I think what you’re saying is the consensus, but the more I watch and hear the more I think he’s going to surprise us all. I don’t think he’ll have a Trent Frazier type of freshman year, but the guy has range beyond the NBA line, he’s smart, and he somehow found a way to score inside multiple times against a 7’1” MCDAA. I think it’s possible and I think we’d all be satisfied if he came in and carved out a 10 min per game role and was seen as a threat from beyond the arc.

AJ 's shot comes off low, where Griffin has a higher release and trajectory, so easier to get off. I think he'll contribute next year.

IBIWISI. That said, landing Ramey will make me giddy. LOVE his game. Frazier, Ayo, DMW and Ramey would make an utterly lethal backcourt. If we can't get him, anywhere but Miznoz!

Are you sure we have someone there tonight?

Corey Evans tweeted about 4hours ago that Shaka, Martin and Illini assistant were "expected". Piper was there but no mention of Walker so maybe the "expected" didn't happen. Somebody with paid subscription might ask him.

DMW - before he's done here will make us all proud. I love the way he plays.

Ramey finished with 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. He put on a show in front of Missouri coach Cuonzo Martin and Texas skipper Shaka Smart, who were both in to chase the top unsigned senior point guard in the nation. Ramey, who committed to Louisville as a junior only to decommit following the FBI's investigation into the program, has balanced chasing another state championship with keeping an eye open for his collegiate home. It hasn't been easy, even if Ramey makes it appear that way.

“It's a great thing for me. (Having the coaches watch me) shows they believe in me,” Ramey said. “Having them going through a big time in their season with March madness and to have (Smart) fly out to come see me is a huge deal. They know I'm focused on my team right now.”


Getting Ramey would be a big step towards rebirth back in the Illini program....the talent level would be the highest in years and allow us to think about dancing again...

come on down dude and lets get this thing rockin and rollin again..

Color me unimpressed. Was equally unimpressed with Ebo/Vesel. Lets hope I'm wrong ala Ebo.

Offer list is really weak. Maybe its more where we stand as a program but I feel like we should be able to pull more highly touted guys. Maybe we just missed a lot this year.

Anyway, if he can shoot the 3 as well as it appears he can, and his defense is a plus, I'm all for him. Also I believe in what BU sees. Glad to see the staff hitting recruiting hard. Probably not going to influence much next year.

So, should we color you unimpressed or you believe in what BU sees? lol

SAMBA KANE RECLASSIFIED!! For fans of a great school, basic reading comprehension seems a lost art around here.
