Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Bigtex]

Sort of. They just wanted to see his shot improved before accepting a commitment. He didn’t like that.

exactly what I heard (elsewhere) but thanks for your insight.

If you get booted for weed nowadays ... You have got to be a complete idiot ... There are plenty of ways to pass a test ...

Shoot ... That is honestly part of a PWO job in most FB and MBB programs is to pass a test for star players ...

I think the P stands for preferred. Preferred Weeing One

How recently did they share that info about not being happy with Illinois?

I would not describe it as being "unhappy" with Illinois.

Illinois would prefer him in 2025. Others are telling him he could be one-and-done in the 2024 class.

Fears likes how his game fits at Illinois, so they will be in it until the end.

Is RayJ Dennis still a lock?

I'm not saying it's bad info ... But I sat down with Brad and he told to me to my face we would take Fears in whatever class he wanted ...

Even if that means taking a kid off scholarship and making him a PWO and giving him NIL to cover his scholarship ... (See what Sean Miller is doing right now at Xavier ... I think he has 15 guys right now that could be on scholarship ... Two are getting a full ride plus a little extra spending money through NIL) ...

Counter point: I’m a lifelong Illini fan so I have to blindly believe the bad news even if it has no credibility because that’s what usually happens.

None of the transfers this year were 4 star recruits. You think its disingenuous but I actually see this point as strengthening my case.

Guerrier was a 4* recruit

Illinois has went back and forth on taking Jeremiah Fears in 2024 (reclassifying seems likely) and I don't think that has played all that well with Jeremiah or his dad. The Illini are still a top option, but I think it's trending in the wrong direction, frankly.

Where is this information coming from? I haven't seen or heard anything that would indicate that Fears wouldn't be a take for either 24 or 25.

LOL Soooooo....You're saying that you have more of a glass half empty outlook? The nut-punch hurts a bit less when it is expected.

I personally really like both Lewis and Butler a ton. Will be interesting to see if both want to come with each other. Lewis is higher rated, but I could also see Butler being a stud in college

Edit: I failed to read the part where we may take both
