My favorite part of this is the INCREDIBLE quote of, "I would classify the class of 2023 and 2024 as the micro view of Illinois basketball. They are the classes that will help Illinois in the immediate future. I would classify the class of 2025 as the macro. These recruits will help the Illini down the road."Illini nations greatest insider, and the worlds top journalist, says he's a future top 100.
Illinois Basketball: Future top 100 recruit visits Illini
Illinois basketball is always recruiting and trying to improve. That is why the Illini had a future top 100 recruit in for an unofficial visit.writingillini.com
Wow Rees... you mean that recruits coming in the next two years will help sooner than the recruits coming at a later point in time? You are a genius. A god amongst men. A true connoisseur of the recruiting world.
Get that man a Pulitzer yesterday. An absolute legend.

I legitimately wonder what other fanbases think when they happen upon his articles.Rees hitting the submit button on another article:
We like going last but DGL has us first. Memphis is next. Lot of schools after him - UNC, Virginia, Gonzaga, Texas....
We are already loaded at guard with Skyy, Jayden, Sencire, Luke. However you never know with NBA early, transfer portal etc.
Trust in Tim A.
Luther - never gets enough credit for his contributions to NCAA finals team

Luther Head- the first ever second team All-American and first team All-B1G player to not get enough credit. But I digress..

very true. And I'm biased on that one. I'm friends with the guy who's apartment got broken into.
I saw a Rees article referenced recently in a duke article about James Brown. Made me chuckle
I'm a youngin, I watched the Natty game at home with my mom when I was 10. What did he do?
That's not deep at guard at all. Good chance Skyy is gone after a year. Luke isn't a guard. That could leave just Jayden and Sencire.
You should have at least 5 guards on the roster - BU has said exactly that.
Keep recruiting, always try to add more talent.
I'm actually curious why it took so long. I've played with a ton of guys that you couldn't give any room to once they were within 27 ft of the hoop. Not that they had any other talents that were nba-worthy. Seemed like a game changer to me. It's just a lot more guys with NBA game can do it now.
man, if could count how many times i did incredibly stupid things in undergrad that would get me kicked out, and maybe jailed

indiscretions.

There are of course levels to that. There are many dumb things we can do that don't put other people directly in danger.
All of us did stupid things when we were younger. Luther was lucky that there was no violence involved and he was given second chance.
He made the most of it.

Not many people talk about Luther Head today (2022). I tried to google him and could not find what he is up to.

Serious question: why the shade for Woodcock?
Non-serious guess: I did a little digging and discovered that this famous incident unfolded differently than people remember. If you squint, you can see the words "by Rees Woodcock, special to the Tribune" in the byline.
