    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    It's been days and it still blows my mind. Michigan losing a football recruit to us is like a Juwan coached team beating us in basketball.

    TSJ Thread

    The OP stating that at this time there is no known video of the alleged victim and TSJ being within close enough distance to have physical contact is not contrary to what the detective wrote even if that detective were to try testifying as such. As you stated, there is video evidence that the...

    So just a word of caution here- this could be an entirely unrelated occurrence or it could indeed have some relevance. Unless something insane happens like this other person coming out and admitting it was him we'll have no idea. The real takeaway from this is that the defense is doing their...

    I think this is overly harsh. Where I think the missteps are for both board members and insiders alike is just underestimating how fluid this new landscape is and what an almost truly free market can do. Insiders can be told something is a done deal and report it. And in most of those cases it...

    From my understanding of the statements by the defense along with the released filing, it appears that there was technically 5 different swabs (tests) that were performed, and the difference is the analysis/interpretation of those tests. This difference appears to be that the defense is saying...

    Interesting how luring kids with only a high school education at best with bags of cash and lottery tickets to force them to sign contracts with verbiage they don't understand to make financial decisions they couldn't possibly realize the significance of could result in massive amounts of them...

    Again, number 2 assumes that Illinois would be unable to make a competitive offer. And it also presumes Dee would just take highest bag, something that there is no evidence of him doing at that time. You want to say Deron wouldn't have stayed, I think there is enough info from that time that I...

    We can play hypotheticals all we want with NIL had it come to fruition 20 years ago, but I find this argument particularly infuriatingly nonsensical, because if it were true, then: 1. Why did Dee ever stay when Self left, when Self actively tried recruiting him over to Kansas with him, where he...

    Wow! Miracles can indeed happen! This is one hell of a player and he cancelled his trips to USC and Michigan to commit here? That's just unbelievable. This did really happen, right? I mean we haven't chained him to a radiator under Memorial Stadium and hacked his socials, correct? I'm in...

    Yeah, that's the problem. From my own personal experience serving as a juror, both times there was at least one juror who was unapologetically racist. A black man just doesn't always get a fair shake in a Kansas courtroom. Personally, unless there is key evidence that is being withheld, I think...

    Different states have different guidelines on what is non-consent. It doesn't have to be verbal and in some states like California from my understanding, there doesn't have to be any communication whatsoever to stop. The general rule of thumb nowadays is that if one of the people believe they...

    It's based on 24/7's composite rankings and uses a gaussian distribution equation of the following form: Sum(1,n)=100*(x-0.7)*e^{-0.5*[(n-1)/9]^2} Where x is the individual player's rating and n is the nth best recruit they are that you have recruited, and sum(1,n) is the summation of your...

    If we were to still consider Dennis, we'd be roughly 12 spots higher at rank 56, 214.13 overall and 26recs, so that's competitive with the UCLA thru Maryland tier. Losing Dennis definitely hurts in that regard.

    So for those wondering how our 2024 recruiting class stacks up compared to the rest of the B10 after Dennis has left, it's well, not pretty. And while 24/7 rankings aren't the end all be all, it's still troubling as the only team we'll have outrecruited is Northwestern, who just had the biggest...

    I watched a decent amount of tape on Booth and he plays similar to a soph-junior CoHawk though more secure with the ball. He's very similar in that while athletic and is quite successful when he's taking the ball to the rim, he opts more for a very perimeter oriented far less efficient shot, so...
