A big like Kane is more important than Jones or Ramey because of our talent distribution problems. Just like Ebo (#510 nationally ranked in HS) was arguably our 2nd most valuable freshman this season.

I only put this in this thread because I feel the "home away from home" in the graphic is about more than just the SEC Tourney this week. Something we(Illini and fans) are gonna see and hear a lot when it comes to recruiting.
Nauseating for all of us STL area Illini fans.
Would make it all that much sweeter of somehow Ramey and/or Liddell came to UI.

Crazy they are doing it in STL just like the MVC...
Im working on getting off of work early Friday so I can personally ask Ayo if he is going down to visit Jones on his visit. Morgan Park vs Bogan Friday night at 7. I will have on my Bogan T shirt, but I will still try to get a picture with him. Ill be sure to post info about the game.

Nice article. Let's hope he pans out!
Anyone listen to Loren Tate's podcast? How reliable is he?

Ayo tweeted that he's going to try to get down to see Jones this weekend.

Toughness doesn't help the team if you're sitting on the bench injured. He's a 6'9" center with absolutely no outside shot. I'll repeat, hard pass.

Walker would defintely be worth looking at for his spot then.
I'd guess from that the Lucas will stay around if we don't sign another PG, i.e. Ramey, which seems unlikely.

Me too... at 75, I caught that fast....
Straight from the Writing Illini on his sophomore season:
Against New Mexico State – who made the NCAA tournament last year – Walker finished the game with 11 points and 14 rebounds on 5-fo-9 shooting from the field. Against Cincinnati, he finished with 11 points and 11 rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting from the field. Against Saint Louis, he finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Against Florida State, he struggled scoring but still finished with 4 points and 8 rebounds.

Has two years of eligibility and plenty of time to recover from his injury. And no outside shot? Who cares. We don't need a 5 who can hit 3's. We need a 5 who can rebound, be a presence around the rim on offense, and defend against opposing bigs.

Tate put a lot of emphasis on getting Ramey... a lot... which it doesn't sound like is going to happen...
I hope he does. I was thinking that if Morgan Park wins Friday Nick is gonna have them practicing.. (I mean conditioning) all day Saturday
