Hearing that Big Mac could be making a decision by year end.

Year end or lunch?

BU is recruiting right now an elite shooter and defender who is a bball Savant.

UCLA nice campus/sites and history. Not sure I blame him. I like that JUCO big from Southern Illinois.

He committed to Western Kentucky.

This prediction is comparable to an athletic Larry Bird

What does it take for a (likely) top 5 team in the country to get a recruit!

Terrible 2021 recruiting job by staff. No way to sugar coat it.

At approximately the same time this got posted, we got officially ranked in the top-5 of the AP Poll for the first time in 15 years. I think I can live with a rough recruiting patch under the assumption that this staff seems to know what it's doing.

Having a top 5 team and a bad recruiting period can both be true.

Sooo... who’s playing for Morgan Park and/or MIF these days...?

 

[Illiniboss33]

DONT PANIC.. GREATER THINGS ON ON THE HORIZON..

 

[hooraybeer]

really hope we’re not getting set up for a huge coaching ship jump at the end of the year. the winds blowing something similar in recruits ears is one of the only plausible scenarios in my mind that explains our current recruiting difficulties

and yes, i still get sad when i think of bill self

 

[FightingIllini40]

Enjoy the success while it lasts because Illinois is gonna be back to the middle or bottom of the Big Ten for a few years

That's a tough miss... But... Are we sure Kofi is a sure thing to go next year? Have to wonder if recruits are weighing that in. I love Kofi but not sure he screams first round draft pick at the moment.

 

[LvilleILL]

Kofi is not going to be a for sure thing next year.......

Show me where I claimed otherwise.

Still not worried, transfer market here we come. Will be some D1 players who would like to play with Belo and Ace.

Self missed on a whole bunch of kids he was after. That said, it goes with the territory.

Haven’t seen the same improvement from him that we’ve seen from Ayo but it is early yet.

 

[illini0440]

Not good.
