Message: [QUOTE="Jasoncuse, post: 2579638, member: 470"] If Golden goes to Illinois, it shouldn’t be a shock basketball-wise. Underwood was well thought of when they hired him last year. They play pretty up tempo and should continue improving offensively. Oklahoma State was #1 in adjusted O in his year there and Stephen Austin was a very good offensive team in his time there prior. Maybe Golden also isn’t sure of his fit in the zone. He’s not our usual super long, rangy or athletic forward, and at 6’7” or so, may not be ideal. If he wants to play not up tempo and in a defense that may be a better fit, we shouldn’t end up shocked if he goes to Illinois. Plus, he chose Pitt originally so it’s not like he minds going to a program that hasn’t been successful lately. [/QUOTE]
