Reggie Rankin on ESPNU (halftime of Melo-MOKAN game) saying Trent Frazier should be in ESPN Top 100 when they redo the rankings.

Any chance we see a Scruggs visit before Frazier takes his?

In May, the word from his 'camp' was essentially: Why would Justin or anyone consider UI? What's UI got going for it?The Justin Smith recruitment has been interesting. Sounded like he was very interested at first, and then couple months later no interest at all and now maybe back to interested?? I usually have a good idea or good guess where guys will go...Smith....no clue. Anyone with info on him??
Speaking of Scruggs, just as I "jump" off the Scruggs train, it's announced that Groce is at his UAA game tonight. Maybe I'm gun shy after my Simpson love affair.
This is huge. It is sort of a departure from the Frazier & Scout love affair. Now if Rivals will concur too.
I'm curious why you think this is huge? Sure, this makes our class look better and I know the recruits appreciate the rankings, but I think the consensus here is that we would have been happy with his commitment even if he was outside the top 100.
I guess it just means we arent all being homers and complaining about how our guys are just underrated and are all diamonds in the rough. Most actually correctly backed Groce's evaluation of the talent.

The kid is stepping up and is having a strong finish to his summer. The questions and concerns about whatever was going on in Spring when he was not playing and then quit his team, and the lack of very much other high D1 interest seem to be being answered.
Good for him, and glad we could be getting a kid that appears that he can contribute at this level.
And yeah, rankings do matter as they are derived from how well you do versus others you will play against at the next level.
I am glad he looks to be rising.
Not interested in taking a flyer on kids at this point.
We need talent.
Even if he doesn't add another inch or two to reach that magical 6'8" mark, a strong, hard-nosed 6'6" PF like him can still have a tremendous amount of success and impact at the college level.Switching gears, EJ Liddell looks pretty darn good. Being that he's a Belleville kid, we should have an excellent shot. That we're in very early is another plus. 6' 6" 225 as a frosh, should hit 6' 8" easily. Any first hand reports will be appreciated.

Probably don't have to wonder too long how interested Smith is in Illinois. Sounds like he will list a top 10 anyway.

Yeah,we probably make the top 10, but unfortunately I don't see a scholarship open if we take Goodwin, Frazier and a Big(Kiir, Epperson, Uyaelunmo or John). ISame probably holds true for Eastern, too.
No ships for 2 in state top 75 players.:frustrated:
It isn't like they never had the opportunity to jump onboard.
Haha, I forgot all ships are first come first serve and all are commitable.
