Why did they include a missed dunk in his highlight video...?
According the the Writing Illini article:
The framework is there for a Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook type of player.
Not after Bodies by Fletch™.he ain't gon' be dunkin' on people.

I got to say, I don't think Antigua gets the credit he deserves. Let us keep it in the real, Illinois is not Kentucky. To think he was going to pull that kind of a** here is "Missouri fan" thinking. But look at the major improvement to Black's game from last year. I am assuming Antigua's coaching has something to do with that.
Not critiquing his coaching whatsoever. I think we all saw Leron and Greg this year and improvements that were made throughout the year. However he has yet to show me that he is able to recruit at an elite level.
You can give the “time” excuse, but Chin didn’t exactly have a ton of time to lock Ayo up? and we all know Ayo was never coming here with Groce at the helm so it was strictly Chin and BU.
For as heralded of a recruiter as he is, I expect better than 3 star talent and Matic Vesel.

You obviously don't recall the days when everyone was calling Trent a reach and saying he should redshirt. Then he got on campus and everyone started changing their opinions. I said he probably wouldn't start but he has tools to work with and a good looking shot which on this team will get him on the court. I'll go on record and say he will be a contributor his first year.
Yeah, the Antigua recruiter hype is unwarranted. About as unwarranted as the John Groce hype for supposedly reeling in Oden and Conley and those guys.
The head coach typically seals the deal. For Ohio State, it was always Matta. That's even more the case with UK and Calipari -- the guy is one of the truly legendary recruiters out there who has a special appeal to one-and-done types. He's unapologetic about sending kids to the NBA after one season in school -- in fact, he urges kids to leave early if they're ready. And when you have the backing of UK behind you, that kind of dynamic personality is going to absolutely clean up.
The idea that Antigua was somehow responsible for getting the stud big men that UK got was laughable.
Interesting that he was 46% from 3 in HS, but low 30's in AAU (with presumably more D-1 athletes). If scholarships are limited seems like a pretty big reach for an unranked player, but maybe we'll have more scholarships than expected. Guess time will tell. I like that his dad coaches in the NBA.
I hope he can fill it up from 3 in college at close to 50%, that would be just what the doctor ordered!
Welcome aboard....
