Welcome aboard Ty!

Glad you chose to be a Redbird and help get us back to relevance and respect and ultimately the biggest challenge -- the Big Dance!

Extremely excited by this commitment and the direction that coach P is taking this program! Keep it coming!

Without dusting off Media Guides, I believe Coach Muller was the last 'Bird to go gate-to-wire starting every game of a four-year-career. I can see Ty filling that resume. EXTREMELY good get.
I thought Paris did too but regardless your point is a good one and I agree

Plus- if he can get to the tournament every year here- why go elsewhere!
$300k and a Porsche, if that’s your thing. Even coming from what sounds like a solid middle-class household I’d imagine money talks. As a parent I’d tell my kids to at least listen, if nothing else.

But I’ll happily cross that bridge once the Redbirds make it back to the NCAAs for the first time in a quarter-century.

I’d love for Pedon be another salmon swimming upstream like Coach Jake at UNI getting his players to stick around through graduation.

Ty Pence is a huge pick up, I couldn't be more excited. We/he is getting a lot of Illinois press from the commitment. The excitement from Redbird nation around his commitment is obvious to anyone paying attention. It all sends a good message to players across Illinois. This won't be the last high-rated in-state recruit for Pedon over his tenure. It's an exciting time to be a Redbird hoops fan!

Over. Pedon offers a FRESH outlook and don't think he doesn't have a plan/approach to stay in tune with his players to keep them
in place @ISU. I'm a believer that Pedon changes our Paradigm on how we think about Bird Ball. Go Birds!
I don't question his FRESH outlook. Lots of good energy and like what I see. But when another school can show SammySwishMan an extra, let's say, 50K per year potential...Subway's Eat Fresh approach goes right out the window and next thing ya know Burt Reynolds is driving Clyde Torkel's chicken car.

You're here for now Ty and we're glad to have you!👊 I run into Courtney's Dad now and then. Yessir, Fan1...he's got the good athletic chops.

But if our new recruits want to stick around for 3 yrs and be part of a veteran group that gets us to the Sweet 16...well, that won't upset me too much.

Congrats to the whole staff on this one!

Let’s look at Ty’s commitment a different way . . . Wouldn’t you rather have recruits you hope to hang on to than recruits you can’t wait to see leave?

I’m excited to see what Ty can do for us, regardless of how long he’s here.
