    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (April 2017)

    I'm from Chicago, coached in the CPL in the mid 2000s, and have a very close group of friends in coaching in the Chicagoland area and the STL/downstate IL area. Now I am in East Lansing and attend private MSU practices from time to time.

    Frazier Saw Frazier in person tonight. He had 22 first half points, sprained his ankle to open the 3rd quarter, then missed most of the 3rd. He was well on his way to 40, and I'm sure a comfortable victory. More importantly, he's a GREAT shooter, really good penetrator and shows star athlecism...
