Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Brosky]

We need size. I see Williams is one of the portal targets.

where are these? I want a pair

Nike SB Dunks. Skateboard shoes that have come back in style in a big way. They have an insane amount of color ways as well. I don't think they sell these on the official Nike store (most likely out of stock) but you can probably buy them on StockX or GOAT like another poster mentioned.

Also should be a lot cheaper now than they were the last couple years. Like the luxury watch market, the sneaker marker has cooled heavily since the pandemic.

Two different scenarios. TSJ was his choosing. Domask doesn’t get to choose. The NCAA will be choosing for him. Never!

Moe's is absolute trash, and a burrito is in no way like a sandwich.

Sub sandwich is bread wrapped toppings. Similar to a burrito. I said what I said.

 

[AirNeazy]

Sounds like Harris is gone.

2022 class was ranked 11,

Clark, Epps, and now Harris gone. Rodgers still here.

Crazy how things have changed.

Same as the 2020 class, Miller, Curbelo both gone but the most unheralded of the three in Coleman stayed and made his mark.

 

[FrankNitty30]

This is a wild take. When’s the last time you put rice and beans on a sub?

All I am saying is that if I am going to wrap starch around toppings…. I’d rather it be a burrito.

 

[Chad Fleck]

How'd he act exactly that was unsavory to you? I don't remember him having any attitude issues, seemed more of a head down and play kind of guy.

He seemed to disappear if he didn't get the touches he wanted. It's what happens to chuckers when they don't get the ball enough.

 

[Dawgss4life]

Doesn’t mean !!!!. He hasn’t decided either way. He loves Illinois coaches.

I've been very happy with this pair, and if your size is available you can get a great deal right now:

I'm on board with the brats, my favorite sausage by far!

I'm lost on the burrito comparison, it's different carbs inside and outside, and different meats, toppings and sauces...

But I do love a good cheesesteak and sometimes enjoy ordering one at places that have no business making them just to see how they screw it up. Do you take yours wit wiz or provolone ?

Provolone with heavy doses of salt and pepper that melts into the cheese. Crazy.

So…what about a long john donut with filling? Sandwich?

 

[Dawgss4life]

So one person puts up a photo of Sencire saying forever grateful with the comment “nail in the coffin” and all of you jump in it as tho he is gone. He is not gone. It could still happen but as far as Sencire’s actual comments around Uben, he lives Illinois and the coaches.

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

I'm just gonna say it: I don't want AJ Storr. It's not the talent, I don't like the vibes. I don't like decommitting from the Illini only to play hot potato with his next two teams. I don't like turning down Kansas and their $750k because he's dead-set on making $1M. We have a culture where the players and Brad said there's no cliques, everyone's chill and having fun, and this guy is gonna gunk the whole locker-room up and this time we don't have Mayer to deck him unless Hawkins comes back.

Do you know all these things to be fact?

 

[stlrunner]

Provolone with heavy doses of salt and pepper that melts into the cheese. Crazy.

I’m with you on this one. I do like them with the wiz, as well…but provolone is the way to go.

 

[IlliniTilDeath]

How exactly does redshirting help you in the classroom? I love your attempt to be an insider but it’s just kinda sad.

 

[LadyLoyalty]

Completely disagree. Wouldn’t make an impact on this team??? He quite literally made an impact every time he touched the floor as a freshman. Now image what he could be as a defender after Fletch helped him completely reshape his physique. Extremely disappointed about losing Sencire

Stats aren’t everything. He is the human spark plug off the bench that can restart the entire team when they are stalling on the court. We all saw it firsthand when he single-handedly changed the entire momentum of that game against UCLA. He’s a valuable asset, even without high scoring ability. Any team would be lucky to have him, including us.

 

[illiniguy24]

I don't think he would have made the difference in beating UCONN or getting a higher seed.

He got to save a year of eligibility which could be worth a lot of money for him if he develops into a good college guard.

Hoped he would stick around but the decision makes sense when you factor in the amount of talented guards coming in plus possible transfers.

Think his best move might be to transfer to a smaller program where he can play 30+ mins and develop offensively.

I don’t think he helps beat UConn since he isn’t 7’2 lol but I think he could’ve helped us beat Penn State and maybe avoid another 1 or 2 losses that could have helped us avoid being in UConn’s bracket

I very much agree with your last statement, if he is willing to find a school that will actually let him be one of the main offensive guys then yes I don’t blame him for wanting to take that opportunity

Those are just Dunks low, not SB. I have them. Similar but the SB is a little wider. Dunks were the precursor to the Jordan 1

Moe's is absolute trash, and a burrito is in no way like a sandwich.

Every culture has their own ingredient-filled/wrapped bread thing. Some are just thinner or thicker than others.

I love a good sammie, but I'd rather have a taco. Texas re-wired my midwestern brain.

 

[sacraig]

Sub sandwich is bread wrapped toppings. Similar to a burrito. I said what I said.

If they're wrapped in bread, how can they be "toppings.?"

honestly, I think we all need to eat breakfast and try this illini recruiting thing again lol

 

[Frank]

So…what about a long john donut with filling? Sandwich?

Since we’re already wildly off topic: the key question here = do you consider a wrap to be a sandwich? If you take a classic Italian sub but choose the wrap option (or lettuce wrap at JJ), is it still a sandwich? If it is, then it’s not crazy to say a burrito is a sandwich, though I would still disagree (on account of the slippery slope principle…is a taco then a sandwich too?).

Glad we’re focused on some important philosophical questions this morning.

Sorry, I’ll get us back on track. Any insider info on where we stand with Storr?
