Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

There’s a huge difference between Central Catholic and the other BloNo schools. Central Catholic plays primarily farm town kids that are frontcourt players if they’re over 6 ft.

Yes, but uhigh and Bates-Diop were in that same conference back when he was there. So a previous poster saying uhigh wasn't a typical small school could be countered by that. They were in a small school conference, just like Central Catholic is now. That said I understand the point, uhigh is unusual, though they still haven't managed to have state wide success, even at the 2A level.

I mean it's a college basketball forum

Is it though? A lot of times it feels like a food or “talk about your hometown” forum.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Then why is he taking other visits if he is such a lock?

Where has he taken the visits to?

A whole forum turns on the whims of some 18 year olds. Its kind of amazing.

I mean, isn’t that the whole point of this? We live and die by the success, failure, and happenings on the team that are all full of kids (and some young men)….as well as the decisions made by 17 and 18 year olds that will affect said team in the future

I completely agree. I haven't tried with any dressing other than Catalina though. There's no need to when it's so delicious Western looks more like bar-b-que sauce than dressing. Never tried it though.

Gonna try Catalina. Seems similar to my Western or Russian. Far out!

Its way better with 1000 Island dressing.

That does sound good. Wouldn't it be too oily though?

Definitely go for the sweet and tangy!

What else is everyone supposed to talk about when nothing else is happening?

Really? Have you seen soccer fans? Some of those players are 18 yo.

 

[sacraig]

Really? Have you seen soccer fans? Some of those guys are 18 yo.

Soccer fans burn a car on the whims of some 18 year olds, so we are still in a good spot.

Used to live in Mt. Vernon...Fla now! I like my change of direction better!

Neighbor down the street here in Texas is from Mt. Vernon- lllinois grad. And, I was up in God's Country last week, and drove through Mt. Vernon.

Cottage cheese is a good healthy food, but too bland on its own. I stir in some Russian or Western dressing. I agree about the chips. Hyvee just had big sale on cottage cheese. Scarforama with Hyvee brand plain chips which were also on big sale!

The perfect complement to your cottage cheese.

Eating it makes you smart.

And eating it with beans makes you ****

The signs….The signs….you typed this like an acronym.

Acronym is now the sign.

What other acronyms do we know? IDKWTI…..Deron Williams is now the sign.

Deron Williams was from Texas. Texas is now the sign.

Texas starts with T. The letter T is now the sign.

T….Toledo starts with T. Toledo is now the sign.

RayJ goes to Toledo. RayJ is committing to the Illini.

Makes sense to me....finally someone with insight!!!

Enough, please, gutwise.

Nothing.

If everyone is back at this point and we get a PG, the depth of the Illini will be more than 2001. Hawk, TJ, PG, Quincy, Domask/Rodgers. Bench Domask/Rodgers, Goode, Harris, Harman, Dain and Hansberry. Thats 11 deep and I hope we go 11 deep as we should not have any player with over 30 minutes a game. We will run and run to wear teams down.

Lol yes! I totally get it, I miss Florida many days but also enjoy visiting friends on Vancouver Island. Just had the tulip season finish as you can imagine. I moved from Key Biscayne, mainly for work as a marriage and family therapist.

I haven't experienced Hy-vee since I left Springfield. They were really new at the time. Do they still have a Restaurant, Bar, Ferris wheel, and a Daycare center inside? I remember their produce selection was very top notch.

r a fully loaded Mission dog (wrapped in bacon,......

Hmm. Had not heard of a mission dogs before -sounds like it is worth trying

@LvilleILL @illini0440 @Indy Illini Fan

Can we get an update on feelings about CoHawk’s and TSJ’s decisions? Any new, credible rumblings/rumors/etc ??

Thanks guys. Until something crazy happens, I am still considering RayJ to be ours.

Steven Bardo, on this weekly podcast suggested tha Hawkins has the most to gain by returning,, in terms of improving his game.
Shannon much less so.

 

[2020 Final Four]

I heard Coleman Hawkins is returning.

Shannon much less so.

I think both are true but both are largely irrelevant to them coming back.

Tomatoes added to cottage cheese is my go to....also mandarin oranges or pineapple if you want a sweeter taste.

I love this board for the variety of discussion....food and humor are the appetizers before the main course.
