Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Lennon and McCartney asked the same question 60 years ago.
I do! Love the dude! Dislike IU as much as the next Illini fan, but IF Goode goes there, I will certainly hope HE does well...
Or, as they say… patience is a good trait.
I believe this part of your duo-post rant is misguided. I believe he was saying that it is good to wait until some of the declarees get feedback and pull out.
How does this compare to other Big Ten basketball teams?
Ok so what. This doesn’t take into account players like Kofi, Giorgio, and Ayo who left early or Felix who was a 2 year transfer and Kipper who played all 4 but not the first year under Brad or Grandison who transferred to Illinois and was here for 3 years and used his Covid year elsewhere.
There’s a lot of factors to why he has such a short list of full 4 year players.

I'm alumni of our "iMBA" program and while I thoroughly enjoyed it, I didn't do it to get a big corporate job or brag about program rankings. "We" had asked not to be ranked on most if not all lists. Initially, it was because there wasn't a lot of data about results having transitioned to an online-only program. Now, you'd have to believe it's because it wouldn't help our marketing. And it makes sense right? If your MBA degree is far cheaper than top programs, that opens up a whole new market of students who wouldn't have paid what those top programs command for the degree. And then results may vary accordingly. My experience with the program was fantastic, and I'd recommend it to nearly anyone.
As far as Goode is concerned, if he wants a top MBA on a scholarship, transferring to Indiana makes sense. They have a highly ranked program that is well respected.

I don’t believe conference championships are that important any more. Each team’s fair share is 1 every 18-20 years. Several teams are going to go 40-50 years without a conference title!
In fact, conference championships are becoming almost harder to win than national championships due to the extreme competition in the Big 10.
It’s now all about getting a post season “invitation” —- in football, basketball, and baseball. Then see if you can get really hot (and a little bit lucky) over a 3-week span to win a Natty.
My concern with the process is not the talent we are going to get. BU has shown that
Building a new roster is hard and you have to find players who play well together and that is hard to do in a summer. Plus it is harder to have a consistent culture

I have it as “Hum rich us” im really trying to keep it that way until I say it out loud and have someone correct me. That's more fun.
Illini in Indiana

The point of this was to show that we will still have the talent that we had with our Portal departures. It will be tough for them to gel together like last years team. It has to be tough to find new EDG, and IMO we must be somewhat of a tough program to play for . Which makes it really good when it works, not so much when it doesn't. Remember what it was like before BU, none of us wants that.
I look forward to the "big gets" that our insiders have hinted to, and I think Morez Johnson may be the best Illini that we've had since Ayo (maybe better). He continually over achieves and does it without drama.
