Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Declaring?
Name checks out.
Ahhhh! That's got to mean he's going, because otherwise we'd never find out about transfer options. Noooooo.
I thought we said no politics in the recruiting thread!
Yessir. Good players leave eventually. Just the way it is. Good luck to him!
That being said. Would love to see Hopkins at the 4 and Hawkins at the 5.
Central or Eastern time?
Mountain Dew time
We have Dainja. Would love an athletic pogo stick at PF.
Can’t we just put the franchise tag on him?
What???
Hopkins already committed elsewhere

Yep. Interestingly, based on the attached DI article ("Bartow sure Matthews to sign"), during the Bartow era there apparently was no need for insiders, as you could just ask the coach for the latest recruiting update and his outlook. Article also provides recruiting update from one of the assistants at Purdue, another one of the finalists for Audie.
Sure was a different era, presumably before the rules that restrict what coaches can say about recruits before they sign were put in place.
Name still checks out...lol

Hmm is Kofi’s replacement already in the portal?
My take, he's gone because he has always wanted to play in the league.
Unfortunately as understood by most, his game is circa 1987.
If he gets a two way contract in the G league, and the third center on the team takes an elbow in the nose at practice, he gets the call, sits on the end of the bench for a while and never plays a moment in an NBA game.
If he can get more NIL money this year he should take it as it will be the most he makes playing basketball in any given year going forward.
He is a legendary Illini, should have his jersey hoisted and seen as one of our greatest ever. He is a great college basketball player in my estimation, but it is what it is.

No you have not
Indy beat me to it… no need to prove what’s been talked about in PMs or not. Sorry you’re late to the party
My big mistake if I posted this in the wrong thread.
There is nothing wrong about posting anything in this thread.
It is a lawless land of gummy bears and NIL revenue.
