Hope Valtonen commits and makes this a moot point.
I think if Nolley wanted us we would have made his final 2.Maybe he really wanted to come here all along...Would love a Nolley/Elias/THT/ and a Big who would be ready to play. I always thought the 1 kid that we could miss on and not be necessarily hurt on would be Ayo. We are loaded at guard spots (weird right), not saying would not love to have him...but...fluid!
PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEE :hand:Really Jake, you want to get re-engaged with the nutso Illini fanbase by posting stuff like this?

This could turn back into something special for Illinois. Ayo, Landers, Okoro. All in the mix. #Illinois
So does that mean Jerry Meyers CB was right or wrong...does he get partial credit?

got a kick out of this:What's really funny is that Georgia was telling him, that they thought he would be 1 and done? Say What? This kid is NOWEHERE near 1 and done potential.

Maybe he wised up before it was actually to late...kid is good, really good, not 1 and done, # 8 draft pick good.
Hope He commits to us by the end of day
I think you have to put the full-court press on Valtonen and hope he likes the system, campus, players, and coaches. Nolley has way too much going on. You want a player that believes in and wants to be with your program. He didn't even have Illinois in his top two. The spot has to be Valtonen's if he wants it. Even if Valtonen goes with ASU I wouldn't be too sure about pursuing Nolley. It's hard to get behind a player that indecisive.
To me it's obvious that one of two things happened.
Either Fox is about to be fired, or some school came calling that Nolley couldn't say no too.

Think it had more to do with his parents being unhappy with his choice.
Just from reading their boards last week, the parents seemed to be all about VT. But that's from their boards so take fwiw.
It is pretty easy to see what is going to happen. VT was only school parents visited. UI fans don't get sucked in again. Valtonen is a fine player.
