Illini92and96

Austin, TX
I was thinking the opposite. Out of the 6 or so drives shown only 2 were going left and he only finished 1 with his left hand. Still a great tape though - seems to have good instincts for when to drive and can finish
I want to see him use both hands at the same time and go straight down the middle. Then you don't have to worry about right or left and being unbalanced. Boom.

Who would win a 2 on 2 game. Fears V. Clarks?

Still interested in him as a '23.
Interesting since it felt like the general believe was he ws only a take because of our current roster makeup and the extreme lateness of this 22 recruiting cycle.

Guess that’s a positive that the staff still likes him enough for next year.

I remember Eddie hitting that shot against MSU from the right corner like it was yesterday. I was in 8th grade and was watching on TV with my Dad. We went nuts when he hit that shot. Too bad they lost to OSU the next game and it was all downhill from there that year for the Illini. I didn't realize....Eddie had a really nice, solid NBA career. Sorry....back to recruiting!
What I remember the most was that it was winter break and I was home near Pittsburgh. It was well before constant sports coverage. College basketball results were not on the evening news (certainly not in Pittsburgh fora BigTen game). I had to wait for the morning paper to see the game results. I went absolutely bananas in my driveway reading the final score. I was telling all my friends that stopped by about how this was amazing and exciting. They, of course, didn't give a !!!!. When the Illini followed-up with that loss to OSU, I just stopped talking about it until I got back to campus. The only upside was that my HS friends cared so little, I didn't get of their !!!! in return.;)
