Ha, stumbled across a /s post from @nichi last year. Same old same, old a year ago in the recruiting threads, of course, but got a bit of a kick out of this one. https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/post/illinois-hoops-recruiting-thread.31216/post-1901110 "Anything short of 25 wins, a 4 seed, and...

Yeah, man, sometimes it seems like Brad just doesn't listen to us. It can be frustrating.

Oh yeah, if that's the scenario then agreed 100%. I read a comment on him somewhere that he had a pretty late growth spurt - was actually like a 6'2" guard at age 16 or so, but has had a some awkwardness adjusting to his new height. But once he figures that out, he seems to have huge upside...

A fair question. Or would we call him a wing and just triple down on positional size? (Hence my question about him being able to guard on the perimeter. Brad also seems to think Booth could do this.) I'm also reminded of a post from @Indy Illini Fan last month about Tre White and him...

Watched a bit more and was interested to see that he actually has a pretty balanced game between the perimeter and the post. Main question in my mind now is, can he effectively guard a wing on the perimeter? If yes, then he's quite interesting for a team that wants to exploit matchups...

Someone with his size is always intriguing - this guy is no different. Would he be a come and earn it guy? My main question is what's up with the free throw shooting? It's always a concern to me if a player is supposed to have "shooting" as part of his game but he struggles from the line...

He did one for Ben Humrichius as well. Didn’t see if that one was posted previously.

Wow, we have way different outlooks on that hypothetical team. If we happen to land Watkins (which is a huge IF, but that's who you listed there) then I would LOVE the team's outlook. A starting lineup of Boswell, Watkins, White/Rodgers, Humrichous and Ivisic sounds super strong to me...

I don’t know anything about personality tests, but it sounds like you should hit Brad up too. Might be some more money to be made there for you 👍.

Great summary of where we stand at the moment, imo (y)

?? Last year was a lot of matchup iso ball, that's what booty ball is. But I suppose you're correct in expecting matchup iso stuff to continue. Brad has said as much in a recent presser - we will continue to look to exploit favorable matchups, and then if defenses double or rotate to...

Seems a bit odd that dad would be giving any attention at all to this if it was completely off the table. But what do I know. Caught my eye, though. I don’t really have an opinion on whether I actually think it’d be a good idea.

I don't know, I think this might still be too early to call. In my opinion, the biggest pickup of the offseason is going to be Ivisic, from a roster building perspective. Now, to be clear, I'm not saying I think Ivisic will end up being our best player next year or anything like that, but I...

Thank You. So much this. Last year, our best player and best NBA prospect ran literally zero booty ball. Brad doesn't make guys adapt to his system, he adapts to his guys (with the caveat that Brad does have general preferences for what he looks for in players in the first place - EDGs...

Did he redshirt the 21-22 season? The stats seem to skip that year on ESPN. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/stats/_/id/4606840/jamir-watkins
