Twitter follows never a good idea to predict recruits but always interesting. Liddell follows: Isaiah Williams, Illini Basketball, Ryan Evan, The Champaign Room, Derek Piper, Writing Illini, Scott Richey, Patrick Schulte, J.Werner, Marcus Liberty, J.Walker. He's definately interested in what the illini are up to at least 😁😁 PS: I'm super bored during a rain delay
Who does he follow with tOSU connections?

Such a good movie. Tragic it came out the same award year as Forrest Gump.

How does she play ball with those nails?

They likely come off in season, but you'd be surprised how well one adapts to acrylics. Handling a basketball is likely a lot easier than anything else when she has them on.

I feel like a lot of people are criminally underrating Shannon because his shot isn't pretty. He can do a little bit of everything, I love everything about his game.

- Freak Athlete
- Good ball handler
- Good passer
- Can score inside and out
- Good defender

I think it is a numbers games. The gap between Tevian Jones and Shannon is much smaller than the gap between EJ and all of out PF. So people care work about a PF.

Yeah, this is a good point. The ugly jumper is very visible in a highlight video of Shannon, whereas Tevian's purported difficulty guarding people is not.

Both *can* be improved with practice and development, but both will be very limiting if not.

But Tevian got a deserved amount of hype around here, and Shannon is an even better prospect. Come on down, dude.
