I cannot believe we are a full 30 minutes into the Mark Smith era and no one has posted that annoying Ron Paul GIF.

By definition, there are no annoying GIFs of the good doctor. All GIFs are for peace and prosperity, such as what BU has just delivered to us this evening.

Great signing for the Illini. They won a battle with the blue bloods. Now it's time to sign a big to top off the year.

Trent Frazier says it all-

The best freshman backcourt in NCAA basketball 2017-2018.

Can't wait to see this product delivered to the Big Ten next season. This should be fun!!

All of our guards do need to have a target to throw the ball to. Are we sure Mav is not coming back next season?

Ok dumb question maybe, but is Smith probably a 5 star?
Yes, I've been drinking orange cool aid...

Is there a recorded video of the Smith announcement? After he said "I want to go to a school with great academics and tradition and be a part of the guys that bring it back" I lost it and ran around my apartment. Would like to see the remainder of the announcement somehow.

Anyone have an informed opinion on chances of Tilmon coming to Illinois now that Smith is aboard?

Well, sorry that I missed seeing the announcement live...was in a car on the way to the airport (in case anyone cares).

Has anyone posted that this is big?

Sidenote: Am I the only one who thinks we should make a GIF thread during an important moment such as landing a recruit??? Just a thought :D

I woke up last night to that same far off rumble, an uneasiness


Keeps getting louder...


Illinois recruiting momentum !

Yes with out a doubt Smith can do it all a 5 tool player and game changer
I have not taken a peek at any of Mark's videos. Just relying on the expertise of all you commenters about his bball prowess. So I am now in extreme curious mode until the season starts.
