    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (April 2017)

    Tilmon is a big boy and can make his own decisions. I always thought he really wasn't on the Illini band wagon any way. If it is keeping Groce to keep Tilmon or Underwood I will take the new coach. I would bet Underwood isn't sitting at home watching cartoons all the time. He will find us some...

    Do not post a-lot on here but always put my 2 cents in on the Kiir fellow. Sure hope our coach gives him a call. Would be a heck of a class if we could land him.

    2017 Coaching Carousel

    This brings up another thing on my mind the last few years when it comes to our recruiting. Now don't get me wrong I have had enough of Groce and his style of basketball coaching. And I will take talent over coaching when it comes down to making a good team. I believe Izzo said a good team is 75...

    Game Thread: Illinois vs Minnesota

    Can you tell me why Groce would take Kipper out after Hill makes 2 quick fouls and Kipper gets on a role? Guess Kipper was playing to good.

    2017 Coaching Carousel

    What do you think of this. I am finally on the train to let Groce go. I have seen enough of his type of basketball to go another way. I was in favor of letting him finish out the season but have been thinking something different lately. I think that we need to fire him the next loss we have...

    When Kiir visited you hardly new it on this board. Everybody had Wilkes mania at the time. Be a sad deal if we miss out on both of them. And yes Mayan does like attention like he has said. Love to see Mayan playing for the Illini.

    Did Mayan visit this weekend? I was wondering if Mayan came this weekend. Been gone all weekend and just checked Loyalty didn't see a whole lot about him. Sure hope he doesn't check out Loyalty very much for little I have heard about him being here.I think the kid likes attention for what I...

    I am with you on this one. Hope They can get him to commit . Just love the potential Kiir has. That turn around jumper he has would be about impossible to guard.

    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (September 2016)

    Yes I am with you on this kid. We have recruited some outstanding players but this guy excites me as much as any of them of the raw potential he has. Could play the middle or the PF spot very well. Would like to see him and Tilmon on the floor at the same time once in a while. Wouldn't be close...

    Mayan Kiir First time posting but along time follower. I have only seen this fellow on you tube but he really got me excited for what I saw. I hope Groce and company put out the red carpet for this kid. You can see the all around potential that he has. Still a little raw but what a good coach...
