Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

If thats part of his goal in coming back then hopefully its an offseason focus.
His handle was good enough to fill in but pretty loose in a lot of games.
Since I'm not an attorney that makes sense. Once again, do you believe he hired the attorneys to negotiate with the NCAA or to sue them?
We are going to get a PG. But they feel comfortable with Domask in that spot too and booty ball
With his vertical leap 10 to 15 feet is not a great distance.
Did you read something in my post that suggest I don't want to upgrade the roster?
I'm on record as saying that the concept of "recruiting over" is ridiculous. Every player all the time should expect to be recruited over. That's the coach's job.
And I agree that needing to earn your minutes is crucial. But there's plenty of chatter in here about players who are looking for guarantees for time that it sounds like we're willing to give.
And last season we had Clark who was apparently guaranteed a starting spot.
I love the culture we established this year compared to the culture that was present the previous season. I'd like to keep it going.
His handle improved as the season went on and his usage went up.
Agreed. Domask did a nice job and Underwood made the best of a not-ideal situation, but I'd much prefer Domask be the "secondary PG." (that is if we're lucky to get him back, which I'm skeptical of).

Fine, we'll break it down one piece at a time then:
What makes you think this is happening?
How do you establish and maintain continuity?
I don't think anyone was happy with last season's results, but which factors contributed to that result are up for debate.
Prove themselves how?
What makes you think this is happening? Plenty of people are discussing concerns about culture and fit (e.g., the back and forth about Storr).
It is, but his rebounding won is some games last year. Seemed to me that Brad started having in games late after the Psu let down.
But he’d have to be an instate recruit……
The continued discussion of Domask as a part of the 2024/2025 squad from insiders is exciting.
That sounds like they feel the Domask decision has a good chance to be favorable.
This would be the case whether he stays at IL or goes elsewhere (and I certainly hope he stays). That shooting is important in basketball is obvious.
He needs to be taking 1,000 jump shots every day. IMO, he needs to first get comfortable with making the 10-15 jumper. Then extend his range to 3-pt land. You got to walk before you run.

Have you read the posts here before? Of course people would bat an eye. There would be at least half a dozen posters arguing that a 5 star player here for 1 or 2 years isn't worth delaying the development of Joe 4-star who will be here for 3+. It happens every time except maybe with Fears.

That’s almost hard to do these days. If they are THAT good, they’ve left and play in Arizona or over at LaLu. Kinda like buying an “American” car. So tough to define, ya know?
Sure could of used Sencire's defense on numerous occasions this past year.
Am I missing something? Who are we talking about here?
Well, if the coaches believed that Clark was an EDG, they badly misjudged. As to how players prove themselves it's by effort on the court, buying into the system, etc. I have my doubts about Storr. But my judgement about him will wait until I see what he brings to the Illini if he comes here.
And yes, "plenty" of people are talking about Storr and fit. But I'd say it's running about 3 to 1 with people saying you can't pass up a talent like him.
Oops, I forgot my……./s.

Last year was an outlier as far as team culture goes. Years prior, the everyday guys were in full effect.
He transferred to Wake Forest and then came back.
Or his two fouls in a minute against NW. I like Harris but him and Ty cannot be on the floor at the same time
I thought Harmon played D well this year
Love his energy and EDG demeanor- Status
