Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
You know it’s so weird now. I don’t much get up for recruiting HS players anymore. It just seems unless they are just tremendous, the first school they attend will not be the one benefiting from them. It just seems it is easier to get high quality transfers and roll out an old team.
For those that know, is the younger Fears a “play first year” type (sorry just have not followed him or HS for that matter), and does Illinois have a shot over Kansas? Thanks all

Come on down and wear your Orange and blue would look good on you.
I don't believe I have heard anyone say he's a Day 1 starter. That lofty designation is reserved for Morez. But I have no doubt he'll be in the rotation. Not like our two current freshman guards.

He took an official here in the fall ... The only other visit he took was to Providence ...
Well, I guess now you've heard ... Fears and Morez both will start from Day 1 ... Part of the pitch was the ability for both of them to come in and play right away ...
You don't get these types of kids and sit them on the bench ... Unless you want them in the portal following the season ... (See: Tom Izzo & Xavier Booker)
Orange helmet… Trilly says ILL
Where will Mr Booker be playing next season?
Kansas is not actively recruiting him ... This one is a done deal ...
We appreciate Trilly and his sources.....Trilly has good sources ...
He will have plenty of options if he chooses to leave ... Purdue would be high on his list ...
MSU is undefeated when he plays 5 or more minutes a game ... You'd think Izzo might figure that out ... And maybe he does and he fixes the situation ...
Love, Magwood, and Alston are all toward the top of the list ... Brad has also really started to like Richardson ... Melvin Bell is also an option ...
Chester has been an absolute pitbull with Magwood ... I like our chances ... Even with Fears committed ...
I get tons of messages about Phoenix Gill ... Brad told him there is a spot for him if he wants it ... No guaranteed PT ... Come in and earn it ... Phoenix then went to the media to complain that Brad was not recruiting him hard enough ... Brad does not respond well to stuff like that ... And now the situation is what it is ...
And Moretti?
He'll be playing the role he is now ...
Any shot at Fears bros given the recent incident and this news?
Then the Illini don't need him. Since BU is trying to become elite, it's mind over matter--"we now don't mind, and you now don't matter." He had his chance. Move on!

- ties will be resolved
Magwood's gonna be interesting. If he still wants in (with Fears, Butler and DGL), I think he's a take. He's too good not to be (yeah, I'm high on him). The real question is will he still want in, 'cause competition for tick is gonna be fierce.
