Starts tonight. Hope https://twitter.com/UIHoopsRecruits is following a lot of twitter accounts.
Jayhawk Finale also starts tonight. BBE will be there. Scott Burgess tweeting from that one.
And nothing to watch online.

Not sold on Conditt, eh ?
Still think he is more like Barkley.
Not just yet. Still holding out that we hired Antigua for a reason. That would be DeSousa or Sow. Sow starts scheduling visits next week. I bet we get one.!!
Visit maybe, commit, no. Maybe next year, we still have to win. We get on map, then they will come.

I agree.. You can hope to recruit nationally w/ a coach at a new program with an assistant who's never coached with him and you might have some modicum of success but your pitch is a lot stronger after winning some games with him.
It's essentially like being a salesman pitching a product he's never tried and the guy you're pitching it to can look that up.

I don't have hope for DeSousa but would gladly take Sow and Conditt- especially if Conditt could redshirt a year
Obviously DeSousa would be a homerun get though

Why is it that some struggling programs can start landing impact recruits right away under new leadership, but Illinois has a "we have to win first" caveat? It's an oft-repeated trope across the Illini message boards.
Now I'm not expecting to start pulling elite talent from all over the country overnight by any means, but plenty of coaches hit the ground running at places with less to offer than Illinois.

I agree. No doubt winning helps, but a good salesman can get it done before winning big.
And you're right -- there are plenty of examples of coaching staffs attracting big-time recruits w/o having a winning program to sell.
I'm glad our staff doesn't have the "poor me" attitude that some posters here do.
I dont think we need big time recruits. We need hungry players that fit our system well.

Big time recruits will get us to where we want a lot more quickly

Anyone else staying up late watching Zion vs BBB? Haven't learned much that I didn't already know about the two. Zion can't shoot, constantly missing free throws and jump shots but is a freak athlete. Lamelo shoots from anywhere, passes rarely, and plays defense even less

This says everything about Lamelo & more so about Lavar.

Looks like you can rewatch it if you're in the mood for being gobsmacked. Never saw such a thing in AAU ball, and very rarely anywhere else. LeVar Ball is the Phineas Barnum of our time.
