Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (May-June 2018)
- Status
Nick Irvin told Piper that Kahlil loves playing with Ayo and he is visiting to see his old Pal. Huge get. Could put the Illini in top of Big with this years class.:thumb: 5 Star Ayo, 5 Star Whitney.
Ayo is a very strong recruitment tool for the Illini. Hopefully, they are emphasizing how much he will help anyone coming to the Illini with his court presence and ball distribution skills. I'd like to see him stay at least 3 years but the Illini may only have him for two seasons. On the flip side, if the Illini don't start getting the guys they want with premier players like Ayo and Trent in the fold, there's big problems in orange and blue land.
I agree with this entirely.
We should see recruiting pick ups in 19. If we are playing add the guy in summer with multiple holes on the roster next year, we have major issues. Just is what it is
Nick Irvin told Piper that Kahlil Whitney loves playing with Ayo. KW's mother lives in Chicago, should be a help in landing him. After this years team shocks the world and goes to the Big Dance, recruiting should pick up. Keep the faith.
Whitney will sign before this year’s team plays a game.

This guy, at this very late date, is manna.

Qualifying certainly is a huge concern.
Slam dunk. No offense necessary, at least now. He'd get significant minutes. Antigua and Underwood should be all over him.
Is there even a reason to think hes been let out of his LOI? I see nothing. Why was his name even brought up?
Because we're that desperate. Shows how low we have sunk....
I haven't heard any feed back on the Kahlil Whitney unofficial visit this weekend. I started looking at the Internet for information, and while I did not get any feedback on the visit, I am cautiously optimistic he will commit to the Illini. He has nothing but praise for Ayo, referring to him as his "big brother," and how Ayo targeted him for passes while they played together and makes everyone a better player.
No I get were awful and desperate and recruiting anyone over 6'7 that has a pulse. However in this case I dont see how we could even be recruiting him considering he signed a LOI and I dont see a reason to believe hes been let out of that.
I don't recall this guy (6'8" 225 lbs) ever signing a LOI either. How desperate are we? Worth a look?
Doesn't really fit underwoods style of play. Plus he would probably be scared to compete with jones and kipper for pt

Hard pass. His name is ridiculous.
Word on the street is, if they are on the MIF, we have first right of refusal. Just wait and see how this starts playing out.
And we will be getting a big soon. Going through the process right now. The admissions office is busy.
Let me tell you something my great grandma used to say, feed the noisiest cattle first, and you will always make the group happy.

Can MIF scoop up a 5 Star big real quick?
Idk. I still can’t figure out if it was worth the tht trade /s
Unfortunately not, but if we have an inside track for Whitney, Shannon and Miller, that makes filling out the rest of our next two classes incredibly easy.
I'll believe that when I see it of course, but Ayo's relatively low-drama recruitment (as starkly opposed to what happened after we had him in the tent :tsk
augurs well.Chin Coleman was an investment. Time to cash in.
The squeekiest wheel comes to mind.
I know this has probably been explained ad nauseum but exactly how do the irvins exert so much control?
No Whitney/Shannon or Miller and the answer is obvious.
