Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (Week of April 5th, 2021)

[trtl]

Pretty likely Damonte is back too, tight?

Damonte’s back is too tight? At least he has all off-season to recuperate.

 

[skyIdub]

I am sure you are not the only one, but 26 of us are 95% sure what he is referring to....

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Frazier coming back is going to require me to deep-dive into the scholarship grid thread.

And just like that.... we went from playing walk-ons to "where do we find minutes for all those guys" next year

 

[LvilleILL]

This could be a very good week for Illinois Basketball

He doesn't affect our scholarship numbers though?

 

[Joel Goodson]

nope, super seniors don't count

If we really do have an amazing week, then maybe you could say . . . the reports of our death were greatly exaggerated?

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

You guys better get used to seeing this...

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

This staff:

ofc.....everyone was devastated after the Loyola loss. But that was just the start of the next few years of Illinois basketball. Underwood and staff will have us contending for top NCAA seeds for years to come, next year is going to be fun

Just plug in the lineup that beat michigan this year (minus miller but he’s staying bc everyone else is apparently)

 

[CurbeloYourEnthusiasm]

Trent and Monte scholarships don't count, right?

Nothing on college basketball, but football is:

• If the school is able to fund the maximum number of scholarships it can for the 2021-22 school year, they could have 110 athletes on scholarships. That means 25 returning seniors and 85 others.

 

[Ubermensch]

Bad news.

 

[westcoastillini]

Bad news.

Now what??

 

[OldYeller]

You guys better get used to seeing this...

If I had to guess....Trent is back, Podz is official and Miller is coming back too. And maybe DMW and Mitchell too. DM if I’m right Indy

 

[Oranges]

I’m curious if we still have any interest in Plummer if Trent and Miller both end up back here along with Podz

 

[altenberger22]

Trent back. Podz likely. Damonte likely back. Miller possibly. Kofi possibly. Would love to see Tre Mitchell as another big.

Does all of this seemly put us out on TyTy?

This is pretty much the MLB equivalent of......

"If the Cubs were to trade for Ronald Acuna, and with Juan Soto also likely, Cody Bellinger possibly, and Shane Bieber possibly. Would love to then see Jed Hoyer go all-in on Fernando Tatis, Jr.

Does all of this put us out on Mike Trout?"

 

[BigMuddyMonster]

Underwood is mighty fond of lefty shooting guards.

 

[Ga65]

Wasn’t surprised to see Zakharov in the portal from Gonzaga. Just couldn’t get off the bench on a talented roster. Ballo at least got garbage minutes. He’s a large body.

As close to a Kofi replacement as I’ve seen.
