Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[TriangleIL]

You're comparing a Jr Shannon to a Fr. Murray.

I'd personally take Shannon, but don't think the staff agrees.

Isn't it a Shannon Jr?

Illini having interest in transfer centers has me worried Kofi isn't coming back..... Hope I'm wrong.

kofi's back up, im sure the staff explains that role to him

Dainja would be Kofi's back-up ( if Kofi returns). I think the staff is just trying to cover all possibilities. I'll believe Kofi's back when it happens.

I agree.

Shannon and Murray are essentially the same guy. One you get for 3 years, the other for 1. I think that makes the decision pretty easy.

That said, while you can't think this way, if you take Shannon, Murray goes to Georgetown. If you take Murray, Shannon likely goes to Michigan. Which would not be ideal.

Doesn’t Shannon have a year plus one?

 

[Jrose]

Details!!

As long as it doesn’t cause Hawkins, Melendez or Podz to leave!

Most people don't think he will use that last year's eligibility but we will see.

oops, my bad. I'll delete

 

[ChiefIllinois]

Isn't most NIL money attached in some way to the brand of the school as well? Since the school owns the rights to that, it makes sense to me that it would get a cut.

Yeah I get the reasoning behind it. Not trying to inject too much politics but I feel like the players deserve as much as possible and the university makes enough off them already.

Lol that’s not Ayo.

 

[211EastDaniels]

I can't fathom a player averaging 44 points a game for 3 entire seasons without a 3 point line. That's insane.

He tended to take a lot of shots...

 

[Illinijan]

Yes he shot a lot but an incredible offensive player. Way ahead of his time.

 

[hoopsfan47]

He tended to take a lot of shots...

He also tended to MAKE a lot of shots....some he made and not a sole believes he did to this day. His highlight reel is like no other. Had a high school teammate who went to Alabama and played against him several times.

 

[CharliedonSurf]

daily recruiting thread momentum dying down.....

 

[PapaKvells]

Lol that’s not Ayo.

Ayo’s handle is @ayodos_11. The one making the comment is a dude named Ayod Osunmo from Palatine, Illinois. Ayod tells me this happens all the time and he sometimes gets Ayo’s mail.

 

[Brosky]

How about James Brown ??....................get some Motown NIL $$

Are Brown and Johnson primarily post players? Or can they take it out on the perimeter with strong handles, create, and shoot? In short can they both. play the 4?

Tough or bored?

 

[FloridaMan]

Tough or bored?

Kofi posted he was bored during his visit. Just sayin.....

 

[AttentionDeficit]

Murray's probably tired. Wasn't he visiting three schools over 2 days?
