Does Michael Orris have any eligibility left?
That reference nearly blind sided me....
That's my view as well. That would be a very good class.

Is this a class that we could likely tie up by October? I don't know what we would do, if we didn't need to fill 3 scholarships in the Spring.
If we filled the scholarships we would go back to the can Underwood count discussions & where will the scholarships come form.
However, the way things go those choices aren't mutually exclusive. We could be having a where are we going to get the scholarships debate in the fall & then trying to fill scholarships in the spring/late summer. Some things just repeat,recycle, and repeat.
Talk about recruiting in the gray area. They gave him a home, meals, clothes...all in plain sight.
Pretty good shot.

Great article detailing the ups and downs of being a transfer. Donoven Carlisle also has interest in Illinois. Go follow him on Twitter.

Getting a UK offer could change that.
Here’s a blog post he wrote: https://usatodayhss.com/2019/the-d-j-steward-blog-blue-bloods-calling-da-baby-and-more
Oh no....no take backs
Cal comes calling things could change. Unlikely but you can never be $ure. Especially if UK misses on BJ Boston and Josh Christopher.
PT would be more limited there with at least 2-3 ahead of him at his position than it would be at Duke, UNC, Texas, Louisville or Illinois.
Even if he decides he wants to take an OV here, it really amounts to nothing. He ain’t coming.
Miller, Curbelo, Kalkbrenner is best case. Staff feels confident on all 3.
Curbelo really likes us. Wouldn’t even be in it with him without Antigua. Maryland, Texas Tech, Louisville are the biggest threats.

In AO I trust.
I would feel better if these kids declared and signed ASAP, instead of " staff feels ......"

What's up with Louisville? Anywhere I turn I see them. 
what about Watson, is he interested in ILL
Is there really that big of a difference in talent between Seward and Miller that one gets blueblood offers and the other doesn't? It's ironic honestly because a year or two ago the roles would've been flopped almost entirely.
Yes...staff really likes him but Curbelo is option A.
<insert Why not both girl meme>
Nailed it.
Not talking about our number. Kids only get 5

Not Illini related, but anytime Chrissy Collins takes one on the chin, it makes me smile a little.

But let's not confuse the 2 different questions inherently buried in the question. 1) Do we have a shot at his last visit? 2) Do we have a shot at landing him?
After reading the blog article you posted, I would say it is slim for 1...the odds of 2 are within the noise levels of zero...so cue up the dumb & dumber, so you're saying there is a chance
Purdue actually scares me a bit on the Kalkbrenner recruitment. Swannigan, Haas, now Harms. They've really done a great job with developing bigs and have a lot to sell.
We have Black, GB and now Kofi. OA should attract a good amount of attention.
