Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
Think everything stated is a possibility besides the part that I bolded …
IlliniwekKDR
- Colorado Springs, CO
Morrow Plots
blackdog
- Champaign
I’ve been praying for a PG since March …
This is too similar to the TA picture for my liking
It's what Indy, lville, 0440? Who are the others?
Sharpshot and DB11
6 or 7 digits
Homecoming 2019
- Chicago
DB11 and also Pru who has been secretly telling us we are going after a former pornstar based on his gifs? Still scouring the internet to find out who...

Also possibilities:
1)We Have a phenomenal season, including a nice tournament run.
2)BU goes, his assistants go with him, we'd be in flux, and every player on the roster would be open season once they reopen their recruitment, which is status quo when it comes to coaching changes. One of those players would be Morez.
The narrative where every outcome would be bad, outside of the one that we don't want to be bad is ludicrous.
In April, we were locked up with an elite PG. In June, we don't have one. Nothing is ever off the table when it comes to college athletics nowadays.
Can we offer the most NIL if it comes down to dollar bucks.
Nah....Michigan just had 2 players go in the top 15 of the draft....how'd that worked out for them? BU is a much better coach than JH
Well, if we can't, then the blame shifts from BU to our boosters, right? People are ready to throw BU under the bus, but hey, if we want to be big time players with regards to the portal...ante up. I mean, that seems to be where we're at right now. NIL is out of hand and it's sad.
He also said Williams was going to play for us....
So if the Illini do not land Kerr, what is everyone's thoughts on Joe Toussant? Would you be satisfied with him as our point guard?
I realize at Iowa he wasnt anything special, but he did have a pretty good year at West Virginia, and other than assists, his numbers are close to Kerr and Mulcahey,
He shoots almost 80 percent from the charity stripe. That can come in handy at the end of the game when protecting a lead. Plus, we wouldnt need to find out
if he is eligible or healthy. I would think he would be serviceable and a defense minded and experienced point guard that is familiar with the Big Ten.

As I prepare to head out for the evening, I consider this to be a VERY GOOD day for Illinois basketball. I have never felt comfortable with the Williams commitment. Way too many unknowns.
I feel like we're now in a much better position with the team make-up, as well as with the open roster spot(s) .
Get it done Brad. ILL !!!

NBA players are getting drafted based on tools and projections on how their game will translate to the NBA level not how good they are in college. Plenty of guys get drafted early that were never great college players.
On the other hand you have Drew Timme who is probably the best college player in recent memory and went undrafted. You also saw Tshiebwe, Council, Sanogo, and Tubelis all go undrafted.
The best team in Illini history that nearly went undefeated and won the Nation championship only had one good NBA player in Deron.
Possible gambling suspension?
Kerr allegedly got 500k from WVU originally. Maybe he beats that now because he's the last guy left and can create a bidding war.
I'd think we can outbid both Nebraska and Memphis and are a more attractive roster than both but who knows. Memphis does have some big money donors.
