Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Love it. Can’t believe a “buddy” was dropped on here.

I'm not your buddy, pal.

So Watkins might be too expensive and from what I’ve read on other forums it sounds like Wake Forest might be in the lead for Kasparas. So it’s likely we’re just going to get Lathon then? I sure hope there’s more to it than that.

After our roster is filled I would be curious to know how far down the ladder we ended up on all of our potential transfer starters in each position besides Boswell.
I figure Boswell was the only one that we got that was our first choice.

Was your Significant Other your number one choice? Are you your Signifcant Others number one choice?

It seemed like Davis, Booth & Hum were out of the gate targets too.

especially Davis and Booth. The coaches evidently know something they really like in Davis. It's possible we already have that coveted wing we're waiting for.

Thanks for clearing it up.

Thought the pipe dream was Watkins and Monsanto. Guess that's out now...Anyways...

Just my honest opinion - give me Watkins. It's not to say that we won't be good with going the other directions - I think we'll be okay if either plays out - it's just what fits our needs proper. Just feel like we need a star at the wing position. Lathen and Monsanto/Kasparas would be great fits, but I don't know if either screams "star" to the extent of Watkins. Secondly, we've got depth - we'd be 9 deep if we add Watkins.

And didn't Brad say he'll only take 1 more because if more it'll become "too many?" Why not go after the one biggest fish?

I still can't understand why Cedric Coward's name is never brought up.

Ummm...Lathon is really really good.

He certainly is.

Watkins would cost the rest of what we have in NIL ...

Lathon and Kasparas would cost what Watkins would cost ... And I am not sure you could get both ... But not because of $$$ ... PT mainly ...

Lathon and Monsanto would allow us to have some NIL left over that we could spread out across the roster ...

I am not getting the vibe from the staff that Brad is as interested in Kelly as he is as the 3 main pieces above ...

And if you want my opinion ... Give me Lathon and Kasparas if those are the 3 options on the table ... And if not that ... Lathon and Monsanto ...

I really like Watkins so that's not to say I don't think he's good ... I just like the value I get with adding Lathon plus 1 ...

IMO, give me the best player. We already have 9 guys who could play in the rotation, and Brad has never played more than 8-9 guys. We need a 2/3 main scoring option. Boswell, STUD TRANSFER, Humidifier, Large T, White, Ty, and Morez would be a solid top 7. Let DGL, Davis and Booth fight it out to be the 8th and 9th guys.

Lathon wouldn't be close to what was expected when we were told to stop panicking about still getting a stud. Sorry just the truth.

Which player would you rather have?
