Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[FrankNitty30]

To be clear, my point was we will be a much worse team without Kofi next year than if we had Kofi next year - we can still be a better team next year than last year

My point is - this is not "addition by subtraction" which is what the original poster suggested - ala a Jens Kujawa situation

Ok, I can live with that.

 

[LvilleILL]

so should we still be expecting any more news this week or has it been busy enough with ZZ and Kofi? @LvilleILL

we will have a much better idea of what we will look next year by the end of the week imo

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

Why do we keep seeing this take. They don’t play the same position and Bryce Hopkins would be a small 4 right?

This.

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

Because he is totally in love with our fan base lol.

Will be interesting to see how we play without Kofi. May be a lot easier to recruit bigs now that he is gone. Omar may have left a little early?

My guess is what we bring in as a bit of an upgrade.

an upgrade over a 2X All American?

 

[ILLjuice]

Omar was not a 2X All American

 

[drsmitty74]

Omar was not a 2X All American

Read it as an upgrade over Kofi, obviously.

On page 7 of 13 of this thread catching up. How many more times is bryce Hopkins mentioned. I'll await my answer before delving further into this thread for my own psychological and emotional well being.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Sooo Bryce Hopkins is out?

He’s actually the lead to replace Kofi, we’re going to sign Ramey to play the 4 and move Dainja to the point. It’s playing 3D chess, reverse position basketball. Creates mismatches galore.

Lot of players still entering the portal. Brad keeping his powder dry for 3rd wave

My wish list

Upperclassman PG - I like Ramey TX
Upperclassman stretch 4/5 - I like Ben Vander Plus OH

I think Brad holds on scholie back for mid year transfers like Dainja. We lost Mac Ettiene to UCLA because we did not have a ride available mid year

Andrew Slater seems to be insinuating on Twitter that David Jones is likely headed to St John’s

 

[Dbell1981]

Yes

Love RJ but I want guys that welcome competition. Im obviously not tuned in to the program like a lot of you guys. I guess he already has his fill of competition there with Goode and Rodgers.

Well, I think it was obvious that he was a much better player than Damonte by the second half of the season

Damn, yep. Just saw that. He changed his tune quickly on the recruitment. Wonder why Jones wants to play with AC NOW (but not when he was at IL).

Bc at St Johns you can play however you want. Free-for-all ball

Must have been all the times we booed when he touched the ball.

D. Jones seems to be following the Skyy playbook -- he's interested in Illinois and (for a few days any other random schools to defeat tampering allegations).
