we are truly in business if we can get him

will be interesting to see what happens when multiple high major somewhat desperate programs come at him with blank checks

and also would make for an interesting subplot if we were to steal him away from chester’s new program

Except post #1 is @Dan's, which means that post #11 is actually the #10 reply.

Guys there are rules to this game-

1) Dan's post doesn't count
2) Posts of people whining about the counting game do count
3) Try not to use the same GIF over and over
4) At least a dozen people need to comment in some way about how it's dumb or non-recruiting related, inevitably outnumbering the counting.

All 10 are not starter quality guys.

While I do agree that not all of them are starter quality guys on a good team. I think nearly all of them could start in the Big10 with the exceptions being Jaksty and probably Davis(though could make an argument for Davis at like Iowa or Minnesota).

Davis and Booth are the mystery men imo. They are both talented for sure, but how quickly will their games develop against rugged competition. We might be sleeping on them, but BU nailed them down so quickly there's obviously something special about them.

Brad and his staff are grinders. They ignore the social media firestorm and keep working to bring in the best players they can. S

Kansas is overloaded on give me the ball types . Small will ot want to be 4th or 5th option at Kansas

Don’t forget #5: If you screw up the order, you accept that you will be sufficiently ridiculed, especially considering the advent of the edit feature.

Good take Brosky and mine also. From what I see of the Davis tape, he has the size, quick elevation, and consistent release to be a major scorer (10-15 per game). Guys who can stop on a dime, elevate, and get their accurate shot off against most anyone are the kind of players I covet....if they can be just as good on defense. Davis shows the offensive skills which is all we get to see. If he can develop the Trent Frazier/Sencire Harris mindset on defense, he has NBA potential. Only thing that can hold him back is himself.

But he has yet to take the floor for all to see what is in his lunch pail...so there is nothing in my opinion based on anything of substance.

As for Booth, much the same could be said. If he is willing to dream and work to be that dream, then the sky is the limit. Can't teach him to be 6'10"...but he already has that gift.

I definitely agree. Just with the length and athleticism that Booth possesses I could easily see him starting for other power conference schools. He's just stuck behind Humrichous here.

I hope that means he's locked in as an Illini for multiple years because the sky is the limit for him with that size and explosion.

Didn't Davis set the Indiana state record for charges taken? That says willing defender.
