universal praise for the BU hire by Illinois, but landing Marshall or Bennett (the only two JW had above BU), means he wasn't aiming high with BU?
Not sure that's a fair assessment.
"CBS Sports analyst Seth Davis was asked, the best coaching hire this off-season: Without a doubt not even close Brad Underwood @ IL"
"Josh Whitman is my hero. Illinois AD crushed it with the search and didn't throw away $75K of school's money on... " Jeff Goodman
"Illinois! What a steal!" Steward Mandel
"I stumped for Brad Underwood last year. His SFA teams dominated on both ends. Phenomenal basketball mind. Excellent tactician. Good hire." Brad Evans
"@YahooNoise those who complain about this hire aren't worth listening to because they don't know anything about basketball." Scott VanPelt
"Underwood to Illini will be very appealing to Chicago city talent. Come to Illinois, we will play fast and allow you to score. A LOT." Jordan Cornette
I've heard from several college coaches & insiders about Brad Underwood. Every single 1 said "great hire for Illinois!" Ryan Baker
One Big 12 staffer on #illini coach Brad Underwood:
"I think he could be a Bill Self Version 2.0" Jeremy Werner
"Give Josh Whitman credit. I LOVE the Brad Underwood hire. He recruits his tail off, he can coach + he's a great guy." Dave Kaplan
"GREAT HIRE!! RT @GoodmanESPN: Illinois has hired Oklahoma State’s Brad Underwood, sources told ESPN." Mac Irvin Fire
"Have to hand it to #Illini AD Josh Whitman. That clandestine hire is a terrific one -- terrific coach, fun style, brings a presence." Joe Henricksen
"A coach here in Salt Lake City just emphatically told me that Brad Underwood is a GREAT hire." Ryan Baker
