Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (October 2017)

So much optimism..........so much nail biting..........

I don’t think he is coming. Maybe it is me just getting my hopes really low, but I just get the sense from reading the tea leaves that he isn’t coming to UofI. Why hold this before THT unless you are going someplace else. I hope I am wrong.

can I assume everyone has a blank screen right now

You're not paying attention! :thumb:

The Nigerian Freak doesn’t have the same ring....

There are plenty of degrees of separation between Ayo and Christine Okoye so I think it’s safe to go with “The Nigerian Nightmare”.

 

[FiveStar]

We could have two Mr. Basketballs and a 25 from Simeon next year

Don't do this to my brain (and heart) please

Hope is a scary thing! But in this case you’re safe

Hopefully with Ayo's commitment to Illinois our days of being burned by top-tier Chicago recruits consistently will come to an end!

 

[mycitymytime]

Well played.

As I said earlier.......he was retweeting all the Wake Forest stuff as a way to give them some love before he broke with them entirely.

I guarantee he wasn't trolling them.

Whatever the case, this is a huge win for this staff. Well done! And welcome to the family, Ayo!!!

 

[doowink]

Good news for a change....think we'll have more of these as we move forward....now we need to translate this into wins and championships

Chin Coleman 1 for 1

Man, our backcourt is going to be *loaded* for the foreseeable future.

 

[FC Illiniman]

Okoro tweeted congrats to AYO

 

[jrichisamazing]

THT next up.

I want you all to think about something. Brad Underwood has probably just landed a MCDAA and back to back Mr Basketball players before coaching his first game here.

I heard that Okoro will be on an OV to Illinois State this week-end. He will be joined with Hargrave ESL High, Chris Payton, and a couple of good young guards. Okoro's guardians are profs at ISU.

wow went to the WF board, that was truly hard to read. Never have minded WF and honestly think of them as a team that should be better than they are. That being said, straight up crazy stuff on that board, so glad ours is much better managed.
