Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2021)

[the juiceman cometh]

You anglers might just be happy on Friday and I'm not talking about a double digit win over Drexel.

ugh, more corny fishing posts.

That said, Bass in the fold gives us a VG start to our '22 class.

That is a carp I believe. We use to go and snag them on Lake Michigan I believe it was by the Edison plant. They would discharge warm water which would bring the carp to the warm water. Oh well. Looks like several people are entering the portal. Penn State losing two. Louisville losing Aiden Ieghon (sp). I thought we went after him for a short period of time. Win the NCAA.

As I read/interpret the Special Covid Rules, a halftime transfer is indeed allowed. However, if he makes an announcement video with Tipton Edits during a first half time-out, we'll know that he's not transferring to Champaign.

If he uses Tipton, we aren't getting him anyway

What's the over/under on Tipton references today?

 

[texillwek]

What better Zoom call could you have with a recruit this week than doing it from Indy, as a #1 seed, being the hottest team in the country? Not much you have to say other than, “ This is what we do. You in”?
God damn it feels good to be saying that about the !!!!!

As always you make perfect sense Indy. But to think that about 3 years ago there were alot of people on here and elsewhere that were calling for Whitman's head. Lots still on here but very quiet now. They thought his hires of Lovie and Underwood were botched. Plus he is nothing more than a Guenther disciple. Whitman might just be the best AD in the BIG right now.

I love Josh Whitman, but he has a long way to go before matching the accomplishments of Gene Smith or Barry Alvarez.

Those people were obviously wrong, but were people really saying that last complaint?? Josh thinks about the big picture INFINITELY better than RG...

 

[Loyalillini10]

wow........

Wow, indeed...

Sounds like a real dumpster fire. Those are all really solid players, too.

 

[Boomauer]

Doesn't appear that Bass is rated very highly in the recruiting services rankings...somewhere around #200+. In the

video I've seen he looks better than that.

If we get Bass, I'm finding another message board after all this waste of a good thread with puns instead of actual recruiting. I can't even imagine what the board will be like for 4 years with him on the team.

This is acute post for sure

I don't know. We got over our Cockburn phase pretty quickly. This board is full of mature, responsible adult posters.

It's not that bad. I suggest you take some time to mullet over.

At least he’s not going in state to Indiana, where he would be a striped Bass.
