My speculation would be that there is a renegotiation taking place these days.

This was the only chair left after the injury.

I'm hearing DePaul for Negron which would probably be a good fit for him.

We'll find out in a few years since he's probably going to Iowa

You've made your opinion known many times on both boards. It's my opinion that he's better than Williams, Jordan and Nichols. We'll have to revisit this discussion in 2-3 years. Loser buys the winner a drink. Also I usually agree with you and I'm a bit biased because he's a great kid who's...

Negron isn't coming here and I agree that we need a true big or roll over the scholarship. Christian is going to be an excellent player somewhere and is a better player than several wings on the current roster.

He's going to be an excellent player somewhere as a junior and senior. I hope it's not at Iowa

And Negron

Jalen Shaw is a legit 6'8" class of 2018 from Larkin. Very thin at this time but pretty skilled. He might be someone to watch moving forward.

I've been told by a couple people that Illinois leads for Negron at this point. With the other offers out and how his ranking has dropped, I wonder if the staff would accept a commitment.

Lewis is 6'5" 170 lb - I don't think he's a 4

I've see Negron many times and most often he gets a lot done. On defense, rebounding and shot blocking. His offense is a work in progress but he's a very hard worker and very athletic. I don't know if he's big enough to be a power forward in the BIG 10 though. I don't know anything about...

You may be correct that he would be better at a quality mid-major but I haven't seen evidence that we can do "a lot better" than him other than Black. He's not a great offensive player but he's very athletic and an excellent rebounder and defender. This team needs to get much more athletic IMO.

I've spoken to him personally on a number of occasions and I can assure you that he isn't close to committing to Illinois or anywhere else. When I ask him what schools he is interested in, Illinois comes in 4th or 5th. I'm 100 percent sure that his offer is "committable"

Negron has visited Iowa, Wisconsin, DePaul and Butler but not Illinois. That tells you all you need to know about his interest.
