He just landed the first Illinois Mr. Basketball since 2010 for the Illini. Is that not enough? Of course it isn't. You're ThaTruth. You'll move the goalposts further.
If Tilmon re-commits, you have to recuse yourself from ever discussing college basketball again on this board. It's a coin flip imo, because Cuonzo is a beast of a recruiter and he's got his claws in deep, but Underwood will sell his incredible PnR offense to Tilmon and work hard to get him to stay, especially now that he has next year's PG in place. So if Tilmon stays? Yeah, you're done talking college basketball here. For good.
Everyone already knows that you don't watch college basketball. That's a given that everyone on this board accepts. If Elon Musk could harness energy from the eye rolls that your college basketball analysis generates, he could provide power to the state of California. So if you were also *that* epically, painfully wrong on your home area coaching hire?... yeah, that'd be that. Even more than it already is.
And if that doesn't happen (like I said, coin flip), then when Underwood makes the NCAA Tournament by Year 2 with the Illini, you get to have an Underwood avatar for a year with the signature "I was wrong, I don't know college basketball." Tourney by Year 2 for a young team isn't even the arbiter of success for a new coach with a young team, but I just don't think Underwood will need a full four to get the Illini to the Dance.
And if, after three years, Underwood hasn't made the tournament, then I'll make my avatar for a full year the homoerotic Boston image (or some other homoerotic sports image you inevitably have saved on your desktop) and make my signature "ThaTruth's posts in OkaySports are both witty and insightful."
