Poor Bert. The Badgers were not cheating, Illinois lost, get over it.

We should realize by now that early 2025 commits mean nothing. They can change until the last minute. Kids aren't going to truly commit until last minute when they are basically being drafted to college or wherever or whatever better option they have. We also now know that the first place a kid goes to may not be the next place they go. In fact, there ain't going to be many multi-year players at one school anymore. Coaches need to develop relationships and pick them up whether they come initially or later....don't burn bridges.

Thanks Sonny. Always appreciate your podcasts.

Go Blue! Great site! Can’t get enough of listening to anything Big10! Just can’t listen to anything Buckeyes.

You dumbasses still going on about this? It time to move on

Cryyyyyy

Aww poor Bert 😅

Bielama is a trash coach enjoy him running your program farther into the ground

he lost two rose bowls and bolted toArkansas and Alvarez had to coach them in the 3rd Rose Bowl

What if? Every season is full of them for every team. Take responsibility and do better. What if Wisconsin was playing with their first-string quarterback? See you at Camp Randal in 2025.

The clapping on defense to interfere with the snap count was also pretty bush league.

Illinois should be better than Wisconsin.

Since he was wearing an appropriate number to be an eligible receiver 80% likelihood nothing changes. However, they did not inform the coaches of the change hence they broke the rules. This isn't the first time fockell has been involved in similar b.s. its mostly trivial.

Sunny, enjoy your daily content and insider info in all that is Illini. I tune in often and am a subscriber from just outside of Austin Tx. Keep up the good work. Go Illini!

If NFL rosters have 53, please explain why a college team would need to have 105!

Ok You Hypothetical Point Is Maybe, I’ve Been Really Watching The Illini Hoops Since Eddie Johnson And Mark Smith, I Am Not Expecting Or Predicting Anything Untill I See Them Play All Them Top Ten Teams , Then We Will Know, A Couple Thins I Feel I Do Know Is That Hans Bury Although Talented Is Not Morez Johnson, Also , I Feel Very Strongly That Humrichouse, Is Not Marcus Domask, Different Game, Completely, Ben Is Going To Thrive, Count On It, One More Thing, This Illini Team has A lot More Talent, Depth, And Size Than Last Years Squad, But As I Said, We Will See When Duke, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Are In The Books, Win Or Lose, I Want To See How All These Guys Perform, That To Me Is A Big Time Gauge

Illinois Needs To Show Up This Year, Gabe Needs To have His Best Season, He Has The Tools, I Hope He Puts together A more Than Solid Season, Luke Has Got To Be Better ,I Really Don’t Know If He Has What It Takes, I Hope He Does, But He Has A Great Group Of Receivers And Has Got To Get The Ball To them, Or Unfortunately I Feel It’s Time To Move from Him, I Really Feel That The Illini Are In For A Very Tough Year, They Really , To Me Didn’t Get A Whole Lot Of New Talent, Maybe I’m Wrong, I Am Really A Fan Of Brett Beliema, I Want It To Work, I’ve Been A Fan Of Illini Football Since The Mike White Days, I Loved Tony Eason, Jack Trudeau, Jeff George, Oliver Williams, David Williams, Mikel Leshore, Dana Howard, Simeon Rice , To Name A Few, Let’s Get A Few New Names In The Near Future To Remember… Go Illini… I’m Still Waiting For November, My Prediction For The Football Side Is 5-7

if i were given some sway...you would be banned from State Farm Centre...someone has to be the devil's advocate...right ??...well go hang out there and find out...What a stone-cold stupid topic

Enjoying your videos from Teton Valley in “Wydaho”. I see you’ve got Cole Kelly listed as both 2027 and 2028. Can I assume it’s 2027?

I watched the TV special on these kids, amazing story. They are not separating , but I see what Illinois is doing , long term strategy is sound.

Have fun. You do a great job on the show. No nonsense , just straight talk.

Ask Franklin when he's getting added to the NCAA 25 roster wtf.

Bro, you are going to media day. How sick is that. Have a great time!

For all his faults! Might want to rework that thought.

Thanks.

Thanks for the weekend special edition. Good show and you are “right on” with your Jeremiah Fears analysis. You “walk the line” carefully on this topic. Kudos. 👍

Thanks for the update Sunny. You are doing a great job, keeping us informed!

Enjoying your show from Oppressively HOT Gainesville, FL, Sunny. Keep doin your Thang, Brother!

This is just a thanks for doing what you do at such a high level. You are available; every day; you are informed, intelligent and you deliver your information professionally and with care. “Nuf said”! UDAMAN!

Got to say, you are real. Thanks for your time, insight, and candor! The fact we are in discussions with duke, Kentucky and Carolina blue is amazing! May not land these guys, but we are in the discussion, and yes, Cayden may not be his brother in some regard, but it's awesome to be in the discussion. Thanks for sharing the knowledge ..... Go Illini!!

Cayden Might Learn How To Slam Dunk

Bulls 5

He's A Future Chicago Bull Getting Number 5 In The Chicago Bulls Jersey

Wish all the best for fears, everyone needs to do what is right for them. Brad, Orlando and coaching team did an outstanding job, even if jj goes to Kentucky or elsewhere.

Im following from Champaign ILL

Sunny thanks for all your podcasts

Why can’t i send a super chat

Not sure why you feel the need to make an opinion that Illinois won't be pushed out. You lost me on that.

The NIL, Chicago market and alumni network will keep us in B1G. Plus research dollars.

Well, Brad Underwood can be excused because college basketball is a "win-now" game, unfortunately. Development doesn't matter because players aren't committed for 3 - 4 yrs

Great video Sunny. Luke does seem to be an underrated QB. If our defense is not a disaster, we should be able to get to a bowl game this year.

Holds on to the ball too long and locks in on one receiver judging from the spring game

Dark horse

IF he can speed up his release without losing his accuracy and judgement, he will be outstanding. If he doesn't, he will still be fine. This is based on my belief that the O-line is going to be improved overall. What if Josh McCray is 100% recovered? Then, we have three serious runningbacks, 1-3 servicable to great receivers, and a true starter QB with a possible #2 who is ready. The O-LINE should be freaking better. Defense is the question.

I'm "locked in" on Luke, but I am also intrigued with the QBs in the room with him!🧡💙

I’m sorry, but Tyler Underwood is who designed that offense last year.

Ivisic can’t “return” if he has never been here!

A lot to respond to .. I think you are great at what you do, and it’s why I watch you consistently, but today you are a little “lost in the weeds”. I mean this as a little bit as an opportunity to teach, here. You are over analyzing “Booty Ball”. It is semantics. It’s nothing more than a half court offensive weapon. It simplifies a half court offense that can be used during a game when it makes sense to, or versus a team that slows things down effectively and more of an emphasis can be put on half court versus a team that defends particularly well against fast break offenses. The run/gun style that this years team will primarily use with KJ and Kylan Boswell will be very effective against most teams we face. Sunny … KJ and Boswell will be making most of the decisions offensively with Will Riley, as well. You’re overly concerned about this, is all. Domask had the skills to utilize this type of attack, and you will see that Humrichous does so at even a “higher” level (better shot; bigger by three inches and weight) AND passing out of this “Booty Ball” as it’s called now can only happen if you are SMART, which Ben is. Relax. That the Illini has a player that “fills this bill” is more reason to get excited. We CAN attack half court defenses with this versus super designed plays; half court offense overhauls, etc. The one thing that I know you enjoy about Brad Underwood is his flexibility and simplicity. He can adjust and attack this years opponents by keeping things simple for his players so they can be free to just play and have fun at a highly effective level. He can now attack defenses in even more ways than last year. Trust me on this. I have a deep background in understanding basketball offenses having played, coached and observing for greater than 60 years now. Kudos to you and your show. It’s the best thing out there. Keep up the great work!

This is hilarious. As a Ws fan, I didn’t even know he has a beef with Illinois except that he didn’t get playing time and transferred. I guarantee Pod isn’t sweating his time at Illinois now. Bigger fish to fry.

From what many people who I respect for their basketball knowledge and analysis have said, Jasper is actually a slight upgrade in talent and skill level and size from Fears. Hope IL lands him.
