Was the boat a rowboat?

Fun fact: Max Christie's real first name is Cormac.

His older brother's name is Tarmac.

That is fun.

Dinghy

What’d you call me?!?!

 

[IndyIllini2]

Won't he cut into TU's minutes?

God I hope so.

 

[TCTORNADO]

He's wasting his time. He's a Duke lock.

You might want to tell BU that, because he's in to visit Christie on Wednesday.

Since all of you are double dribbling on this, I'll feel free to hit the nail on the head:

...the Magnificent!!

Illinois last visit= "This isn't good, he might not even make it to us, and he might be sick of officials by then. Would rather make first impression"
Illinois first visit= "This isn't good, he might forget everything he saw by the time he finishes his officials. Would rather make last impression"
Illinois mid visit= "This isn't good. If he actually cared about this he would have made us the first/last official. Would rather make first/last impression"

There you go. I did the whole argument for you.

Recruiting angst in a nutshell. If only the elites had the same issue.

That would set us up for years to come! Even if he’s a one and done.

For some reason I was thinking he was a 2019 or 2020. He’s a 2021. Still want him.

Glad to see that the big guy signed. Are we done with this class?

Holyfield and Cross yet.

 

[bombayIllini]

No Bernard Kouma ?

But the dead period is over. We are in a (mostly) open period until May 2, followed by a "quiet period" during which I believe on campus visits are allowed. Next dead period is May 16-24, which is after the NLI signing period. So . . . :noidea:

NLI signing period doesn't matter for transfers.

In this situation......a lot. Also a fun little tidbit, him and TU are very tight from back in the day.

TU 6th man of the year!!

Takeittothehoop already mentioned (via Kedrick Prince) back on the 13th that Illinois is in the hunt for Matt Milon. Here's some back ground info on him (Milon, not Takeittothehoop ).

Illini in the mix for grad transfer Matt Milon

Everything's fine, goodnight.

I just saw Holyfield shot 41% from 3 last season. Is there a chance if we get him he plays some 3? Or could it maybe be him at the 4 so Giorgi could keep playing the starting 5? Either way if we add a piece like him we could potentially have 6 guys (Ayo, Trent, Giorgi, Feliz, Kofi, Holyfield) who I would say have star potential to take a game over which is something you love to see.
