    Illinois Football Recruiting Thread

    Correct but I was more wondering if it could be done or if anyone has tried it.... I'm aware the staff knows how many scholarships they have but I'm more thinking if we were to be full when camp started or around then and someone came available that is at a position of need and it was basically...

    I know their is an issue with how many scholarships we have remaining..... Hear me out though, does it really matter with NIL money whether they are on scholarships or not?? Cant we make them a walk-on and pay them enough NIL to cover it? Legit random thought I had and I know scholarship...

    This is what I'm referring to. Seems like players are tight and dribbling the ball off their feet n rhythm seems off on shots as if they are tired...Just an observation that it almost seems like players are a little over worked.

    I love me some Fletch but doesn't it seem like since he has been here our teams cant shoot the ball very well as a whole??? I just remember so many times over the years saying after the game if we would just make more of our open shots we would have won..... Our offense just seems to suck...

    Thinks as long as we rebound and stop the from scoring on fast breaks or in transition we win this game. Watched a few of their games and they get a lot of fast break points and easy buckets. Slow them down into their half court and they STRUGLE.... They also don't block out or fight for...

    Why is Indiana a projected 4 seed and we are an 8??? they beat Purdue twice we beat Ucla and Texas so that cancels out. We both have the same overall record and conference record. Maybe their strength of schedule? We have alot of common losses....

    Any one have the number of games missed by "Starters" this year. One could assume Sky, Goode, Epps, Shannon who else missed games?

    About the only effect the IU game had last night on our game Saturday is possible fatigue. Late away game Weds night with a short turnaround for an early Saturday morning game. Plus an exhausting come back then to have them hit a dagger and win it. Need some early momentum in this game. Will...

    Before the Wisconsin game I said I would like to win 12 (or more) out of the last 17 games. So far we are 4-1. Lets hope Tuesdays home game is win number 5!

    Things I would like to see the rest of the year. Play lose, Play confident, Play hard.... Overall I have a good feeling about tomorrow, no clue why but think we are due for a game when the open shots fall!
