We really don't need anyone encouraging later commitments, just to be sure...Damn .....I hope not

I don’t think I’m a naysayer, but until they sign I’m reluctant to call it a positive trend. The trend I do see is that we have done a good job of finding under the radar recruits when we’ve missed on our primary targets with the two obvious exceptions.For all the recruiting naysayers, the redundant BU doesn't talk to recruits, we don't/haven't gotten the ranked guys in the past, I would simply state our fortunes are definately turning I believe.
BU got Top 50 Ayo, then Top 50 Kofi, now is looking at a potential class of Top 50 Miller, Top 100 Ruzhentsev, Top 150 Hawkins in Class of 2020, then we are looking realistically at a class of 2021 of Top 150 Mclendon, (Champaign/Hawkins ties) and many other Top 25-100 types being here with likely up to 4 rides in that class and some success on court to build off of. I think we are definately trending in the right direction for recruits. We are getting there.

No final-three for Coleman Hawkins. Several involved, among them: Nevada, New Mexico, Illinois, Rutgers, SDSU, DePaul, others.
Brian Snow following suit with a 2nd CB now.Piper with a Crystal Ball pick for the Illini for Coleman Hawkins...
Looking good for Illinois, Brian Snow is one of the most reliable crystal balls out there.Brian Snow following suit with a 2nd CB now.
Seems like he'd be a perfect guy to pair with the new big from Lincoln who is much more of an inside guy.Coleman Hawkins = Length, shooting.
Hope we get him.
I would not count out a transfer at all. Feliz was a juco transfer and he is very good. We missed on a few transfers before and some were elite like Jordan Clarkson who people doubted because he was from Tulsa. I A tall , lanky guard with handles, that can shoot so while i may not expect that i would not be surprised either if one excelled especially by Hutch.Seems like recruiting has shifted from focusing on top 50 players, and looking more to the 100-200 range. They haven't stopped trying to get those elite prospects, but they definitely seem to have moved to lower tiers faster this year. I for one, am not complaining.
Getting Ayo and Kofi is exciting and worth it, but wiffing on basically all your other top prospects is a) a bad look and b) (much more important) detrimental to so many aspects of recruiting.
Don't think either of our transfers will blow away everyone we face, but they should contribute, and should contribute more than late adds to fill seats do.
They was still trash but with casey that win total might go up by a least 8-10 games.So is Tinley Park not bad at basketball anymore? They were in our conference as they used to be so trash.
Tinley Park is BAD! AJ is of course the star...but the other 4 are: #1-2 Dumb and Dumber and #3-4 Stepbrothers!! For the past 50 years it's never changed!! Most years the players don't know if a basketball is filled with air or rags!! I'm a BIG hs hoops fan...but in 50 years in the area I have never been to TP High School...for a reason! This year....I'll be at their FIRST GAME!So is Tinley Park not bad at basketball anymore? They were in our conference as they used to be so trash.
Sounds like the same tp. Why does that good kid go there? So many other south suburban schools with actual tradition. Hillcrest, Thornton, Bloom etc
