Today on the online inquire podcast, we got a special guest for you today.

It's Jeremy Warner, Joey Wagner, O'Line I Enquirer.

And Joey, today we got to talk with

Illinois men's basketball coach Brad Underwood. We usually get him about once a year, and we got

about 40 minutes with him while he's on vacation, by the way. So I think he was about to hit

the golf course or something like that in a warm climate. But great chat with him. We talked about the final four.

We talked about resetting this roster.

We talked about some bigger picture.

But Brad, one of my favorite coaches we've covered, Joey.

He graduated the media degree.

So he understands what we do.

And I think he enjoys communicating to the fan base.

So I think the fans are going to enjoy this one.

Yeah, it was really fun conversation to reflect a little bit. And it's kind of interesting.

Like in the month of June, we try to look forward and think about what the roster looks like,

how you're going to use, in this case, Stefan Box and Quentin Coleman and David Mirkovich.

And all of that is we touched on that,

and it's important, this team just went to a final four. And like, we know Brad's personal journey.

We know the journey of Brad's build at Illinois, which is just as important to what made that trip,

what it was. So I'm glad we reflected on that and to hear him talk about what that was,

because that was obviously for him something so meaningful.

For this fan base, you and I sat at that open practice.
