.

I absolutely love this roster! A coaches dream.. 10-11 players that can really play. Starters will be determined by the players every day in practice. ILL 🧡 💙

Wish there were more people like Bruce Douglas in this world

It's absurd that this case didn't get thrown out before it even went to trial given the obvious total lack of any compelling evidence during the trial. The DA and the judge obviously had a woke agenda. Either that or Terence's lawyer(s) didn't put up a good enough fight and make a good enough argument that this case was groundless in the preliminaries so they could get it thrown out..

Good job Mark

Right. Innocent till proven guilty is where it all began. Looking forward to the NBA. and Jersey being raised to the rafters.

Take some down time Mark.

Why did it take 6 games to get the injunction so Terrence could play? This was a no brainer to Illini fans. Josh and the school group needs help to formulate a policy if they are going to have one for such matters. The main concern of the policy may not be seen as appearance nor reputation. Each is far too shallow and even illusionary. People of character are brought into the program. They even get better through the training here. No policy is better than even a good one let alone an unfair practice that misses justice by 10 miles. Way to go Illini. Let’s get it right. Wily Nily. What a great phrase and good eye on the reality of it. Wily nily is horrible and potentially destructive as seen. It makes sense to sue wily nily folks just to tune them up. Very painful and costly to Terrence. Kansas let all of humanity down by being frivolous.

The Illini fans that I know well, did not think that the Terrance Shannon Jr we have come to know from interviews, stories, his dedication to his craft, and what a good teammate he has been, that this allegation was fishy and totally out of character. TSJ is a good person and I wish the best for him and his family. I am angry that the Kansas authorities did such a poor job in validating the accusations and I think the DA had an axe to grind, that effecting the decision/charging process. As an Illini fan of many years, I believe that this was the best year's performance that I have seen. Remarkable. Without question, I know Terrance deserved 1st team All American selection and should have been in the running for Player of the Year. I would love to see him go to the Bulls in the first round. Can you imagine TJ, Ayo, Coby, Caruso, and maybe Lonzo Ball pushing the ball upcourt? Thanks for the fine interview.

Great interview. Thank you!!

Great interview! So happy for TSJ and can’t wait to watch him in the NBA ❤ nice to see our judicial system get it right for once!!!

Excellent and informative interview.

Thank you, Mike, for conducting this interview, and thank you Mr. Sutter, for sharing your insight and in particular for representing Terrance Shannon ❤ 🧡 💙

Great interview, and so interested to hear Mr. Sutter’s perspectives. Terrence clearly had the right guy and team in place. And once again, blown away by Mike’s insightful questions, well done to you both and thank you for sharing

Very impressed with Mitch, was following him through all of this. Also, Cags did a really nice job with this interview, asked a bunch of really insightful questions where I was like, yeah what about that?!
