IlliniDent
- Chicago, IL
Huge get as Higgs gives us depth at a position of need. He is definitely a 4 but still gives us 1 more guy who can play in the post. He also helps blunt our need for a 4 next year.
Admissions was busy! Giving Ward credit
Could have used Zdor's height, but no doubt Higgs has a much more B1G ready body and more athleticism.
:thumb:
He's listed at 6' 8" with a 7' 1" wingspan. I think he can figure out the rim protecting part. Sounds like a hard worker and definitely a champion. Good get this late in the game for the Illini.
One thing that everyone probably knows, but this staff isn’t about grabbing a 6 10 back to the basket big. They want energy, high motor, passers who can grab rebounds. Leron had most of that. It’s really a shame he left. Not for him, but for us. Haha.
Like I said, admissions was busy. Still a little work to do for the 2 players now.
It’s a start, just a start. But the staff wants one more big. 5th year ideally. We will see.

Higgs gives us the mass we've been searching for

Anthony Higgs (2018 F) commits to Illinois
Since he'll play this season, let's discuss in the 2018-19 thread-
https://www.illinoisloyalty.com/Forums/showthread.php?p=1400226#post1400226
Is eligible for this year? If he transferred from Ole Miss, does he have to sit?
I really hope he can play this year.
Not sure if you are serious.....He de-committed from Ole Miss, never played there.
Higgs > Ebo ? Understanding they're not the same position. But if that's the case, then this last month was a net positive.
