OT: Kieger to Illinois??

Mike Flynn‏ @MikeFlynn826 9m9 minutes ago

Rumor mill spins for @IlliniWBB with Carolyn Kieger on it. If so, who slides into @MarquetteWBB? @wbballhoopscoop @womhoopsguru @wparker

Saw this. Seems really silly. 4 sophs returning and, oh ya, she is an MU alum.

Unless it's money.......

Ugh - that would suck.

Their AD has proven to be real good, so I would not dismiss this. Hopefully we can pay her what she's worth and keep her building a strong foundation here.

The AD who signed John Groce and Lovie Smith? Why is the women's job open also? Hope she doesn't leave for that. There are much better programs to leave for. And certainly should be a much higher standard to leave if you arer an alum of MU. Illinois sucks all around.

Not the same AD who hired Groce. He's only been there for about a year and he did hire Lovie Smith.

What "warriorfan4life" is referring to is his hiring of Brad Underwood away from Oklahoma State with little to no noise. A very aggressive and out of character move for the University.
