BASKETEBALL strikes again!
Is James Brown staying in town for the game Monday too?
Both got futurecasted to Memphis
OV's only last up to 2 days so he would have to stay on his own accord
Wherever it is, it’ll be together.
Something something NIL something anything goes these days.
Want big Man cred when it comes to success on the court and off with NIL for big man recruits...enter the King!

If anything, you have it backwards. Immensely better to have massively more above the table.
I think you missed my point. You literally can do anything you want, unless you have things/people on the table.
They gonna commit.. its done

Would bet that ends horribly
Can't get em all. I like our next couple of classes.
I knew recruiting was an arms race but did not realize for it to be small arms race.

? Illinois hasn’t recruited Taylor in a very long time for a number of reasons.
That release point is kinda absurdly high. He won't have many shots blocked, and if he's confident, he can probably get that off even with a guy in his face.
Emoni was still top 5 coming out of High School. JJ's trajectory looks more like Mike Shaw 2.0
I do not follow recruiting closely anymore. This staff has done such a stellar job, there is "No Worries".
It will be interesting to see whether/how the Donda kids get through the NCAA Clearinghouse.
Penny has shown absolutely 0 ability to control kids with personalities/personas. Pair that with the idea that Mikey Williams is already a multi millionaire with a Puma shoe deal. Memphis is a Nike school. Interested to see how that shakes out. This isn’t Marcus Jordan and UCF. Williams actually has something to lose here.
Throw in the whole wrinkle of these Donda kids clearing the NCAA. And Mikey has played for 3 different schools now San Ysidro, Vertical Academy in North Carolina, Donda and now back to San Ysidro.
I’ll be shocked if this recruitment goes the distance and he actually plays a game for Memphis. Not bet the beach house. But more Clark Griswold sewing my head to the carpet.

I've been very interested in how NIL is going to play out in regard to shoe companies. Right now NIL deals, in general, can't go against school signed deals. I think deals like the PUMA one for Williams could be the death of that stipulation.
In pro track it's not unusual at all to see athletes wearing one brand of shoe and a different brand of uniform (when competing for their country). They most definately will not wear a shoe brand that does not feel right.
I always wondered what Illini golf did re: equipment when Nike still made clubs, balls etc.
