Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (November-December 2018)

[Elgin7680]

Is Mark Smith coming back?!?!?!?

Oh he is "Coming Home Again"

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Wing or mobile big, can't see taking up a scholarship for anyone else position wise...I know I know...

Wing is what I have heard.

I know that the staff is on it, and we will see if it comes to fruition.

If it does, then we are looking at a late December, early January as a timeframe.

 

[PlayAZ]

With all this talk about a potential transfer coming...

Don't forget about DJ Stewart over at Mississippi State.

Kid the staff liked really early, I don't know if he has even appeared in a game yet since he has no stats currently.

Good call and probably on point...they were redshirting him? http://www.cdispatch.com/sports/article.asp?aid=69807

I have zero and I mean zero intel, but if we are playing the guessing game let's shoot for the moon. Okoro averaging under 8 mins and 2 points a game. I think we could find a spot for him!

I like the way you think, my clearly-drunk friend.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Rumors we are getting a kid who hasn't even announced he is transferring yet. Sounds like some Cuonzo Martin back-channeling to me.

Maybe Josh Cunningham

 

[IdahoIllini]

Zion Griffin?

 

[PlayAZ]

Zion Griffin?

I thought of that possibility as well....next to DJ Stewart it may make the most sense. Conditt doesn't seem to be doing all that great there either.

 

[foby]

Zion Williamson?

 

[Obelix]

I know who it is.

(Don’t get too excited)

 

[Deep_Throat]

Big 12 Wing...

Should be a welcomed addition.

Still though, Kofi is where our sights are set.

 

[PlayAZ]

(Don’t get too excited)

Frankie Policelli was a previous offer who was going to redshirt at Dayton?

 

[PlayAZ]

I related (unrelated) news...Micah Potter from Ohio State to Wisconsin transfer. 1.5 remaining to play.

Big 12 Wing...

Should be a welcomed addition.

Still though, Kofi is where our sights are set.

Some 2018 recruits who went to BIG12 below. I think I only see one wing:

Maurice Calloo/ Okie st
Flo Thamba/Baylor
Austin Trice/Kansas St
jaxson Hayes/Texas
Kaden Archie/TCU
Courtney Ramey/ Texas

 

[Joel Goodson]

Big 12 Wing...

Should be a welcomed addition.

Still though, Kofi is where our sights are set.

Mark Felt, is that you?

Good info, thanks. Kofi would turn our collective frown upside down.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Davon Dillard?

What about Zion Griffin?

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Zion Griffin?

Alex Legion?

 

[BWilson25]

So 'Ol Dirty Gamer' is telling us not to be too excited.

'Deep Throat' is telling us it should be a welcome addition.

It's obvious which screen name carries more historical credibility ; )

 

[CoalCity]

Maybe Josh Cunningham

Cunningham would have no eligibility left for a mid season transfer.

 

[Johnny Lawrence]

Alex Legion?

Quade Green?

 

[mhuml32]

Alex Legion?

 

[Peace Frog]

Quade Green?

This would be awesome

His start to this year has been about as bad as it could be.

Not that it means a whole lot, seeing as he wouldn't be eligible to play until Jan. of 2020 if he transfers before the start of this years second semester. I would take him, but I wouldn't expect much until the 2020-2021 season (not that any mid season transfer would provide much a boost before then anyways.)

he'd learn the system before hitting court.
