Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
It’s called upgrading your roster…..
McCullar would DEFINITELY help, and yes it creates a log jam, but a "log jam" is just what good teams call "depth"
Joel Goodson
- ties will be resolved
Good for Josh. Definitely a special situation. He made his case and prevailed.

34 pages in one day in the recruiting thread? Peak Loyalty madness! Just for confirmation, though...is it Pete Nance everyone is hoping to get?
I'm usually on here 24/7, but just got off a flight from Vegas wrestling a 3-year old and a 10-month old (both mine) and don't have it in me to read 34 pages of Bryce Hopkins and gifs. I did see that TSJ committed. Any of nuggets of info someone could kindly summarize?
Expect 2 more players coming in, one of them might be Nance from NU. Coleman might transfer. Bryce Hopkins was seen strutting around Green Street.

I think universities do have the right to say that if you get a degree from the University of Illinois, half of your credit has to be earned at the University of Illinois. Otherwise, what’s to distinguish it from a degree from any other school. The University spends a lot of money recruiting professors and making capital investments in order to make a University of Illinois degree mean something.
The academic side is something that definitely needs to be addressed in this new age of free transfers. A lot of kids are going to be losing a lot of earned academic credit that may prevent them from ever earning degrees if it’s not. Underwood said this himself the other day.

I’m going to call my dad too. Except my Dad is a Wisconsin fan, so I’ll be calling to gloat. Good natured in-family rivalries can be a bonding experience too.
I hope we get them twice this year.

Lots of nuggets about eating establishments of days gone past..........scUM admissions suck and the best is the "" Huntie "" baby going off on the Texas Tech coach calling him a coward..........Nice choice of words considering Huntie plays for the biggest coward in college sports........Ducks conference games and sucker slaps other coaches........look in the mirror Huntie baby............you're a big pile of cow dung in a place where cow dung seeps out of the rafters......
Other than that , just another day at the Loyalty board , which is the best ever !!!
Does anyone know if Nance has actually reached out to BU and staff?? or vice versa?? or is this just LAD wishful thinking that he would land here if pulls out of draft. Yes I know he trained with TA when he was younger, but is that the only line connecting the dots at this point?

I don't want to see Hawk leave. Everyone loves the good 4-year development story. He has great upside and unique talent when he's on. With that said, this isn't your mama's college basketball. With the bag grab of NIL and the transfer portal, you can't sit back and slowly rebuild. Need to answer the door when opportunity knocks regardless of who that pushes out. Strike while the iron is hot and build momentum that can last a decade or get caught behind in this new stage of the game.
Brad has always been in Hawk's corner and displayed great positivity on Hawk. The staff has done a tremendous job developing him into a sought after talent. They delivered on their end. All you can do is hope that is enough.

Dan really oughta host a Loyalty-con every year, right around portal time.
Look i am gonna flat out say it, I was bummed when players started leaving but the guys we have coming in, and rumors of others are straight upgrades! Even if Hawkins leaves. Us old schoolers cant help but hope players want to grind their way into a starting position all while building team chemistry with one another but that is not todays reality. The best coaches of today and here on out will be the ones that can mold a new roster together and get them to gel by March. Lets hope Brad has what it takes to mold these young men into a TEAM!
Damn Pru! If I could like this one a million times!
So let me get this right.
7/8 man rotation.

That would be an absolute killer lineup on both ends of the floor. I likey.
Think Epps will see some tick too, Kid is a baller wired to score, Ty is a serious dog and will get some tick.... in my humble opinion. Crazy depth

Rodgers needs minutes
We need to have no less than 9 guys getting double digit minutes. I can see Harris , Epps or Rogers getting 10 minutes a game. It will help in March. We will wear teams down with the depth we will have.

Wow... it has been nearly 32 years and I had forgotten all about the existence of that burger. I read your post and literally began to salivate. Amazing (as GB would observe.)
