Nate Santos would be a nice pickup for us, Barnes and Weston as well. Plenty of playing time coming up for those positions/size of players.

Happy about Miller’s decision but not worrying about not signing. We have Curbelo, Trent, Alan and two juniors who are redshirting this year at guard and Giorgi, BBV, Jermaine, Hawkins, and probably Kofi as bigs. Leaves Tevian and DaMonte as wild cards. A lot of talent and some good recruiting, just needs coaching and chemistry.

Can someone explain why Kentucky is allowed to sign 6 commits for 2020 (per 247 all have signed LOIs) and yet they only have 1 senior on the roster? As far as I can tell they have 13 scholarship players this year.

Let's not forget that Curbelo and Hawkins are outstanding recruits AND they are signed. So when Miller does sign it will be the cherry on top of a really good sundae

Very happy with both these recruits...Curbelo is what we need right now I think, and when it is all said and done...Hawkins will show us he is what we have been hoping for a long time.

From the sounds of it, the likely outcomes are both quite positive.

Either: 1) Ayo goes pro and Miller signs, or 2) Ayo stays for a 3rd year and Miller de-commits. Either way, the Illini remain talented.
I'll bet my beach house that Yao goes pro AND Miller signs. I get the PTSD all of us fans have though....one too many kicks in the jimmys.

I think we keep recruiting a shooting guard, what if he don't come for whatever reason, this door swings both ways !!


Name 1 shooting guard worth recruiting when that could potentially jeopardize our relationship with Miller. There are none left at this point.

I think at most we open up conversations with plays at the JUCO level that might be transfer candidates and keep an eye out for a grad transfer option as our back ups.
