It's quite the pickle, no doubt. It seems like we might be further along with weber than we were with wooly, however the "look what illinois is doing this year, just give him time" will be a currie/oscar talking point.
Illinois this year should be the opposite of a oscar/Currie talking point.
No, they are going to spin it as "see, oscar can recruit and get good kids, Illinois just didn't give him enough time."
it's not accurate and doesn't reflect or explain the previous 4/5 years of his stay at Illinois, but that doesn't matter.
well that is a weird way to spin things.
It's all they will have, and the mindless, Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!), mouth breathing tucks will accept it. the tucks already are.
oscar is going to blame everything on offense because he knows he can't blame it on defense - because defense/toughness has been the brand here for 5 years. And that "offense" is going to "take time" and need the "right players" - tucks will accept that because it underpins most of their "Hoosiers" beliefs in how basketball is supposed to be played. Short shorts, "smart" hard working white kids (maybe throw in a token black guy, ya know one of the 'good ones'), and a coach'em up coach.
