Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

I love it when the board goes apoplectic. With the " Gifs", gifs, memes, etc. I asked my 21 yr old son and 13 yr old nephew tonight what the heck do these terms mean? 
They are clips, video, and what is a podcast? Other than someone sitting in a room or mom and dads basement, with a microphone talking! They both gave me a ear full and I laughed. Boys it's men are women basically without a radio station, an Pics or videos. Man they let me have the " man your old"! I loved it when we were Marines, killers of evil, small videos were not Gifs or Jiffs. Lmao.

Cohawk come back and or Dainja, Goode and we all forget the biggest sleeping giant on the team TyRodgers. RayJ will be the 1 or 2 option? Really?
RayJ doesn’t have to consider being the “1st or 2nd” option on the Illini. He will be THE point guard. His job will be to run the offense 75% of the time and make the right play. If that play is him scoring then he becomes your “first option” and if it’s not then he is likely the one that made the right play that lead to the other option. Defense doesn’t hide no matter what conference you’re in when it comes to high division 1. If he picks Utah and he plays “good defense” against the inferior opponents but gets cooked against USC, UCLA, etc…the scouts will see that, and they will see it again at the nba combine
I get what you’re saying but I’m not sure it really matters. Other top coaches pull kids with the same ambitions as RayJ into more competitive roster situations than TSJ, Coleman, Goode, Dainja, and Rodgers. Those kids still make the NBA. With abundance of film and other tools scouts have now I don’t think the quantity aspects matter much anymore.

Morning Has Broken
Song by Cat Stevens
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

All of you clamoring for less food talk and more news about 'crootin...
Watch for a possible decision today or tomorrow…Don’t want to get hopes up that it will happen or not but it sounds like we’re coming to an end very soon.

The best part of that GIF (IMHO) is the gone-native character of "Chef" in the background. ("Never get off the boat! Never get off the boat!!")
In fact, come to think of it: Chef's kiss to you, my friend.

Indeed. Apropos to this thread, we have a binary choice: we can get busy living or get busy dying.

Thoughts on Peoria's Dietrich Richardson?
"Dietrich Richardson is the next young talent ready to shine.
The sophomore from Peoria Manual plays for Mid-Pro Academy on the club scene, and the 6-4 sophomore is an ultra-smooth, toolsy guard with size and length. For a young player, it’s easy to love his craft as a ball-handling playmaker.
While the Class of 2025 is trending towards being a little light for high-level college prospects, Richardson’s upside is about as good as it gets in the class."
Any relation to DJ?

You are definitely on to something as I see it the same way. When you can be the number 1 go to guy-"Da Man", it does weigh heavy on some. Great point!
