Hearing that Devontae Davis guy could be entering the portal soon. Kids a stud hope we go after him but apparently Indiana already has the upper hand

Prospects entering the portal, prospects committing to other schools, thoughts about potential lineups and player fit, opinions on commits' games, upcoming dates/deadlines, recruiting ranking updates. All is relevant and would not make the main page.

Italian beef: Not relevant.

I absolutely agree with you 100%.

But hold on, those teenagers are eating Italian Beef on my lawn again.

Tennessee grad here. Look no further than about 5 years ago when Charlie Ergen’s alumni fund pushed Jim Haslam out as the funding partner of choice for Tennessee athletics. Charlie is the founder of Dish Network and is a friend of fellow Tennessee grad Min Kao (of garMIN). Their group has DEEP pockets and Barnes has performed better than Altman lately.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. Question for you - what brings you to the Illinois boards?

It would be appreciated to have a separate "off-topic" thread for people who need to post regardless of it's relevancy to the topic at hand (i.e. recruiting).

The idea of "there's nothing going on, so let's have hundreds of posts about an irrelevant topic to fill the gap" is not sensible. It's fine conversation, but the recruiting thread is not where those posts should be.

I understand that's extra work for Dan, and therefore I have no sense of entitlement it should happen.

But this thread is the perfect of example of why it would be beneficial.

I tried to stay on the food sidelines but Johnnie's pulled me in. Fabulous food, love their combo (Italian sausage and beef), fries are great and they make their own Italian ice.

Also, for my money, best burger I've had is at Sebastian General Store in San Simeon Ca, across from Hearst Castle on the PCH. Beef is from cattle raised on adjacent land, processed on site and never frozen.

Lastly, I too am a proud son of Decatur and Krekel's is solid, reminds me of post little league game stops back in the day.

And, we need a veteran point 5 with 45% 3pt, triple double potential and 5yrs eligibility. I have high standards

Must be coachable. If Brad yells jump, he jumps. If a player has to ask how high, he's not paying attention.

Good question…..my parents are from western Illinois (well my whole family really) and my dad and uncle both went to Illinois. I grew up watching Kurt Kittner throw bombs to Brandon Lloyd and watching HRF and crew on the hardwood. I went to high school in Tennessee, but had dual residency in Illinois for college because my dad was active duty. Chose Tennessee over Illinois because of a friend, who then backed out right before freshman year started.
