Chastain instantly would become our best athlete
Besides that, Chastain wants to go pre-law. We ask too much of our basketball players to have them concerned about getting a real degree. We expect them to be focused on basketball all the time. The kid is not our type.
Too intimidated? LeRoy is about 35 minutes away from Champaign and about 20 minutes away from Bloomington. It's like smack dab in the middle of both cities and I'm sure he's been to both and is used to their size.C'mon Man, Everybody knows that when a kid is from a small high school and the opposition designs the entire defense to stop you, stats can be inflated.
Leroy is too close to Champaign, sort of like Tolono. A small school kid from those places will just be too intimidated by the BIG atmosphere in Champaign. West Lafayette is a lot better place for a small school kid.

I didn't sense any sarcasm in his post. I actually think he means it. Sarcasm is easily detectable in person, than online.I just assume his post was total sarcasm. If not, then.........

Here is a question I have no answer to but maybe one of you do? Can a coach take a player with him on a home visit my example being Malcolm Hill with Coach Groce to Jordan Goodwins parents home? Since he is from the area and always has seemed like a standup guy maybe that would help convince his parents to take a chance on the program. I know this is probably not happening just didn't know if it was within the NCAA rules.
Please help: I just watched a highlight reel for the Chastain kid from Leroy, and I don't understand why we aren't involved/recruiting him. I know it's just a highlight reel, but he looks very athletic, nice shot, plays hard...really looks like a player to me. What am I missing?
Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

He sat out last summer with a meniscus problem -- either torn or otherwise injured. Very Illini-ish.Has Chastain played AAU at all? How did we never hear about him before now? Looks good. Has size, skill, and athleticism. Offer him. I think we'll have room.
Well, no.
Have any B1G schools offered Chastain yet?
Utah is good (a 3 seed in the tourney!) and are Pac12. There were a few MVC schools better than us. I wouldn't say he's below our level... especially considering he's in our backyard.Utah and 4 MVC schools are the biggest.
Not an Illinois level recruit.
Watching the St. Joes vs. Manual game. Rako has Jereme Richmond written all over him.
