Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Some people on this board deserve a Walmart spanking. Landing Kerr would be like giving a crying 4 year old a smartphone.
Keep in mind, the team never announced him as a commitment. That info came from Williams’ camp, then disseminated here and on social media. At no point was Williams-to-Illinois official, and his “commitment” was probably based on several issues being resolved.

That’s a pretty aggressive reply. The question/challenge was to name one thing BU has done wrong with respect to getting a point guard. Fact is, we don’t know the ins and outs of each situation… what we know is that he failed to get a point guard. That’s the thing.
To extrapolate from that the expectation that BU be a perfect human being…. seems a bit much.
I don’t think the board is out to crucify or expect perfection. But I think it’s fair to expect a $7M coach to show SOME progress on what was arguably his #1 offseason goal.
As to Kerr there's a difference between being disliked and being a cancer. Reggie Jackson was hated by teammates. Lots of rings.
yeah. Should have never accepted a commitment from in. That is 3 "strikes" Waiver.Injury.Gambling allegations
Iowa, Iowa St announce investigations into athlete gambling
The University of Iowa says 26 athletes across five sports are suspected of wagering on sports in violation of NCAA rules and more than 100 people have been linked to an investigation. Iowa State acknowledged about 15 of its athletes across three sports also are suspected of violating gambling...apnews.com
This is what is being alleged. This information has been around for quite some time, and some have pieced together names based off of court records, etc. This makes the initial commitment frustrating, especially since the staff had to know of the allegations.

I know Kriisa doesn't have the most likable personality but based on what both his coach has said and what an Arizona insider has said, he was a good teammate and had no locker room issues. Now if Brad were to identify otherwise, that does change things and that would be an understandable pass. But thus far there has been no credible information out of Arizona he's a headache or a clubhouse cancer. So just food for thought there.
Oh FFS.

Thanks, I hate it!
Maybe we could just ask Podz. Oh wait, sorry.
Toussaint is actually a very good player. Watched him tons of games at Iowa. Plays really hard. Quicker than fck. Plays too fast sometimes.
Would help for sure. I could see him playing 18-20 mpg at PG.
I would only want Toussaint if Harmon doesn't make it to campus and he plays the role they envisioned for harmon. I'd rather just roll with Ty at the point.

Not at all what I said, nor what I believe. If he works hard, but get mins cut due to promises made to transfers, then sure come on over. If hes lazy, then the coaches can filter that out.
While we're imagining things, let's imagine both Gibbs-Lawhorn and Moretti blow up this summer. Also, I win the lottery.
Louisville will probably pay you good NIL money to play there.

I arrived home this evening to find a somewhat thick envelope from the IRS in the mailbox. Having established long ago the habit of attending first to the most unpleasant task confronting me in my queue of Things to Do at any given time, I logged back onto Loyalty to catch up on the day's recruiting thread before opening the letter.
or Maybe the middle of the end
Today has been one big
Based on actual accurate information, or just cocky demeanor?
Sooooo what’d I miss today?
There have been rumors and rumblings that Podz might get drafted
No one caresI have been SO busy the past week or so . . . The Ignore function is getting a workout!
Not possible. He is not even high major material.
