Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[ColSLU69]

Indy, what do you know/think about Soph Kennard Davis Jr of the SIU-C Salukis? I'm hearing that Purdue, Iowa State, and other schools are pursuing him. I'd say he's definitely not chopped liver. Is Illinois interested in him in the transfer market?

 

[ColSLU69]

Hints? Position?

 

[2X2L]

Played a GIANT role …

Correct - We had the highest offer $$ wise but IU was right there with us …

Wise move by Josh Dix. The only move, in my opinion. There's no place like home. Good luck, best wishes to Josh and his family.

Should be good starting 5 and contenders in the conference. Great work by staff keeping our guys. Look forward to a tourney appearance and hopefully another Elite 8.

Sorry dude, no way that 5 is competing in the B1G.

Sellers to Providence

Someone asked about Elyjah Freeman and I can’t find the post … Word on that one is Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee …

Someone also said would Aidan Mahaney be an option … I’ve heard he’s heading back to the West Coast …

And for those that were wondering where Tre White might end up … I’m hearing Kansas is the clear favorite at this point …

Tre for AJ trade,?

Sellers to Providence

Can’t help but wonder with both Dix and Sellers not coming here if we’re going to get a surprise returnee…or two

I'm not sure that 5 wins the MAC.

Zero chance this is the starting lineup when November rolls around.

 

[BatteredWifeSchwartz]

Really curious what happened with Sellers. We got a freaking Denzel gif and everything Indy Illini Fan

 

[RollChief]

As soon as I found out Jake Davis was one of the biggest s*** talkers on the team I knew we needed him back

Lol

 

[STLflyinIllini]

Nope

 

[matt1all]

Sellers is going to Providence …

There’s a lot to that one … Probably best for both parties …

Providence also really overpaid IMO … But they’ve got crazy NIL this year …

this is the one i'm fine missing out on...

Can't stand Kevin Willard but he isn't wrong about the Big East having far more basketball resources/NIL without those pesky football programs.

[PortalGiant]

Everyone here wanting portal commitments and I'm just looking for commitment on defensive end with the Hamer being sent packing. If cant get a portal commitment can we at least finally get rid of Hamer it's been to long already.

Oh it's competing alright, for a spot in the Big Ten Tournament

By that logic, what explains why the SEC has taken over the basketball world lol

What is this guy smoking?! If that’s our best 5 a lot has gone wrong this offseason.

 

[HensonHall71]

I may have missed it, have we shown any interest in Stanković from Serbia? He’s 20yo, 6’-8” guard putting up solid numbers in Euro.

I posted about him earlier - we really shouldn’t want him IMO- he’s not doing much for his team in the ABA, he did have a good U19 tourny last summer but what he does doesn’t really translate to the college game- 6’8 who’s not overly quick or tough rebounder that is more athletic than most he’s up against now but that won’t be the case in college. The key for me is to look at what they do well in Europe to see if that will play well in college and for him that’s a No

in contrast, here is my take on Kasparas from last summer, I was high on him because of the high IQ pick and roll game, ability to get his own shot, but the turnovers and struggles against quicker guards were going to be an issue - I think that is exactly what we got and he was well with it- if anything we should have protected him a bit more and let Kylan be the primary ball handler more this year and let KJ initiate the offense from there
