What is supposed to happen Wednesday ?
Brief diversion of topic. For some of the old guard around here, how in the heck did Henson pull Derek Harper out of Florida when he did? The Illini were terrible in those days

The infatuation Illini fans have with Chastain is really interesting. This kid does not have a single offer from a power 5 team in the Midwest. His offer list is very telling.
In all fairness to him, he was hidden on a 1A team, and missed summer play last year due to injury... so he has been under the radar. But you are right, he looks to me like a very good outside shooter who could find a spot as a 6'6" off guard in college, but likely not at the Big10 level.... He does handle the ball pretty well, but needs a lot of weight and strength to look like a high level college player. If he played 3 or 4A H.S. ball I suspect he would be seen a good shooter... But not get a lot of attention otherwise. But who knows?
Might develop into the next Larry Byrd in a couple of years, might sit the bench in the Ohio Valley.
Larry Bird with better hair.
Larry Bird with a better jumpshot.
Perhaps the telling part is that recruiting has largely evolved to AAU monitoring and there probably is a seam that enables talented kids to be overlooked...and also allow teams to get a steal.The infatuation Illini fans have with Chastain is really interesting.

So who has the better jump shot, Chastain or Bird? Or should my sarcasm meter be turned on?
Chastain, I would say, is quicker, and has better elevation. An all around better player. Then again, Bird is about 62 years old, so........

Perhaps. It is possible that he's the next Ron Baker. The odds are heavily against it, though. I just find the subset of board members who think themselves better talent evaluators than college coaches to be amusing. The people who insist that Chastain has more athleticism than anyone on Illinois' current roster are particularly ludicrous.
