Illinois missed out on George Conduit (their backup option to Castleton). They have to do some type of decision regarding that staff, no? ILL fans are going nuts. Very well could lose Horton-Tucker to ISU too.

Isnât this a completely new staff, top to bottom?
I think heâs referring to Underwoodâs link to Lamar Evans.
I guess thatâs how long itâll take to make an announcement video picking Michigan 
Evans was accused of taking bribes to steer their potential NBA players to a financial adviser. If thatâs all he did, it wouldnât involve Underwood in NCAA violations.
Not saying that Underwood is necessarily in trouble, but the cloud is going to follow him for a while until the Evansâs trial is over. Evans and Underwood had a long history together all the way back to Kansas State and South Carolina. From 2008-2013, both were in Frank Martinâs staff. I assume that they are very close.
These are mostly the same as the ones posted the other day (which appear to have been taken down), but some footage from adidas events in July.
How confident are you that he will pick the good guys, compared to your confidence in Nunezâs decision?
Not Dylan, but Iâm confident that he HAS picked Michigan and itâs just a matter of announcing it.

I think his response to me about Nunez would also apply hereâŚ
I think if people are willing to read into Dylanâs willingness to post scouting video and in Colinâs case repost it/post more around the visit, we can get a sense of what Dylanâs confidence is between Nunez AND Castleton.

Iâd put the odds a 1-9 or so that he picks UM. The only factor in Illinoisâ favor is roster, which sucks. I get the sense that Beilein-CC was love at first sight. In addition, Underwood is pretty much unproven at this level. He inherited stacked rosters at SFA (3 yrs) and OK St (1yr) and hasnât proven s* recruiting-wise in the B1G. Who are you going to play with CC?
He did coach that bearded guy though.
I agree with you, it could make recruiting harder, but I donât think that will be relevant to recruits like Castleton who have Illinois in their final group. Heâs invested enough into choosing Illinois that he shouldnât be scared off by the little thatâs out there.
I do wonder why Evans didnât follow Underwood to Illinois.
Haha that bearded guy was excellent in the tourney a couple years ago
