Agreed . I know it was rumored the BIG12 was looking at Houston .
And to think , these ignant posting dudes on here were calling for the dismantling of the BIG12 a few years ago ... thecoli, y’all
well there is some internal strife with Texas in the big 12 but the conference ain’t going no where, but the pac12 may dissolve
Would be a strong addition , imo.
the issue is everyone in the big 12 knows if Houston does, in 3-4 years it’s over H-town would clean up recruiting, imagine being a texas/Oklahoma kid and your choice of all them texas destinations, I’m going to Houston
you can say it's wrong if you want. If you don't believe it plays a factor, I don't know what to tell you. It's why NYC has seen it's top kids leave the city for prep school instead of staying home.
the biggest issue for Chicago/Illinois schools they don’t recruit the city hard, it’s no reason the Illini shouldn’t consistently put out 5 studs every year, they drop the ball period
If DePaul throw the bag at him I think he would make the jump people outside of Chicago don’t understand how popular DePaul basketball team is in Chicago
idk fam i grew up in Chicago born in 83, the city semi embraced DePaul but it wasn’t like kids grew up saying yeah i want to go to DePaul, at least no one round my way, most folks wanted to be at Duke unc uk Cincinnati (bob huggins years) Indiana, like i said above if they recruited the city harder more kids would end up at Illinois
