Who is Jamario Scott?
Having a real hard time filling out this class. It's a little surprising.
If I'm hearing you correctly, I think you're saying our team's future success will beThat’s what it’s going to take! That and a focused, concentrated strategy, preparation, and extreme intelligence and then using and executing that extremely intelligent strategy effectively...
I think we have an opportunity still to put this god forsaken recruiting season behind us and leave it in the past for good...
And a 100% reason to remember the name!If I'm hearing you correctly, I think you're saying our team's future success will be
Ten percent luck
Twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Plus a few other things.
That about right?
If you don’t think BU has factored in the fact that players can get immediate playing time after a transfer, you’re sadly mistaken. The program is going to get a ton of positive exposure this year and players wanting to transfer are going to see a great opportunity here. An excellent core group with several openings to fill. In Brad, I trust!!!I think we have an opportunity still to put this god forsaken recruiting season behind us and leave it in the past for good...
Lol but Mug, that sounds about right
I just don’t know if the average Illini fan who follows recruiting around here can see it right now because we seem to just keep taking loses...
But that’s all a part of the process. Fortunately BU has been pretty darn good about filling out his classes and landing headliners each year...
Im still hopeful this will produce the same
What I'm going to say relates to recruiting, because I personally think it is fair to assume that Giorgi as our starting center isn't good enough for Illinois to remain a top 10 team, so we need to get a good enough big man.If you don’t think BU has factored in the fact that players can get immediate playing time after a transfer, you’re sadly mistaken.

I think people are selling him short, and I don't know why. Yes, he had a rough Sophomore year, but he had to switch positions and adjust...What I'm going to say relates to recruiting, because I personally think it is fair to assume that Giorgi as our starting center isn't good enough for Illinois to remain a top 10 team, so we need to get a good enough big man.
With that being said, I've questioned this before, how crazy is it that we have likely seen Giorgi's best season, as an unheralded FRESHMAN. Crazy to think he maybe won't be a starter again.
Obviously, I hope for the best for a great teammate and ambassador of our program!

Our recruiting losses this year have been brutal, but we should be able to clean up in the transfer market. Hoping to close on Mac and Cardet too.
No way is our staff going to blow recruiting like Bubbles did after our title run.
Yeah. Ideally he doesn't need to get the kind of usage he did his freshman year, but hopefully his best basketball is still in front of him. I certainly believe it is.I guess it depends what you mean by “best” season. Because of the talent level on that team and the improvement in subsequent years, his freshman year might end up as his statistical best But that’s not to say this year or next might not be better overall even if his stats aren’t. All I know is that he is still an important piece of this team and damn fun to root for.
I think GB knows and understands his role. Last year he never understood and struggled. Now I see a guy who will take what is given to him and excel.I think people are selling him short, and I don't know why. Yes, he had a rough Sophomore year, but he had to switch positions and adjust...
Our issue when Giorgi was our starting center came from our guards not stopping people from getting to the paint. We're way more defensively sound and have length now. I'm hopeful we can pick up some solid depth at Center obviously, but I'm bullish on Giorgi.
Oh nooo. I'm so sorry. It's sand. The correct answer is sand.It takes grit, grind, and Stick-to-itiveness
Bubbles was distracted....
Fire up the dancing Weber gif! The all time greatest!
