I have a doctor appt. at 4pm tomorrow, so the update will be a little late. But, I'm sure everyone will be reading the "DJax Commits to the Illini" thread, so no one will notice.

Ben Moore getting no respect?

rbachhuber · Sep 27, 2012, 04:02 PM

The Illini have offered 2013 power forward Ben Moore out of Bolingbrook High School. I added him to the grid.

What if he accidentally posted one of them four hours early?

Good one !

Thanks for the update and inclusion of the committed school name!

rbachhuber · Oct 4, 2012, 05:16 PM

2013 PG Jaylon Tate out of Simeon High School commits to the Illini.

So one scholly open in 2013 and one more in 2014. If someone transfers (likely to be one), then perhaps two in 2013 and one more in 2014. There is certainly some talent, but few difference makers so far. Does Groce sign an elite player in 2014, or do we put all our chips on 2015... Groce's 4th season at Illinois?

That's a really tough call. I'd say if you can get a top 15, KBD or CA type use one. If not, wait and see if the RSmith-Groce connection can be parlayed into a Matthews-Williams class. I am of the opinion that at least one scholarship in the next two years opens up to make this a lot easier decision. At the end of this season there is going to be at least a couple guys not happy with their PT if not more. We just have too many good players for that not to happen.

rbachhuber · Oct 6, 2012, 01:53 PM

Dayshon Smith to the University of Dayton. He gone.

rbachhuber · Oct 13, 2012, 09:38 PM

XRM to FSU.

rbachhuber · Oct 14, 2012, 07:14 PM

Based on information posted in the recruiting thread, I've removed Sterling Brown and Demetrius Henry as 2013 prospects. Apparently we have not been recruiting them for some time.

IlliniRunIn07 · Oct 14, 2012, 07:16 PM

Still holding out hope for JP, I see!

rbachhuber · Oct 16, 2012, 07:03 PM

Ben Moore to SMU to paint Dallas red and blue.

rbachhuber · Oct 18, 2012, 08:48 AM

The Illini have offered a scholarship to 2014 Springfield IL G Larry Austin, Jr.

CaliforniaIllini · Nov 12, 2012, 04:19 PM

Guess we need to update this!

And, yes, FeelYourPaign, I was at work. Oh, wait, I wasn't supposed to tell you that.

Do you keep the historical rosters on there? Any idea when we last used up all 13 scholarships in a season (without handing one out to a preferred walk on, ala Jeffery Jordan)?

I suppose it still isn't a given we use all 13 next year, but it sure isn't a bad idea using them up!

The earliest one I can find is 2007 - 2008. All 13 scholarships were used, but two were redshirts -- Jamar Smith and Alex Legion. Walk-ons were Trent Meacham, Steve Holdren, Jeff Jordan, and Chris Hicks.

bleedsorangenblue · Nov 12, 2012, 09:33 PM

So we are all filled up for 2013 .... guess Jabari Parker will have to walk on for us.

LOL :laugh:

illinasty · Nov 13, 2012, 02:42 PM

I'm wondering when our grid got so out of whack. 5 open schollies this year and 6(!) in 2015? That's simply too many rides to be trying to fill all at once.
