Sad but true. Groce said something similar.
“I’m not going to fill a roster spot just to fill a roster spot,” Groce said. “I don’t want to patch the dam or Band-Aid something. That’s not what we’re trying to do. (Scholarships) are like gold.”

I don't know which 2 guys you are referencing, but I will just list the announcement dates for kids that are coming soon.
Anthony Walker - October 20th
Quincy Guerrier - End of October
Oscar - October 20th
TSJ - November 1st
Once all of those kids commit, the main targets left on the board are Drew Timme, Kofi Cockburn, Tre Mitchell.
Said it a couple weeks ago we are possibly looking at not getting a single player in the early signing period and trying to piece together
a recruiting class in the spring from what is left over. Not a good way to build a program and get back to the tournament especially when we have to
get a legitimate big in this recruiting cycle

I could truly care less what Kedrick has to say in regards to Illinois recruiting
I couldn't.

Maybe he cares just a little. In that case, he could care less (than he does).
I really hope this does not happen if only for the fact that some fans will begin calling for a new head coach, especially if we finish around 13th in the BIG this year as most preseason rankings are indicating. Underwood deserves more time - I just hope he gets it.

If we assemble a crummy recruiting class AND finish 13th in the B1G, I will be very disappointed. I think rumblings would be appropriate in that case.
So you do care? Or you mean you could NOT care less?
Very interesting timing for an OV with both Oscar and Walker committing on Saturday while Timme is on OV.
Looking like Timme is now priority number 1.
BU landing Timme... now that is a game changer.

So it’s looking like we’re going onto next repeat rinse repeat
I would not concede Terrence Shannon yet.
Biggest visit of the year? I wonder if he will have a workout at Ubben that's open to the public?

Don’t you think Timme was a top priority all along? He fits the system and is a position of need.
I think Indy's implication is not that Timme was not a priority but since Oscat T and Walker are announcing while he is visiting, they are not likely coming here. Thus, Timme (who was a priority along with them) becomes priority number 1.
