Here's hoping we have another strong recruiting week or two! Anxious to see what the roster looks like on April 30th.

Yep, I know this is the new normal for college hoops, but we can swing anywhere from an exciting young team in a rebuilding year to one of the favorites to win the Big Ten with a few decisions this month. It’s exciting to follow, but I can’t wait until I can just be hyped for next year, knowing who the squad is!

But are you willing to put your reputation on the line for this bold and brazen prognostication?

What do say the Illini chances are, 33%?

I thought someone mentioned converting Lieb's scholarship into an academic one so he doesn't take a bball scholarship or is this not a thing that can happen?

I believe this is under review by our expert review panel in the admissions thread.

So you are saying it could be any of the three he indicated as his final three? Thanks for clearing that up.

Hopkins at the 4 and Coleman the 5?

Would guess 3 man rotation with Dain, Hawk, and Hopkins for the frontcourt.

Can I get the phone number of the presumed widow from that first pic? Not really sure that Doogie was able to save the guy.

Must have listened to Ant last night LOL

RJ put up a video like Coleman on Instagram. Assuming that means he's "officially" back too.

I always viewed the RJ leaving talk as purely an IL narrative. There seemed to be no credible evidence otherwise.

I think it's going to rain tomorrow, but it might also be sunny, or just cloudy.

Discuss.

I wouldn't be surprised if Murray picks Georgetown, Tennesee, or Illinois. Just saying.

Murray announcement time? Not expecting an Illinois commitment but interested in his choice.

Everyone I have talked to is saying it's going to be Georgetown and it has been that way since they hired Nickelberry.

He really liked Tennessee and Illinois but he wants to be the man.

G-Town basically sold him on being the next Aminu. 15 shots a game, and of course some lucrative NIL stuff.

He goes to Georgetown and today will be the last day anyone outside of Georgetown hears his name.

You all need to get out of the Big 10 bubble. Georgetown is still Georgetown...they play in the Big East, play games in MSG and get plenty of national attention regardless of their record.

Aminu Mohammed? If Murray is going to be the next Aminu, who is Aminu going to be? Is he NBA bound?

I have said in another post. Georgetown is fine but old Ewing might lose his job soon. Murray might become the next ace before he becomes the next Aminu.

I don't see Georgetown getting rid of Ewing anytime soon to be honest. Recruiting has been the issue for them, not coaching. They don't have much talent on that roster.

People think this is similar to the Chris Mullin situation at St Johns but Chris had a boatload of talent on the roster that lost to Arizona State in the First Four.

Is this the same Big East they went 0-19 in last year?
