Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
Saw a report that was posted in the last hour Zavier Zens has postponed his decision until Friday.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up …
Hoping this means we get Blackwell....
Probably in the minority -- this wouldn't exactly make sense to me. Vaaks is a primary ball handler; so is Cox. In that case, would rather give those starting reps to Coleman and look for somebody off the bench.
Of all the names brought up here, I think McNeil is the only Blackwell consolation that truly makes sense.
you are misunderstanding me
i have no issues with him wanting to stay . but he isn’t going to play much , jf at all
for his sake , he should transfer down , if he wants to play in games .
see Leib , Brandon
I think we rode that one already but a bigger one came along so we grabbed onto it

So you are suggesting Dre needs a father figure to help him? Were you thinking of George Michael from Wham?Ideally we retain Dre (plus get Blackwell) and Dre just finds someone he can trust that knows a thing or two about shooting mechanics to improve his 3 pt%
Maybe a hot take … Maybe not …
If you’re a development piece and you’re playing games like dragging out the commitment and all that … Red flag …
I love that on this board you can see portents of doom over not recruiting an all-conference level veteran transfer to play 12 mpg off the bench, right along side recriminations and blame when the freshman we played 25 mpg in the back half of the season transfers because we didn't play him enough. In LoyaltyLand, minutes are irrelevant to recruitment, the sole factor effecting retention, and an inexhaustible resource!
Insiders might also be tired from providing continuous Blackwell updates.
Maybe we told him we may or may not have a spot. We will know more Friday. I pulled that out of the air BTW.

Insiders: what are your crystal balls for where Ty, Petro and Bilic will land?

Can we finish Andre already so we can have a bunch of booms for the night and stop arguing about whether JJ is gonna play minutes or why we aren’t trying to convince a good athletic big that he should come here for 5 minutes a game when our bigs foul out twice next year
…then we can pickup the Blackwell stuff in the AM
