Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2021)

[Oranges]

So Kofi has not made up his mind, and I was told he played a role in recruiting this kid to possibly come play with him at school. Take that as you will, but this is a huge commitment.

I believe I read on here awhile ago Kofi played a role in recruiting Boakye

So someone who can play WITH Kofi. And singular "kid" as in not a package deal, multiple commits situation. Gotta love the recruiting thread.

Does overcast count?

I could imagine a team with Kofi + Giorgi + Boakye making it out of the first weekend.

Wow!!

Nevermind. He can get a release, with Oltzelberger (their head coach) leaving.

I've read that Kevin Kruger (former Asst. Coach elevated to Head at UNLV) was the lead recruiter on Kaluma and has a good relationship, but who knows.

Yeah, I'm sure UNLV wants him. Thing is, if Kaluma wants out, they have to release him.

If we actually land Enoch (I just knocked on every piece of wood near me, fyi) that would be the best schadenfreude I could possibly think of to pay back Izzo for trying to demolish our players.

In fairness, our reasons for not making it out of the first weekend are in no way related to our personnel not being skilled enough. It's a lot more to do with game planning and execution. One team executed those much better than the other.

Not that it matters but does Enoch have a jumpshot?

I mean, it doesn't not matter.

Happy Birthday to us....

So, a commitment and a re-class. From a 5 star big. From a former Eye-zo commit. Pretty good.

Reclass?! That's even better.

More talent, more better.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Ok folks. The game is on.

 

[TheGMan]

If he is reclassifying, when is the earliest that he could sign, hypothetically?
