[Indy Illini Fan]

Some recruiting news. Oscar having Zooms with Miami and NC State tonight.

Zooming with UK and Illinois tomorrow.

Tennessee, WKU and Memphis trying to set up Zooms as well.

Still don’t think he’s coming but anything can happen.

Was able to talk with a staff source, they are under the impression that Oscar is down to 4 schools and will decide between Miami, NC State, Illinois, and Kentucky.

As stated earlier, Miami and NC State Zoom with him tonight. With Illinois and UK to follow tomorrow. With UK getting the last zoom late tomorrow night.

But no legit shot bc QC says there is one right people? Geez. I should just copy and paste my football thread post. If you don't like what is said then ignore it. Recruiting
...especially in basketball...is VERY FLUID. People will be wrong. OUR OWN STAFF HAS BEEN WRONG.

So who did QC used to be here? Is that you Second and Chalmers? I seen that post before it was deleted.

I think folks have issues with the delivery, not necessarily the message(s). Whatever. Cheap entertainment has value.

Interesting. If he transfers here I assumed huggins and underwood talked and its a good fit. I'd be excited.

I loved him in HS. Kid has a lot of talent. Sometimes a hiccup really benefits one. Not going to get too excited yet, but if he decides to play for us, then hell, yeah!

Yea, but even that... It's like your bestfriend dumps the girl you like. He tells you she's a handful, but if you want to go after her, she's all yours.

Are the red flags gonna stop you?

Delivery is what it is. Whatever form it comes in I appreciate the info from QC, Indy, 0440, etc. I'd rather read that stuff then have to read people complaining about it. Heck I wouldn't even wanna read what I am writing out now. It is not news or a discussion about illini basketball recruiting. So let's get back to recruiting and talking about recruits and Illini basketball instead of judging posters info yah?

Would Oscar be available this season? Sorry if this has been mentioned earlier I haven't been able to find it.

 

[thedrunkreferee]

Dang, I was just staring to think we might have a shot at him. Now I’m worried if it’s not a Tuesday with High Tide after a Blue moon on the weekend, he’ll go somewhere else.

I thought the high tide also has to take place on a weekend....

Nah. He could practice but could not play till next season I'm pretty sure.

No. Would not be eligible to play this season. Would sit the spring semester, while still with the team and be eligible next year.

The allure of Kentucky can’t be what it was a few years ago..

One of my favorite highlight tapes I’ve seen since I started following recruiting heavily. I definitely think most around here preferred him to Kofi at the time.

Kentucky is still pumping out NBA superstars, which in the end is the most important thing for these kids.

 

[CasualObserver05]

I wonder if Kofi will be apart of the Zoom call? BIG freshman of the year followed by NBA Draft the next year.
