Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Yep, with Clark & Shannon, we’d have 9 players in the top 109.

Feel bad for Hutch. Dude played in like 3 games for us over 3 years.

Hutch’s practice reports almost reach Alex legion levels. He left a legacy.

All im saying is if the Skyy commit does happen, the first .gif that gets posted better be the “it’s happening” one. Saw it too many times in my years and have it backfire.

Talk about being loaded with talent top to bottom... for reference... I believe that when Ayo committed he was the only top-100 player in the program. Then, when Kofi committed it was just those 2. Just a crazy influx of talent over a short period of time.

Agreed, awesome turn around in recruiting. Mark Smith was 79, then Miller and Curbelo were also 33 and 47 as well just for reference.

Did not expect anyone to catch that. Bravo

Does Grandi need to formally depart for any TSJ movement?

View attachment 17086Happy opening day/commitment day!

It's also National Beer Day. Coincidence?

No

Not fair. Hutch never saw the floor due to bad luck on the injury front. Legion saw the floor and stunk it up in his game minutes.

Kofi comes back and TSJ committing would probably make this a top 3 all time talented Illinois team on paper. Feel free to debate lol

We said the same thing before this year…

 

[NarrowJ]

Feel free to debate lol

That's exactly what I need to do, is rope myself into another 9 page sidebar discussion like yesterday LOL.

So I might be the one that does not get it. Shannon just finished his third year and averaged 10.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists. 38% from three. We except similar and are excited or think he will do better than at Tech?

Yep

Are you suggesting those numbers are bad?

Also …

Since you had already boomed Skyy eons ago..........is this Boom referring to something else we have been waiting for? Say, a Kofi staying announcement, thus, a TSJ announcement to follow?

Taylor would be a virtually perfect replacement for TSJ. Would vault our recruiting to a new level too.

J.J Taylor has issues right now that will prevent him from going to college

His role at TT wasn't ideal for his skillset, and I think that's a decent part of why he's leaving. He filled a role. His stats don't bear out the talent he'll bring to whatever team he plays for next season.

I thought Donda sorted out the accreditation issue?

Or defense, length, athleticism don’t factor into anything.

 

[BashCtIllini]

a little too sacrilegious for my tastes. Ironically Providence wasn't a bad fit.

Those are great numbers. Also consider he had a few injuries that really disrupted his season.

Also as others have said, is that not a really good stat line? This isn’t a transfer from some mid major high usage guy. 95% of teams in the country could use a guy like TSJ.
