Sexual innuendo and gif-o-Rama.

This thread is PEAK Loyalty today.

Well done all.

Embiid and Jokic are the closest thing to Kofi size while being really good shooters. The Dirk/KAT types are leaner. Kofi's absolute ceiling would be like if he could be a Steven Adams type. Mis-era'd Kevin Duckworth is probably more likely though.
Obligatory Obi-Wan Scout-obi gif incoming...

Cant say I enjoy Pru’s gifs or much of his content period. This is a recruiting thread, not a bad trip

Pru is a beloved member of the community and brings a bit of fun to the board. You're always free to block him and anyone else that doesn't suit your fancy, though. Trust me, I've blocked my fair share of killjoys and curmudgeons over the years.

Has there ever been a player of Kofi's size and strength that can shoot 40%+ from the arc and 88% from the FF linve? Can't think of any right away. If there are any srs. in HS or the portal that fit the bill...I want all of them. IF they have handles and a 30 in vertical, you can likely pencil them in the starting lineup...maybe.

My eye for talent is unique.
Centers Karl Anthony Towns 41% Jokic 34% , Embid 37% , Vucevic 31%

Rare breed in NBA as well

Personally I really like the gifs, especially Pru's. I really, really do. I'm just gif illiterate on how to find them and post them.
If you want to join the giffing party it’s pretty easy actually. When you create a post, click on the word “GIF” and then start typing in some keywords. Some suggestions will pop up and you just click on one (you can scroll down to your hearts content too). The only part that’s not as obvious is that you have to close the GIF box to get out so you can see if it worked before posting.

I am sorry to quote you here instead of the message you quoted but that was real dumb. Even if they said it to somebody, it would not be in public.
Don’t think he was really asking a question. It was rhetorical.

Pru is probably a stand up guy. Have Dan make a Gif thread. Idc. But when I’m here for recruiting news, I don’t want to have to sift through 6 pages of gifs. My opinion means squat, though. And this is a free country

Actually, between his gummies and NL's 1/2/3, I'm guessing he's more of a reclining guy.

Great now we will have even more and less recruiting info!

Are we even looking at a veteran ball handler still? I recall several names initially but many have committed. I'm sure the staff is always looking but any names?
Is a good question. I didn't see Illinois listed in the news as pursuing anyone of note. Just perused a big list of them. Of the top ones left ... they have either committed elsewhere, are still deciding, committed to the portal process fairly recently, or are in the NBA draft process. Some have had news leaked of top candidate schools, whether they are in portal or should reenter the portal by June 1st. Keep in mind that if Illinois is not listed as a possibility with those particular players, it very well may be because Illinois is not interested.

Of the Top 40 players at 247, as for PG's and SG's, I have heard no news-reported news concerning contact by either player or school for Malachi Smith, Teddy Allen (listed as guard or SF), AJ Green, Patrick Baldwin Jr, or Grant Sherfield.

So then bookmark the insiders’ profile pages and only check those from now on. Easy peasy.

So the thing is you're asking others to change how they enjoy interacting with this board when you have a number of options you could employ that wouldn't prevent others from their own enjoyment. For example:

1. Big, acutal news gets posted by Dan on the homepage. Maybe check in there first to see if there's actual news.

2. You can follow the insiders you mentioned so you see when they post.

3. Block frequent giffers so you don't have to scroll through their gifs.

Maybe try some combination of those options to see if they improve your experience.
