A lot of mizzery fans think this is the do or die year for gates
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
Brad is not interested in pivoting …
Tend to agree here, with how tapped in the #insiders are right now I feel like they would have mentioned something by now if he was
Indy alluded to him to being ready for Big Ten play at the moment

A freshman or 2 could redshirt. It was mentioned a few weeks ago L Davis could be likely to RS.
Since everyone’s curious about where things stand …
Obviously would like to add Blackwell …
Ty not being there last night is interesting … Does he have the role he wants ? Brad definitely made it clear he’s got a spot if he wants it … I could see Lee sliding into that role as the 10th guy …
Could also see us adding a Misko special big guy just so we’ve got a little more depth there … Pepperdine kid is an option but other top secret options as well …
Blackwell
Vaaks
Andrej
Mirk
Tomi
Bench:
Q Coleman
Z
Jake
Morillo
Ty
Deep Bench:
B Lee
Jakstys
Ethan Brown (could redshirt)
Landon Davis (could redshirt)
Fagbemi

You're still on the roster if you redshirt.
We can only have 15 players, including walkons and Rankin. Brad can count.
Mingo’s are not going to be an option for us …
We had some conversations to get an idea of the financial piece and figure out where they were at in the process in case of emergency … And to be a little more detailed, us getting “involved” helped raise the price a little bit which only tightens Orlando’s relationship with those connections … Never hurts …

RS still count against your number of 15.
It seems someones going to leave and must BU know. Im just curious as to who.
Notice Indy included Andrej
Rankin is not going to be on the roster … And I don’t believe he would count against the 15 because he’s on football scholarship …
Regardless … He’s not going to be playing basketball … Needs to be with Tank in the winter …
Unless he didn’t know what people were chanting, but Tomi beckoning with his hands while everyone chanted “Andrej” last night during the return announcement has me feeling optimistic fwiw
Expecting more news here soon.

Interesting....
I hope that's his choice, given the exit options he would have at his disposal.
I know better than to suggest that NCAA rules will apply in a way that makes sense, but the overall roster limit is pretty fundamental, otherwise you could be warehousing kids all over the place, and that's no good for anybody.
(Prediction: they will reduce the football roster limit sometime in the coming years to save everybody money and encourage parity)
As far as the Zens talk … If he comes, great … If he doesn’t, great …
If we’re being honest, the kid needs 2 years at least of development and even then … He’s probably not good enough to play here …
Hope he proves me wrong but I just don’t see Big Ten caliber at this point …
But I did hear it’s Utah State or here … Wisco is out …

I need to confirm on the roster status but I do not believe he would count …
Brad sure isn’t counting on him being on the roster … That I can say …
Where do you get 16 as of right now? Even if Andrej comes back which it appears. Still don’t know what Baghemi, Jackstys, Lee, or Rodgers are doing for certainty.
So was Zens visit was non commital? I dont need to check back for that then! Or at least 1 is gone.
Always appreciate your insight.

I thought a redshirt did not count toward a team's limit. I cannot count btw

Within the hour?
Am I crazy to feel like that bench would have a chance to finish .500 in the B1G? Probably crazy... but if Coleman and Morillo live up to their ratings... maybe not.
