Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[More3s]

There are some huge names coming, buckle up folks

So... "we didn't want Storr anyway" was kind of a meme before, but... Maybe actually true now???

 

[ChiefGritty]

Domask will appear in the Coaching Carousel thread before we know it

NCAA is the dumbest organization known to mankind.

They are, but Domask had a really weak case IMO.

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

Like who?

 

[othawhitemeat]

Maybe our basketball coaches can fly into Miami in a helicopter to recruit some of their players.

Swap the fball for bball players?

 

[madillini4]

Defund the NCAA…

 

[NCIllini10]

Domask waiver has been denied ...

Sucks! Not surprised, but that sucks!

Ohio State sophomore Center Felix Okpara is transferring to Texas A&M. Minnesota sophomore Center Pharrel Payne is transferring to Texas A&M. Is Illinois focusing solely on getting a transfer from Kentucky sophomore Center Ugonna Onyense? Is it all or nothing with Onyense? Illinois really needs to add a rim protector. Someone mentioned Alabama C/F Nick Pringle once as a possible transfer to Illinois. Is Pringle still a possibility for the Illini? I worry that the search for a rim protector this year will end up like the Illinois search last year for a point guard. Indy Illini Fan and any other posters: Do you have any answers to these questions?

nope , I heard he is transferring to Texas A & M also........................................................................../s............I really really didn't.......

So does Humrichous taking Goode’s minutes at 2 guard in this scenario or does Humrichous find a new home?

Goode didnt ever play the 2 and Humrichous isn't a 2 either - im confused?

 

[CoalCity]

I agree ... He's a first round talent ...

However ... Most teams have a grade on him similar to TJD ... Mid to late 2nd round ...

Why do they have him graded that deep?

 

[Heisenbobble]

Huge names coming to Illinois, or to the portal?

Portal, but I really hope Illinois has a large NIL bag to offer a couple of them.

 

[TheGMan]

Nobody needs this.

They are just blending the cottage cheese and adding cheddar powder to make a healthier cheese sauce. I've done this before, and it's delicious.

[Battle89]

Nobody needs this.

By the time you blend / puree the cottage cheese, it's basically tangy milk, and just a base for the cheese powder. Then you further add melted real cheese on top of that. Not sure the final product would be recognizable as cottage-cheese based to an eater after that, if you hadn't already told them.

Nonetheless, I always appreciate the research and the effort to engage the group here. Thanks @grue2 .

Edit: and to @TheGMan I suppose

hard to tell with people on here sometimes

 

[whatahack]

Besides NIL, which is obviously important, do we have any edge or link with Holmes

 

[More3s]

same initials as Derek Holcomb, so... might count for something

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

We don't need someone to play the booty ball roll, we will just adjust the offense to fit the new personnel! That is one of the things that I love about this staff...not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole!

Agree 1000%. Though selfishly as a fan, I loved seeing Dr. Domask go to work on the block/mid-range.

I feel like that skill is less commonly seen these days. Wouldn't mind we added another player with that in his bag!

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

I agree ... He's a first round talent ...

However ... Most teams have a grade on him similar to TJD ... Mid to late 2nd round ...

So, a similar rating to a guy who has a 21.5 PER (15 is considered average), and making 70% of his FG attempts, as a rookie? Yeah, why would they want him?

Sometimes I don't know what NBA scouts are thinking, especially when it comes to guys who can rebound. That skill almost always translates.

 

[Indy Illini Fan]

Indy, are we trying for onyenso? since louisville just spent a bag on one id assume there out

Yes ...

And yes ...

 

[TheodoreRex]

and I'm guessing one's that we have a shot at getting?

 

[kleine]

how did Humichrous visit go?

 

[NCIllini10]

Marcus will always be an Illini legend in my book. Fantastic player and person.

Truth! Quickly became one of my favorites! Super humble and friendly on top of being a great palyer!

Show me a lawyer that isn't confident

I can say with certainty, a public defender. And also whatever non-DA lawyers who are working the prosecution for the TSJ case...
