Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

I just hope it’s a package deal with Marsha

Isn't all pizza... breakfast pizza?

Cold pizza is breakfast pizza. Preferable thick crust cold pizza. With warm beer.

 

[Illini808]

I think the message was that he wants to go to Iowa State

thank you

 

[Future Walk-On]

AJ Green from UNI just entered the portal. Would be a solid option at the 2 guard if he's willing to take a reduced role. I don't know how he is defensively, but I think he would fit that "shooter" role we crave.

As his fantasy owner for 4 years, I would take him. Regardless of his flaws.
I think going pro somewhere or following his dad to Iowa St have to be like -30000 in Vegas right now.

Has bryce hopkins committed yet? We should def be more interested with Kofi leaving.

Name checks out.

Three front court names to watch: Efton Reid, Manny Bates, and Pete Nance. As for guards I would say Ramey or Jones would be the two most likely as of right now

 

[LvilleILL]

Also, there is one kid in the big ten that could come back from the draft and enter the portal. We would be a major player if this happens

I'm not fond of posters who use players on the roster as a punchline in their sarcastic smarmy jokes. Now get off my lawn.

I'm not fond of this poster.

I am fond of David Jones...the basketball player in the portal...platonically.

Would be sweet to land Reid or Nance

Reid and Jones are the ones I'd put my money on. Ramey is still up in the air, family is really focused on finding the perfect situation for his final year.

Or...(look it up if you have to)

Or…

Of !!!! here we go with the EJ speculation

 

[Dallas336]

Tough, Smart kid. Limited Physically though. Great 6th man to come in for RJ or Coleman

Who do you see as a 3 RJ? Rodgers backing up 4? Harris a 2 or 3?

 

[CV Illini]

Max Christie SZN

Looks like if he withdraws from the draft he will be portal bound

Yes, RJ could play the 2 if you get Jones though.

Max Christie SZN

Doubt it due to our poor relationship with the Wolves program. Would also burn a bridge for the Wolves with Izzo.

I believe Illinois being interested in his younger brother at the moment may not be a coincidence

 

[Champaignheat]

I am hoping you are not correct or it will be long season. Starting 3 freshman not a recipe for success. I sure hope we end up with 2 starters out of the portal.

Worked out pretty well for the Fab Five (man I didn't like that team)!

Max Christie will not wear an Illinois uniform

look at the RJ comment under David Jones post..

According to https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nba...declare-updated-list/r3w4bdlmven4hrbcbyr7zirh

That would be Malaki Branham (stays), Max Christie (maybe), Johnny Davis (stays), Jaden Ivey (stays), Jaden Jones (?), EJ Liddell (stays), Bryce McGowens (stays), Keegan Murray (stays).

Don't think this is a complete list but if it is then Max Christie is my guess.

 

[Illini in OC]

Name checks out.

"Hopkins" is the new "German" (from the old Brumby board)

 

[AnnoyedWithGarza]

Can you share, I can't see it at work.
