Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (April 2020)
- Status
I love the smell of a new recruiting thread in the morning.
Assuming Miller will sign come April 15th......has anyone heard anything as to where and when he will sign....like his home....his high school....morning, afternoon, evening......will it be public....with the shelter in place thing going on .....just wondering because the date is rapidly approaching
It will be the 15th.
Have not heard anything as regards to where.
Wouldn’t be shocked if it was just an instagram live type deal at his home.
Definitely confused. My assumption always was that he was a JR this 19-20 school year, and was reclassifying to be a 2020-21 college freshman (skipping his senior year.) But in actuality, he was originally a 2020 recruit, that was going 5th year prep, thus making him a 21 recruit, but is contemplating becoming a 20 recruit again??5th year prep. But now the rumor is he is reclassfying back to 2020. Confused?
Prep school. Academics.
IHSA age eligibility, He has sit out a HS year due to HS transfer
Was thinking more along the lines of a taller Lebron but that's not a bad guess
Like the size have we ever had a walk on that big
Like the Larry comparison, probably a better shooter though.

He looks like a scrappy, high motor, student of the game. I'm hoping we can expect a lot of hustle out of him and some hard-nosed plays.

This maybe a dumb question but can a preferred walk on receive a redshirt year? I assume they can but don't know if that only applies to scholarship players. The thing that makes me question if they can receive a redshirt is that you never hear of coaches of ever redshirting a walk on. I would think that a coach would always redshirt a walk on just in case of a slight chance that they may develop into someone that could at some point give you valuable minutes.
if 5 years to play 4 eligibility applies (I am not certain) then point would be moot?
the five to play four applies to all players and yes a walkon can sit out a year and get an extra year of eligibility.
I believe LaTulip sat out a year to make himself eligible for a grad transfer? I seem to think the extra year has happened before. Brian Johnson?
Probably better shooter than Larry Bird?????.......Or did I read this wrong???
As far as walk on status we could get some benefit from having this kid. He seems to move well/passes very well/sees other players getting to spots and runs the offense as far as video goes. I think this kid helps us a great deal actually long term.
