Keeping up with the recruiting thread during portal season
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
I know this...I rushed yesterday to get Illinois for National Champs at +5000 before any more announcements come in and those odds get chopped by 2/3.
What took you so long?
Guess we’d have to call him Dr. Hutch then.
Killing me smalls.
edit - I blame the transfer portal for my original hesitancy
Im almost afraid to beat Auburn for a high flying recruit.
Bruce got his tape recorder ready to try and entrap a 17 year old kid and the ncaa compliance department on speed dial
Are we legitimately looking at Alleyne? Feel like if TSJ is trending the wrong way he’s a good size guard that can shoot. I’m sure Chester already has a relationship as well
The field-goal percentage is a tad concerning unless he's, like, strictly a 3-point shooter.
Yes. Chester is the guy who recruited him to VT.

Since he shoots better from three you forbid him from shooting a 2.

Does he know K is gone?

I wish I could be the coach for a week. Rough math is Underwood making $61,000 a week. Don't get me wrong I'd totally tank the program unintentionally during that week, but I would do it with a smile on my face and a fat wallet.
uhm yeh

I think the difference is, is Alleyne willing to come off the bench?
Yeah that’s a good point.

More of a colloidal suspension.
What I like about him is he shoots FTs at 80%. In BU's scheme, his 2 point % might be higher. I would take him if he wants to come here

Besides this board who would even consider taking a flyer on him?
I like hutch and thought he would be a huge asset last season but he can’t stay healthy. I am not sure if he will ever play again or at the level he used to play.
Haha, I didn’t mean he needs to be strictly a 3PT shooter for us, just that his FG% is less concerning if a majority of his FGA are 3s

I'm serious. If it ain't a dunk I would insist it's a three. Same chance of making a 2 or 3.
Really??
That's an assumption. I expect him to comeback and play well. It may not be here but he has athleticism and size. The medical field has come a long way. He had a sports hernia not a blown ACL. I actually love that he can shoot and has size. He played one or two pre season games but was out leading scorer in the first one and I was very excited about his future here more than some he just got hurt. So many wanted Podz to stay but next year heads up if they played myoney would be on Hutch and not close. If he stays or goes I am fine either way because I think he is a good player that had a bit of bad luck.
