Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[PasadenaIllini]

Egor Demin 5/41 from three in his last 9 games (28% FG, 12% 3PT). That alternate timeline of Illinois giving Demin a $2 million NIL deal looks very dark now.

There's no doubt we got the better player, but those stats aren't a completely fair assessment. Demin has been playing hurt for a good deal of BYU's season so far.

"In his first eight games, Demin averaged 13.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists, shooting an efficient 49.3% from the field, 38.5% from three and 68% from the free-throw line. However, since entering Big 12 play after his injury, Demin has struggled, averaging just 6.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and six assists while shooting 29.4% from the field, 6.3% from three and 66.6% from the free-throw line over four games."

I am intrigued by "The Italian Unicorn," Luigi Suigo. he is 7'3" with a 7'6" wingspan whose athletic ability is catching up to his size. Piper says that Alexander was to meet with him on his Europe trip. He is planning to go to a prep school next year, and would be a replacement if Tomi goes pro after 2 years.

And Maddox who is averaging 5 points for a bad Xavier team.

Anyhow, seemed we wanted these guys and just didn't get them. Blessings in disguise, I suppose?

They would be doing better under Brad, imo. He adapts to the player’s strengths.

You're going to need to prove this with a tidbit or two of juicy insider info that proves to be right.

Also, who ever heard of email expiring?

Probably his AOL email account

I'd imagine we're also to some extent working Constanza (?)

Also, Dame Sarr isn't related to Alex, right?

Amazing that some posters here whined and bitched about Brad not getting Storr and Demin.

Lol.

Just curious. What are your feelings about staff offering them spots?

Dame Sarr is not related to Alex Sarr. And Constanza (no idea if we're still on him) looks to be arguably the best scorer in his class.

Is that the guy who had extremely confidently bad "inside" info about Bryce Hopkins? Was actually randomly thinking about that the other day.

I remember back in the earlyish days of email, a friend of mine got in big trouble by her boss for having a Hotmail account LOL. He thought she had some interesting side gig.
