Interesting. New Zealand. 22 or 23 from the little I've read but at this point likely a class of '23?
Homecoming 2019

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Gapare is a legitimate talent. If Illinois somehow lands him, celebrate. He's an NBA player.
This is a great suggestion. Boring through the earth would save hundreds of miles on the trip. Plus Elon could probably set us up with some cool transport options for the family that would make the trip super fast (not sure what their G-force tolerance might be).
So... 10:15 a.m. CT. Seven posts. 5:2 ratio of (GIFS not related to recruiting) : (recruiting items). Business as usual on the Loyalty Recruiting Thread c. mid-May.
Need to keep the ratio up
Watched some film, this kid looks like an absolute stud. Great size/length, elite athlete, solid handle, terror in transition, decent-looking jumper out to 3-point range.
Any shot at him, insiders? Paging @illini0440 @Indy Illini Fan etc.
Shaw's Superlatives: The best of what I saw in April (Adidas & UAA)
May 12, 2022 - On3 National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw spent April watching Adidas and Under Armour Circuits. Here are Shaw's Superlatives
Stock Riser
6-11 C JP EstrellaClass: 2023
Team: Massachusetts based Middlesex Magic
On3 Consensus: NA
Some buzz had started in the Northeast surrounding JP Estrella leading into the April live period. The 6-foot-11 native of Maine was not on any national radar at this time last year. Estrella has excellent length and is explosive with fluid mobility. Still, with upside to go, Estrella is tough around the basket, high-pointing traffic rebounds with two hands and stepping out to knock down catch and shoot threes. There is significant upside here, and look for him to enter On3s 2023 rankings in the next update.
Estrella has blown up since April, more than tripling his offer sheet he entered the month. Watch him during the June and July evaluation periods; more offers could be on the way.

I miss seeing him in an Illini jersey. Wish him nothing but the best. On the bright side, if he's healthy the sky's the limit on his playing time given the mass-exodus of his teammates.

Good God, he's...pretty good.
Plus, he does a mean Haka. I'd flippin' love to incorporate that into our pregame ritual.
