Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Mr. Roberts]

Even though I'm annoyed with how long it's taken, I gotta give MAJOR props to Dennis. From the outside looking in it looks like he's pitting all these schools against each other to get paid.

I sure hope if he come to Illinois he's worth whatever he's going get in NIL money

Wherever he lands he had better bring his A game after this kind of auction. Expectations will be quite high.

Sorry if this was mentioned, I am not reading 19 pages haha, but I saw…Ant Wright I think…say if Illinois misses on RayJ, they should go after Yuri Collins, who might be a better fit.

I agree on both accounts. Especially If we get TJ or CoHawk or both back.

You are the first sane person on this board today. Apparently you've avoided 6 weeks of recruiting threads.

Well done!

I hope you’re right.

But right now we’re all wasted and we’ve got some guys who can’t find their way home.

Rock on, Loyalty!

Do you really think Coleman is joking around all over social media without a decision made ?

Which is even more reason to believe he's coming back. There’s really minimal upside in trying to generate interest if he’s ultimately staying in the draft. He’s not part of a team yet so there isn’t a particular set of NBA fans waiting with bated breath and GM's couldn't give two !!!!! if a second round pick comes out or not?

The only upside here is gaining more followers on socials and more NIL from Illinois which seems to be getting ironed out as we speak.

Players getting compensated for the value they bring is long overdue.

Players flipping from school to school and everyone having to re-recruit and re-construct their roster every year is the wholesale destruction of the sport

Two side of the same coin.

You drive a Maserati, too?

I lost my license now I don’t drive. My Maserati does 185. Life’s been good to me so far…

If you're right, you'll have taken over the title as the insider.

How about just shutting it. If you don’t want Indy’s opinions delete him. He doesn’t need you to be his critic good lord

Is Yuri Collins in the transfer portal?

 

[Nikethreadguysm]

I hope draft deadline day is this fun every year lol

Oh it’ll be like Day one of NFL legal tampering I have no doubt.

And that coin is an !!! penny.

Not going to lie, I'll be a little annoyed at Brad if we lose out on RayJ

Agreed. If he's delaying this just to leave, it's certainly an odd choice. And this will be me...

And you blame them for dragging this out when end equates to big $$$. Its business and its likely he will make more here than elsewhere. I wished Kofi the best but what do you think he could have made last year and this upcoming season? Hawk and Ray J are only trying to get the most $$ they can. Do you blame them? I dont.
