And if you had one shot at a RE-DO?

i was just saying I still think we land Mac and I still have hope for Bryce. But if I had a re-do I say probably Max Christe.

Hopkins to ILL and I have a VERY strong source telling me it’s a go... with Supreme confidence!

Welcome to Loyalty after dark my friends

If you add Bryce Hopkins to the 2021 Illinois Basketball Class Calculator, we jump from #68 to #31 overall. Not too shabby.

 

[ProfessorQC]

Oh, and if you are new around here and you don’t not know whitesoxfans history... please go do some research!

I saw that and even shared it elsewhere. I am not worried the least bit.

Whomever his Illinois source is they are confident its Illinois. That might be a better indication then how the Kentucky staff feels. Its going to be a long week waiting for this announcement!!!

Looks like Whitesoxfan also gave two Chiefs for Kofi, so this looks pretty good to me.

And Curbelo too as well as Mark Smith )).

 

[Illinoise]

Probably another case of telling multiple schools to expect a commitment to increase the drama. Hope it’s Illinois but probably Kentucky. If the assumption is that the family is trying to create suspense how could anyone but the family truly know?

 

[moggs3]

Just gonna sit back and enjoy all the drama and rumors leading up to the weekend. Except Friday at 7 I will be all football.

And Miller

This’ll take the sting out of losing Nesbitt/Jones....but altenberger has a good point.

With Covid, is there potential for us to be able to get Frazier and DMW a free year and have them again next year?

 

[B-ILL]

Going head to head with Kentucky for a top 30 recruit and coming out on top...

...If so, sounds like we're back.

Talk about dream scenario. Imagine losing two players as impactful as Ayo and Kofi and not even missing a beat.

 

[TheGMan]

Who has been the lead recruiter on Hopkins?

Chin

 

[Homecoming 2019]

Lost in all this discussion is when we started calling sources "sauces".

 

[TheGMan]

Chin

Thanks! Chin has also been awesome! I feel much better about most likely losing Antigua knowing that Chin will likely still be here. Hopefully we can replace Antigua with another solid recruiter though.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Rivals (FREE) interview with 2021 top UK commit, Nolan Hickman, and who he is helping recruit and no mention of Hopkins. Interview posted this morning.Hmmm
