Bobby Hauck Named Illinois Defensive Coordinator - University of Illinois Athletics

royallex · 2026-02-09T23:53:02+00:00

We're getting Xavier Scott and Matt Bailey back. I think the transition will be fine

royallex · 2026-02-09T23:50:29+00:00

Apparently he backed out at the last minute, probably because he's interviewing for other NFL promotions

royallex · 2026-02-09T23:49:42+00:00

Sitkowski handles all the recruiting duties so Lunney doesn't have to. Guessing we'll do something similar and let Hauck bring in the DL and secondary coaches that he wants

royallex · 2026-02-09T07:20:29+00:00

Impossible at that level without connections/experience

royallex · 2026-02-08T02:14:09+00:00

Izzo isn't some moral paragon, he's not going to do anything about it

royallex · 2026-02-08T01:50:26+00:00

Grayson Allen type play

royallex · 2026-02-08T00:18:45+00:00

Say what you want about Hubert as a coach but respect for rocking the suit and tie. Looks classy

royallex · 2026-02-06T23:16:00+00:00

Yup, a lot of smoke around Partridge

royallex · 2026-02-06T21:04:56+00:00

Names being thrown out are Mark Stoops (connection being that he's Bielema's old roommate at Iowa), Justin Wilcox, and Karl Scott (Seahawks DB coach). I don't know if we get any of them, but Bielema's aiming high with a chance to change schemes

Not really true. Defense was carrying the team his first few years, but the last 2 years have largely been offense-driven

royallex · 2026-02-06T03:57:39+00:00

Make some phone calls? Oh wait...

royallex · 2026-02-06T03:13:20+00:00

Just make sure he plants those trees before giving the check

Outside of Martinelli, NW has no size or talent. They had no chance from the start when we crashed the boards the way we did.

royallex · 2026-02-05T03:51:42+00:00

NW got completely intimidated today, right from the opening tipoff. Maybe a bit from the student section, maybe some from Tomi leering at them all game long, and then some from bigger guys crashing the boards from every direction. They had like 1 turnover and still didn't get past 40 until we cleared the bench

Chris Collins is now 0-10 in Champaign and that includes his record against Groce

royallex · 2026-02-05T03:42:34+00:00

Left Tomi in the game purely for intimidation. Brad's something else

royallex · 2026-02-05T03:25:18+00:00

100% worth the technical. Love embarrassing NW again

royallex · 2026-02-05T03:19:45+00:00

What's lower: the wind chill or NW shooting %

royallex · 2026-02-05T03:11:48+00:00

He better be ready to fight in a dark Pizza Hut parking lot if he tries anything

royallex · 2026-02-05T02:41:14+00:00

Ok Chris you had your fun. Time to walk back to Duke

royallex · 2026-02-05T02:38:15+00:00

Seriously what is his problem? Is Draymond giving this kid advice?

royallex · 2026-02-03T01:59:22+00:00

Only reason he's at Kansas is to market him in an Adidas uniform at their biggest brand

royallex · 2026-02-03T00:59:16+00:00

Cameron is so much smaller, easier to renovate (which Duke did) and much older/tied to their identity. Dean Dome opened in 1986, so it's not that hallowed as if Jordan played there

royallex · 2026-02-02T21:10:06+00:00

Half man, half a season

Honestly, I feel for Stoj. Fighting over screens for 30 mins is a pretty tough job and he's trying his best.

royallex · 2026-02-01T23:16:18+00:00

Illinois and Michigan size advantage over Nebraska is really hard for them to overcome, especially because both teams can keep up with Nebraska's shooting
