hopefully it Minott and CamdenMemphis fans should be pretty excited this week. Minott, Camden, and Nesbitt are committing in short order, and they will get 2 of those 3.
hopefully it Minott and Camden
Nesbitt would be the first Illini from the city of St Louis since Bill Morris in 1972.
Not quite, but very close, a suburb called Wildwood. Would be like someone being from Schaumburg instead of Chicago.Wasn’t Tyler Griffey from St. Louis?
Does this have anything to do with how Mac's recruitment is playing out?
Their staff thinks it's 3/3.
Their staff is wrong.
Priorities? All Illini, all the time.Love the dramatic repeat "enter" keys, I20. From your mouth to G-d's ears. Every year i say why do i get hung up in these kids deciding where to go to school. every year i feel embarrassed that i actually follow it. every year i stay hung up. gotta work on my priorities.
I don't think so. It's recruiting and no commit is secure until they sign the dotted line. I would think it would be mal-recruiting if they didn't continue to pursue key targets they want until one of them commits. Mac has options. I'm sure stories are right that Illini are a key player, but who knows where Mac will take his talents to next year. So until ink is on paper, I wouldn't think Illinois will quit pursuing recruits until then.Is this a bad sign in terms of how recruiting Mac is going?

Assuming we get a couple of our current Top 100 targets this fall, I'll be tempted to say that our recruiting has nearly recovered from from the Weber/Groce regimes. More importantly, we'll be back where we belong as a consistent and legitimate Top 10 national power. (And when you think about it, that's a pretty strong statement given we haven't played in an NCAA tournament since 2013.)
Agree...ratings mean nothing really...if you have watched Hawkins and understand the game you realize this guy will be specialMan.. people are passing on Hawkins.. I hope you are all wrong.. that would be a good thing
Slipped my mind, but you're right.Man.. people are passing on Hawkins.. I hope you are all wrong.. that would be a good thing
i mentioned this because I think it’s conceivable that both schools are selling him as a guard, and because of that, any recruitment of SFs won’t factor much in his decision.
Can someone tell me what the difference is between Miller and Nesbitt other than 3 inches? On film, they seem to have a similar style, both are alpha dogs, and both want to play the same position (though Miller probably gets the edge in shooting and defense). If you’ve got Curbelo at the point, do both play at the same time in Underwood’s offense?
And yet, he mentioned that Underwood sees him being used in the same way they use Ayo, which isn't any different than what Memphis is selling.
Yeah, Curbelo at the point and Miller and Nesbitt as your 2 wings. If Hopkins came too he'd be the 4 and then Giorgi at the 5 assuming Kofi leaves. That's a heck of a starting line-up. Hutchison and Grandison too, plus Hawkins is 8, add a back-up big and that's one helluva 9 man rotation. Add Etienne and that's 9, all playing a lot, no one getting tired.
Is there a Hawkins we are going after this year also?Goode, Nesbitt, Hawkins, and Mac might be a better class than Curbelo/Miller/Hawkins
Curbelo/Hutch
Miller/Nesbitt
Grandison/Goode
Hawkins/Coleman/BVV
Mac/Giorgi
Some question marks: who knows how exactly the freshman and transfers will play, but it projects to be another incredibly talented, deep team. Who knows how Lieb and Hamlin will develop, too.

Anyone able to find a message board for Memphis? I like to check out what the other half is saying sometimes. I'm pretty tech savvy but cant find anything other than 247 and rivals
