Truman State?? You "doubt" that he'd change his mind? Was he getting a scholarship to play at Truman State...nope.

So maybe he :
1) wants to be at a much better academic school (most likely not going to get paid to play hoops professionally)
2) he is a fan of Illinois basketball and wants to be part of it
3) wants to be a part of B1G / D1 ball, with the chance to participate in the NCAA tourney (if only from the bench)
4) wants to go to bigger school (Truman State only has 3,300 students total) for a better college experience
5) maybe he wants the inside track to a chance (later) to become a D1 scholarship player at Illinois
6) he wants access to some of the top hoops facilities, trainers, coaches in the country to develop his game

There are tons of reasons why he'd "change his mind"
7. He committed before to Truman State and HC Jeff Horner last year. Horner was fired after the season was over. In addition, he improved and became a D1 prospect. He reopened in April..

No, it will have absolutely nothing to do with where you spend eternity.

If you're craving a "Chicago dog"...sure. IMO, that's too much pickle flavor to everything else ratio. If you want to experience the best "dog" of your life (imo), pay up for legit Wagyu beef ones. You'll never want to go back to that overly processed :poop: again

Every Pg turns the ball over at one point or the other…

Yes

Last season Braden Smith had 11 games with 4 or more turnovers, nearly 1/3rd of his games

9 of those 11 games he was 5+, roughly 1 in every 4 games

Never forget: we moaned about RayJ Dennis for an entire season all the way through an E8 finish as he led all 3,500+ players in the NCAA in turnovers

My niece is at UIUC right now and she is on the hook for 70,000 a year. That is of course including R&B.
How does any of this tuition conversation have anything to do with basketball recruiting? Might want to think about starting a new thread.

why don't we just drop a bag on someone like jamir watkins? we're talking about how they have the $ for riley, why not just pluck some of that in? especially considering the fact that most of these uncommitted highly touted portal guys - like watkins - will decide on whether they're coming back the same time as Will. If you don't get him back, you could just go to the donors with Watkins (same time - around early june).

you don't have to break your guarenteed promises to Will (or the donors, perhaps). it's just that once you get the validation he's not returning, you could turn the heat up and sell the donors on someone just as highly touted - if not more - in Watkins.
