It’s a GREAT day to be a Redbird.

The Valley's best for the sixth time in the last seven seasons ‼️ DETAILS: bit.ly/4uVHICx

Former Redbird Dalton Banks has returned to Illinois State men’s basketball as a graduate assistant, per his social media. #REDBIRDbasketball

@KenJBarro Well said. We thought it was going to change after 2014. So seeing 12 years later off another FCS title appearance that we aren’t even top 40 is so depressing.

It’d be nice to be on an even field with the rest of FCS but despite that this coaching staff is second to none in evaluating talent and coaching it up! Most importantly, the Redbird players are a tough, gritty and talented group that never quits!#TOP2FCS

@OzarkKent That just tells me we don’t want to actually compete. 0 reason to be that far behind the top 10. 0 reason to be behind any other in state FCS program.

We got our money’s worth out of Illinois State football last season! EIUs budget > than ISUs.

Illinois State is not even in the top 40 (public schools). Gotta do better.

@ChadMazanowski I’m sure he’s much better in person, but his online/radio persona is a hard pass.

@RedbirdsBack This is only true if you actually have a conversation with him vs his social media persona.

Now that a certain person is off the staff can we quit pretending his dad matters?

@AnthonyNelson35 Andrew was great. Dan’s a has been grifter.

@RedbirdsBack His dad is an absolute pud, but Andrew was nice enough. Unfortunately, couldn’t really coach offense.

@BigSteveo007 @MVCsports @IndStBaseball Conference only: Avg: .400 4th Ops: 1.237 2nd Hits: 38 4th HR: 7 tied for 2nd (leader has 8) SLG: .737 2nd Walks: 17 4th Ks: 12 vs Beck 14 Indiana States boy only ahead in RBIs and HRs. Get educated, kid.

@RedbirdsBack @MVCsports @IndStBaseball Now look at conference stats when Illinois state isnt facing the school of the blind in their non conference schedule. Get educated kid

MVC doesn’t know ball. The best player in the league is in Normal.

COMMITTED ❤️🤍 @Redbird_MBB

Sources: Purdue is finalizing an agreement to host Illinois State as part of its 2026-27 non-conference schedule. Date is TBA. #B1G #MVC

I spy #REDBIRDhoops

@putmeincoach03 No

Time to delete again

@Ana_L_Beads_CFB True, but instead he’s forever Illinois State royalty.

@RedbirdsBack O-hawk would have only lasted one year with NIL, would have gotten picked up quick by a big school. We were lucky to have him

@TonyPatelis Full game? No, but he dropped 20 on the Bonnies and they wanted him bad.

@RedbirdsBack Have you seen him play before?

Love this pickup. Fits the mold of exactly what I wanted to see added.

@_denggarang @Redbird_MBB Welcome to Normal

Blessed ! #rollbirds
