Wow, way creepy nostrils.
any update on Nance?
I can see that. I think Skyy is perhaps more skilled but I almost believe Epps is a better 3 point shooter. We shall see.

Actually, all time means as far back as 247's records go. Accurate back to 2010. .
Spotty to 2002. They somehow have Tyler Griffey ranked ahead of Brandon Paul and DJ Richardson in 2009.
They have Deron as our only 2002 recruit.
Also, pretty sure they go by their ranking, not performance.
They have JR as our best all time recruit, their database excludes Dee Brown et al
Why would an ESPN article use any timeline of 247's?
They’re both really good and they’ll both play a lot.

That kids mobility looks terrible, even for a big guy.
Sounds like we are looking international for a big man.
had to be ,,,what,,, his freshman year?
Groce was far more damaging to the Illinois program than Weber. It isn't close.
Seymore Butz, anyone?
That is a great point! And makes me so happy.
Along these lines, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we lost AM and our 3 coaches one year ago and things just keep getting better. At the time, I thought, “Well, that was a short run.”lol that's an understatement imo but yeah I can't emphasize enough how much I don't miss Weber or Gross as our coach. We are finally getting studs that want to be a part of Illini basketball . Coach Underwood inherited a dumpster fire and has done an exceptional job getting us back to where we all want Illinois to be and he's only getting started and seems to have the players all in on achieving the ultimate goal of being elite. and I for one can't wait for this upcoming season and the future of Illinois basketball.
GO ILLINI!

Doesn’t sound like they are going after Butz. Think international.
Fletch to the rescue.
I think Weber is the better coach. Groce is still improving and may close the gap. But Weber crashed a Benz and Groce totaled a Kia. I’m not sure which is worse, but I’m glad Underwood has the wheel now.

Here's a hot take: Weber was a fantastic X's and O's coach who failed to win at the recruiting game because he wouldn't play it the way needed to be successful. Remember when Derrick Rose and company visited him and his team (brother I think?) asked him, "What can you do for us?" Weber left the room. His integrity was a huge part of his downfall.
