Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (September 2019)

[Peoria Pipeline]

I know Underwood doesn't look at stars but i do. Anybody know anything about, Hawkins

Seems like a typical recruit that BU likes. Tall, can handle ball, good shooter, can guard multiple positions.

Would Nick Ervin be able to recruit Chicago?

Highly skilled big with ties to Illinois/Chicago, has interest in Illini...very good chance we get 2 commitments on the visit, with him cancelling his final 2 visits imo. He has talked before of wanting an Illini offer and regarding it with interest.

Very high upside with Durant kind of play.

Seems a lot hypey for a #212 composite

A class of Miller, Hawkins, and Ruzhentsev would be 4/5* PG/SG- 2-3/4* Swing shooter very good class for us if we can pull it off.

Not Miller.

Adam Miller, supposedly. If Hawkins and Miller both committed then I would be a happy man.

 

[KnoxIllini2]

Not Miller.

Has it been pushed back to HOF weekend or canceled all together?

The former.

 

[illini0440]

Also FWIW I don't think Nicks Linkedin page is fully accurate....

 

[KnoxIllini2]

[WiscIllini]

Not Miller.

Right, but is there someone? ...Kouma? I kid

Good Lord, GMAB.

Offer list isn't bad. USC, Marquette, Rutgers, Arizona, San Diego State, Nevada, and some others.

Yep, even to the point of Hurley hiring Nick. It will be interesting to see if Nick comes with Miller to C/U. Supposedly, Nick was with him on the trip to Arizona. People must realize that Mike Irvin is without a doubt the master of negotiations and will use any tactic or rumor he can to up the ante. Remember we were in the lead for KFC up to the last 15 minutes of that recruitment.

Yes, and I find it strange to hear people bash MIF when he's operated like this forever, and we can choose whether or not to get involved.

No good salesman's is....

 

[Berg88]

Very high upside with Durant kind of play.

Hopefully with a bit more athleticism though.

 

[PlayAZ]

Good Lord, GMAB.

Type of play...NOT same player....fugg read I wish some on here could read between the lines once in awhile...if we made all of our posts literal all the time there would be one post per page for all the people on here posting to figure out the intent of said posts?

Read the Header on the video btw?

 

[WiscIllini]

See previous posted video, I am not the only one that thinks he has that kind of ability...now whether he turns out to be that kind of player who knows?

With a question mark, though, so can we really trust the highlight video title?

 

[IllFanInMi]

Rumblings on DePaul board Carte’are Gordon has been seen with the Miznoz crew (Porters), etc... That would be so Clownzo.

 

[UncleBob]

Definately gone and definately at Mizzou supposedly...Bounce once shame on you, Bounce twice shame on you...Misery may follow.

Does Clownzo’s sister teach at DePaul?
