Danny Hurley on recruiting intangibles “It’s the winning s***. Bringing the 19th ranked player who is delusional, selfish, has crazy parents and grassroots coaches that are ticking down the days until he enters the draft.. Trying to avoid bringing in people like that.”

@WCIA3Bret @JWerner247 @DPiper247 @WCIA3Andy @courtneylaynebr I joined twice. I’ll just thank myself. (Record low viewership those times)
A big thank you to @JWerner247 and @DPiper247 for joining us and making the pregame shows so informative and fun. We tried our best to do both @WCIA3Andy and @courtneylaynebr are huge parts of the success of these streams as well, it truly takes a team effort to pull it off
A big thank you to everyone who watched our digital channels this past Illinois football and basketball seasons After adding it all up, incredibly proud to announce we had more than a MILLION views on our Copper Creek Contractors Your #Illini Nation Pregame and Postgame streams!
Life rly comes full circle. 19yrs here and Happy.
If my life wasn’t so heavily instigated I wouldn’t have had to make a “I’m back” post, so those of you who are like “why this post” are the same ones who telling the world I’m leaving. Nah I’m stuck here like white on rice baby, and I’m serving 5 star meals to all the purdue fans
Also thanks to my seniors, I would’ve never gotten through these tough steeps of this season without y’all. I wouldn’t want to be guided by anyone else.🤞🏽 All of that being, hopefully this lightens the mood a little bit #ILL4L
Onward and upward!!! No need for a graphic - Illini nation - staff - players - MUCH LOVE AND SUCCESS - we did great things!! Thank you!!! Time to hang more banners cut more nets and wear more rings!!! Leave a place better than you found it.. work starts now WVU!! Always GO ILLINI
An incredibly special night with Coach Underwood and 1,700 #Illini fans and supporters of the fight against cancer. For those who are new here, I was diagnosed with cancer nine years ago this summer. To be recognized as a survivor tonight goes beyond words. Grateful, heart full
