Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

I just read he signed a NIL deal with Sunoco...

He apparently had to sign it in international waters to avoid visa issues. It doesn't specifically state it is tied to UConn, but one would assume...

TWO DENZEL SMIRKS?! Talk to us, Indy!

There’s your hint …

Wait a minute… wait a minute…
Two smirks…. two smirks?
It takes two to Tango!
Tango… Tango?
Tango and Cash starred Kurt Russell!
Kurt Russell… Kurt Russell?
Kurt Russell was also in Escape from LA!
LA… LA?
LA is where UCLA is located!
UCLA… UCLA?
Tyger Campbell and Adem Bona play for UCLA!

Tyger Campbell and Adem Bona are the mystery recruits!

And like, that's a risk if they get NBA feedback they can't turn down.

It also presents a situation where we might lose our top 4-5 scorers after next year (though Hawkins could potentially still play an additional year). "Get old" is one thing "stay old" can be trickier.

But with those two and a battle-tested PG we're a pretty serious operation next year, no question.

I liked BU's comment last night about how to deal with all this chaos where he kind of had a knowing smile and said "take it day by day and don't worry about it". A very honest statement, albeit with subtext.

Given the choice between being good next year and the magic beans of trying to do multi-year team development, we are choosing to be good next year and worry about the rest later. I can appreciate the logic there.

I think anytime the moves make you a potential top 16 team, you take it and figure it out the next year.

We played Miller 25-30 Mpg as a freshman and he still left, seems there’s just as much risk in a young person leaving at least in our program.

This is what I subscribe to now. Cannot bank on freshman, no matter the role or the shine or the light. Bird in hand is worth two in the bush - don't get burned by the unknown

Exactly - in the pros I get being worse to develop, you see it all the time with QBs which is why there’s limited markets for guys like Baker Mayfield, who objectively are a top 32 QB.

Here your roster is turning over probably close to 2.5 years on average.

I just searched who he is following and Coleman and Sencire do not show up. Anderson and Rodgers do, fwiw. I am not sure if this image is real.

I have no idea if Tyger is leaving UCLA, or if he is coming here if he does, BUT....if he does...there should be a stipulation that he leaves his hair alone. We took in Mayer last year only for him to get rid of his mullet before he arrived. I don't think we can blame everything on that choice, but I am not willing to take that chance a second time!

Very well could be … As I’ve said many times I don’t get on social media … This was just sent in a group chat I am in … Probably taken from somewhere else …

You guys would be better than me at spotting fake vs real on this social media stuff …

*Insert the “so does that mean Tyger is not even thinking about coming now” messages*

Related to the hint someone gave recently involving a husky?

Some truly inexplicable haircuts have been through this program in recent years.

One of the few things that make me think there's a chance with Tyger.

The same one that "told him" Domask to Wisconsin.
