I realize this kid is not on our recruiting radar, but I thought he made a lot of really good passes. Then again, he is 7 feet tall and his 4:13 highlight film did not show a single slam dunk nor any time his hands were even close to the rim. Does he have any vertical at all?

Nice nugget on Bannarbie. Cali kid, here are a couple of clips:

(awesome camerawork)

Pretty intriguing.

Thanks very much for posting...although I have to say, perhaps the second video was shot as some sort of art nouveau project, to "give one the dizzying feel of being up close to the action."

Some of you are drinking way too much orange Kool Aid. Underwood certainly is recruiting better than in his and Illini’s recent past, but we’re not “loaded” with talent yet.

Well, im liking my kool aid. Ill take it over classes with Finkes and Tejon Lucas's all day long. Im comparing our team now to our team that coach inherited, not to Kensucky. We had some talent through the 2010-17 with Malcolm, Black, Nunn, and few others but we are gonna have solid classes 3 years straight for the first time in quite a while if the staff can get Boswell and Taylor. Why do folks always gotta try and calm down the excitement? I mean when is the last time we "cooled" on a top 30 player? Things are looking great through these orange glasses.

We almost always cool on top 30 players right after they cool on us

This is a bold move by the staff. Hope they’re reading it right. Could really blow up in our face if not.

Any chance they're feeling extra good for NIL reasons in addition to previous connections?

If we end up snagging Boswell and JJ Taylor this team will be LOADED with talent! Goode, Podz, and Melendez are gonna be solid by then. Not to mention Epps, Harris, and Rodgers with a year of experience under their belt. Future is just as bright as it was in the early 2000s! Cheers Illini faithful, its been a brutal 15+ years but we are back on the map! Let me add, a senior Coleman Hawkins could be 1 of the best players in the country by then.

Getting Boswell and JJ Taylor will be tough. Taylor playing with Donda makes me think G league or one semester at Kentucky most likely. Boswell is not tall or uber athletic, I see him as a 2-3 year player at college.
