    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Maybe that isnt the reason he is leaving IL but the way I understood his interview on the field of 68, he was entering the portal to essentially maximize money potential. So maybe not the reason he left us, but he is trying to do so anyways. At this point for CH, what determines if he goes pro...

    How long (if at all possible with NIL) till we see performance based NIL or bonuses at the end of the year? Maybe if something along those line, we could have made it right with Hawkins at the end of last season. I can respect him wanting more money but it doesnt make me feel any better about...

    Ok, I give in. I will weigh in on the fries. I loathe McDonalds as a whole so I dont eat there. Freddy's however leads the game for me. Wendy's can be really good too if you like the thicker ones but they are hit and miss.... Back to the reason I am on here. This is the most I have followed in...

    I understand the view that Storr is a tough wing to defend but I just don't see him as an EDG or someone giving 125%. Am I wrong thinking that? Surely Wisconsin would have wanted to keep him and up his NIL money to do so. I may be wrong but I think there is more behind the scenes and hopefully...

    I really wanted to see Sencire this coming year but I understand him leaving as well, I wish him the best. However, is this a lesson learned for the coaches or could there be a rule change coming? He sat out this year as a redshirt and then joined the portal following that season. As I read...

    One of those extended viewings of Hurley, it looked like he just did a line. Strange faces, rubbing his nose, just crazy looks

    I've read we are looking for a 5 man. I'm not on top of the rest of the basketball scene, but once Edey and Clingan are gone after tonight, are there any other big men like them that will cook us if we dont have someone to match up? I've heard all the Purdoo fans say they have another 7 footer...

    Can we maybe force our hand by playing Ty, Coleman, and Dain? At that point I would assume Clingan would be in the Dainja zone?

    I almost always root for the big ten teams but Purdoos fans have ruined that for me. I know our team does it too but I hate the gestures after making a shot. Act like you’ve done it before
