Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

How long are we thinking until we hear more about the guys invited to the G-League camp? I'm sure they will go through the process no matter what but is it possible some of them just skip it since it won't lead to the draft?

Most important to IL basketball (and I'm sure at the top of Brad's mind): Have we figured out which power 5 8th place team is most relevant yet?
I personally think Florida State is more relevant than either SJU or USC

I think maybe it’s 18-19 Illinois. Kind of quick to have such an overdeveloped superiority complex, no?Most important to IL basketball (and I'm sure at the top of Brad's mind): Have we figured out which power 5 8th place team is most relevant yet?

Fake it to make it.
A couple UNC Twits I follow sure seem confident that Matt Mayer is theirs if he pulls out of the NBA Draft. It feels like a battle between IL and Carolina if that happens. I'd put my money on the Heels mostly because they'll likely offer more NIL $$$. But that shouldn't be too big of a deal. I think IL leads by a wide margin for Pete Nance. Just gotta hope his bloodlines don't keep him in the draft.

It’s always seemed that Mayer was UNC’s to lose

Cosign this entire post. Don’t worry about Nance staying in the draft
Didn't one of our 'insiders' say like 2 months ago when we were going back and forth about TSJ that we would be getting a transfer from the Big 12 and also from a Big 10 who had put his name in the draft but hadn't even announced his intensions to transfer?
I suppose it's possible, but I have no idea why someone would skip it. You get exposure to scouts and executives. A few attendees will get invited to the NBA camp, which could lead to getting drafted. At minimum, you get run in some extremely high level pickup games. The speed of the pro game is the first thing players have to get used to. This will give them a taste of what it will be like. The only risk is injury, and that could happen working out with your college teammates.

We have, by far, the best record in the Big Ten over the last three seasons, and we are the CURRENT Big Ten champions. It’s not to soon for our fans to have a bit of swagger, and it’s WAY past time for our fans to stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It's actually not out of place in Northern Michigan/WI/MN either. Though I don't believe that UMN-Duluth, UW-Superior, or Michigan Tech has a shot at Mayer.No offense at all to our Southern Illinois hillbillies, but maybe his mullet is better suited for the Carolinas.
Brock Harding is a PG here the in the Quad Cities from Moline High School. He holds some good Mid Major offers as of now, but seems to continue to gain steam through the AAU Circuit. Is our staff interested in him at all? Seems to be very Curbeloesq, but better shooter IMO.
Rumor says Nance coming back. If he does not withdraw, he goes to G League. I suppose we need to offer him something better than G League salary.

Nice article by SR. It's great that Tyler is able to work with his dad and develop some coaching chops.
What about offending us central Illinois hillbillies?Although I’m 3/4 bald I still think it would be a good look.No offense at all to our Southern Illinois hillbillies, but maybe his mullet is better suited for the Carolinas.
