Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (October 2016)

Couldn't say who is likely to stick at this point, but my wishlist is Carte'are Gordon & Ramey. I'd be ecstatic with Ayo but I don't see it happening. Something tells me Ramey might head elsewhere too. Clearly wouldn't be shocked if Tim Finke wants to come aboard.

Well, you can forget about Gordon and Ramey. According to the Kool aid drinkers over on slu billikens boards Gordon is ready to commit to them and most likely Ramey will follow!! Don't you know Ford is gonna have them in the Final 4 in a couple years

Ford is selling Ramey the SG position.
:thumb: hahaha
looks like Alex is 1 for 1 on CBs....only Justin Smith with 2 pending predictions, pretty small sample size or am I missing something

Well, that is this year only. Overall, he has 8/11 in 2014, 7/10 in 2015, and 7/10 in 2016. In those years, he picked correctly for Indiana four of five times.
Sound argument, and would seem likely. But if he really hasn't decided, the most important thing is to get it right. I guess all I'm saying is it wouldn't shock me if he still wasn't decided in time to make a decision at HH. I think he knows it gets awkward if that happens, so I'd place my bet that it's settled sooner than that, but if he decides he needs more time, I'm sure he'll take it.
Justin Smith and family will be @ HH. Plus, 5* PF, Billy Preston plans on attending. Cue the Billy Preston music.
247 Sports Composite=Billy Preston #12.
We can only hope that if he commits to Indiana it truly will "go round in circles."

Wilkes will join them. Would be good music though.
Again with these absolute statements smh. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're really not doing yourself any favors here as far as credibility goes -- and that stands even if you're on the money here.

I'll stop with absolutes. If I ever know anything, which probably won't happen again, I'll keep it to myself.
Also, my source is not from a barbershop.

So you're saying that you know definitively that Wilkes will sign with IU, and that he is misleading us when he is quoted publicly as saying that he hasn't decided yet?

This is going to be a fun couple of days...

Are you hearing something from somewhere or are you just posting cryptic messages to stir up the fanbase?
I feel a lot better about our chances with Wilkes than I did a week ago. The longer this drags out the better.
Is it time for Loyalty after dark?
I really don't want to get my hopes up. I know the second I do, I am going to get kicked in the nuts.

Stirring up the fan base is definitely NOT something I want to do. Indy Orange admittedly got a rise out of me, but thats what makes this even more fun to me! He has the courage to come on here so definitively, it just adds to the intrigue. And then add in the element of everything that I'm hearing (from ppl not drunk on IU cranberry juice)... It's exciting!!
So to answer your question, me saying these next couple days are going to be fun simply meant exactly as it read... It's gonna be fun! no Cryptic message or anything...
Even if we don't get Wilkes, and the chances of that are much greater than the chances of him attending the UofI... We have a weekend of Kigab, Kiir on the fence, and then Wilkes! This is the most exciting time recruiting wise since 2014, for me at least.
and what makes it so much better is all the rumors & garbage flyin' around one state over... the suspense is gonna kill me!!
I'm just so glad to see our Beloved back in a barn-burner in the final 3 for a 5* top 20 recruit! It's awesome! Kudos to the staff and the Athletic Department for all the hard work! This time however, my belief is that its time for us to really reap some of the fruits of our labors, & get the program back to National prominence!

I miss Loyalty After Dark so much. Even though it was complete ridiculousness, I consider that to be peak Loyalty.
It really was the golden age of the board. Having 30 pages of loyalty to skim every night was a dream.

I actually enjoy reading both Indy Orange and your post.
While both opinions are based on pure speculation your passion is appreciated and respected.
Does John Groce have another surprise for Illinois with this recruiting class ?
I would say absolutely he does.
