St. John’s adds Queens native Coburn to roster - worldnewshere.net
NEW YORK -- St. John's said Friday that Queens native Tareq Coburn will join the roster for the 2021worldnewshere.net
St John’s is a team that’s usually hardly relevant to Illinois, so I’ll take it. I wish AJ well and hope we never play him.
Interesting.... almost like he didn't get the offers he was hoping for. Seems like he had a pretty quiet summer after a fairly strong springStorr commits to St.John's
Best of luck to Mr. Storr. I am more than satisfied with our replacement(s) of Sencire & ReggieInteresting.... almost like he didn't get the offers he was hoping for. Seems like he had a pretty quiet summer after a fairly strong spring
And Epps...Best of luck to Mr. Storr. I am more than satisfied with our replacement(s) of Sencire & Reggie
Not sure what offers he was hoping for, but according to 24/7 timeline prior to decommitting from Illinois his offers were Iona, Chicago St., Austin Peay, IUPUI, Va Tech and Ole Miss. After he picked up offers from LSU, OK, OK St, South Carolina, Iowa, ASU, GCU, Miami, Kansas and St. John’s. So if his goal was to get offers from schools that stacked up better to Illinois in order to make an informed decision rather than just taking best offer that he had, goal achieved. According to TwitterVerse, it sounds like Illini cooled on him (have no idea if true), and if that is only because of decommit possibly he wishes he hadn’t. But I can’t really fault him for wanting to explore other options that weren’t there initially. Wish him the best of luck.Interesting.... almost like he didn't get the offers he was hoping for.

I was here years before this gentleman but worries, there’s room for lots of illiniguy’s in hereI just now realized you guys are not the same person.
I think the decommit was real soon after Orlando/chin left. After the big spring, assumed he was hoping Kentucky would get interested (probably just like any other kid), and with the asst coach connection. But just speculation on my part.Not sure what offers he was hoping for, but according to 24/7 timeline prior to decommitting from Illinois his offers were Iona, Chicago St., Austin Peay, IUPUI, Va Tech and Ole Miss.

Definitely unsure of that. But whatever.upgrades*

Woodcocked again! Disagree with the premise of this article. FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised if our '23 class contains no MIF players. And I'd be very surprised if that class isn't very good.Mac Irvin Fire key for Illini in 2023 (JJ got offered ny North Carolina this week)
Illinois Basketball: Mac Irvin Fire key for the Illini in 2023
Illinois basketball has done a great job of recruiting Mac Irvin Fire players. The AAU program is going to be key for the Illini in 2023.writingillini.com

A team with a strong culture can also withstand a player or two that might not meet the normal mold of the person they want.I agree with this. Brad talks about the culture they have built. I would doubt that they didn't do their homework before offering and then taking Bass.
As far as I am concerned, Bass is an Illini until he isn't and I would guess the coaching staff feels the same. I can't see them running the young man off. What I can see is him seeing them recruit over him and he decides to leave for potentially more playing time. But that is true of every player on our roster.
The only thing sillier than uncommittable offers are unsignable commitmentsReggie wont be here
Question though whether the juice is worth the squeeze. Borderline 5 star probably worth the gamble. I don’t know if there are questions about his attitude per se but seems like Casey is in the “maybe” category despite still being too 50ish. Bass is a 3/4 star borderline top 100 at a position where we have 3 incoming frosh plus another 2022 commit (Harris). Not sure you take a chance on a kid of that skill level given where our program is at.A team with a strong culture can also withstand a player or two that might not meet the normal mold of the person they want.
