Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Best chain pizza?

Domino's/Blaze Pizza, but the Hut has the best wings of any chain pizza place

Just think….RayJ wants more money $$, which I don’t blame him…but we offer more than any of the other schools….he chooses the school that doesn’t offer him the most money. Now what does that say. Do you want someone on your team that doesn’t stick to his word? Ehhh just sayin.

Nothing to do with money

Maybe Geoff can get us someone with his Europe connections

Just think….RayJ wants more money $$ and all along he is touting this, which I don’t blame him…but we offer more than any of the other schools….he chooses the school that doesn’t offer him the most money. Now what does that say. Do you want someone on your team that doesn’t stick to his word? Ehhh just sayin.

It says Brad Underwood lost a recruiting battle. Nothing more.

Must be rumors of Brad's yelling. RayJ prefers a different atmosphere.

 

[D1959]

This is not just 100% about money. If so, would’ve had a commitment weeks ago.

 

[KnoxIllini2]

It says Brad Underwood didn’t want him anyway. Nothing more.

FIFY

Utah could be the landing spot for RayJ. That connected with his trainer could be to much to overcome for our Illini.

And you believe CBB Content? Lol

Tyger could happen, but it's a long shot. TA will try to test that out I'm sure. There are two guys they will focus assuming RayJ goes elsewhere. Shannon and Hakwins knows who both of those names are

So I’ve been a huge Brad guy. But, after an off-season where he supposedly angered Whitman with his flirting with other jobs again, I’m wondering how his seats gonna be if we miss out on pg and have another rocky season. Not good. Imo

 

[GallopingGhost]

It’s obv not a $$ issue I would think we could offer the most (maybe baylor has good reserves idk). I say we just wait to see how it all shakes out.

Yes I’d rather have RayJ. But Yuri and TSJ+Coleman would still be a terrific group.

I get the frustration-and it's warranted. But the roster will look good going into the season, we ain't done yet

Sorry, just doing a play by play on negotiation tactics. I will stop.

Fix it for the poster who offered the original premise.

Great insight! What is your take on the RayJ to Utah rumors? I don’t buy it at all.

Its gonna be ok! Lol

For all those that doubt our insiders...Brad Sturdy on "I on the Illini Podcast" (Free) about timeframe on Ray J, "I expect something quickly with him ...hopefully, that was actually a text I got from one of the Illinois coaches today was "Soon Hopefully!""

My friends who are hard core SLU fans say that Yuri had weak pro evals and he is now shopping himself to highest bidders.

They describe him as great passer, not a good shooter, and dribbles too much.
SLU wants Caleb Love if that tells you anything.
