Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
You can’t trick me! Arizona does not border the ocean. /s
Wonder if our overseas add could be from SC DERBY.

It’s harder for KU when everyone can pay players and your in a league with better competition.
Make another final 4 with Duke at home and maybe kids will figure out Scheyer ain't it

excerpt from article:
Martin: "...we have learned one very important thing, he could be one of the best shooters in the class of 2027. Martin is armed with an absolute strap from deep and needs little time or space to let it fly from deep. He was torching the nets from deep all day while making a combined 16 threes in two games while going for 32 and 26 points."
I think it's safe to say that we took Martin on his own merits, not because he's Kelly's running mate
Homecoming 2019
- Chicago
Gonna need an explanation on the Mich love here, seen them all over preseason lists. Guess I'm not buying their comeback after losing 3 - 1st rounders. Though maybe I'm a lot lower on Cadeau than most people.
Has KB moved on and just wants to focus on professional ball?
For now, yes. I think that could very much change if the 5/5 is passed and seniors are allowed back.
Sounded like they were bigger on Brady Pettigrew who’s already visited.

I feel like Morillo is a bigger downgrade from Ben than Vaaks is from Wagler.
I'll never claim to be the sharpest tack in the drawer, but this statement is baffling. I don't think Morillo was recruited or intended to be a Humrichous replacement. Other than Morillo being tall for a guard, their games are not really comparable.

Last season's bench: Davis, Humrichous, Z
(Andrej was literally our second best player, so for all intends and purposes, I'll count him as a starter)
This season's bench: Davis, Morillo, Z
Their games may be (vastly) different, but the only "replacement" there is Humrichous for Morillo.
They both play basketball so there's a similarity.
Respectfully to Ben, he was awesome this year, but Morillo has way more basketball talent.
Morillo is a guard and Ben is a PF? Why compare! Apples to oranges
Btw, Vaaks as a sophomore could put up Keaton numbers this year playing on a much more talented team.
At this point we really can’t call anyone a downgrade. Might want to predict less and actually wait and see how things look once our season starts!
What a weird statement. Morillo wasn’t recruited to replace Ben.
Every single Underwood team has its own identity and sub-composition.
Absolutely no reason for any 3rd year player who can go to the combine to sit it out. Great coaching, great feedback, experience through the process, and elite competition.
These guys won’t be just getting work in, they will be playing to impress. Not your average scrimmages.
There is absolutely nothing else he could do over the next few weeks that will make him a better player than going to the combine.
