Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

It demonstrates the need to recruit multiple lead guard options. A team that started 15-0 finished 19-11 largely because there was only one.

True dat. Not a position where you can just play anyone in, even if he’s a talented player. Evidence Mark Smith in ‘79, Sergio McLean late 90s. This last year, we had to try Plummer and DMW there and it wasn’t pretty.
I had a dream last night, and Pete Nance was in it. He said, why are there so many naked women around here? I said, don't worry about it Pete.
In retrospect, I should have asked for a recruiting scoop.

So all we need to do is just sit our critical/injury-prone players for the game after we play OSU and we're good, right? Or is it for the OSU game?
It helps us understand the significant strides made in the repair of knee injuries. We all feel better about Skyy’s injury having lived through the Lanter years!!!
I have a pair of those shorts!!!
Maybe against Sparty?

It’s about time we have 2005 era throwbacks. If we already have our current white and orange throwbacks this set could make a lot of sense.
Me too.
There are other threads to do that though, right?

See, this is exactly why historical digressions within the recruiting thread are crucial.
Lanter was injured at Wisconsin playing in the old Fieldhouse, which to this day still abuts the south end zone of Camp Randall Stadium. Because there's no prospect of the Illini playing there we can chill about both OSU at home and Wisconsin on the road. The lighting is much better at the Kohl Center, they don't have those holes in the roof that let snow into the rafters of the Fieldhouse, etc... I mean, Kohl is a nightmare, of course, but it's no Fieldhouse, which was really akin to the Illini playing in one of the Round Barns on St. Mary's Road.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
It absolutely does not.
I missed that part.
I wish we would have had those two guys with Kofi. Lol
Thankfully, I did not. The pool at 1st and Daniel was pretty wild back in '05. I think that was when AB introduced the Busch Light "cube" for like $12.99!
A few questions: Where did Nance go to high school? I assume that he, like other players in the portal, has an agent. I also assume his agent will be part (NIL) of the recruiting process, probably more so than the NCAA likes? I assume our collective of deep pocketed alums will work with that agent? Any help appreciated; I'm working on an article. Finally, what are our odds with Nance? Would you say 50-50?
It will help our new players and recruits identify their potential place in our history.
He went to Revere high school in Richfield, Ohio and his agent is from Priority Sports which is based in Chicago. As for the odds of getting him, 10-20% maybe and new things would have to play out probably for him to come to Illinois.
