IMO if he was even considering Illinois at this point there would be some smoke coming out of the Illinois camp and there is none again today. If he was torn between Illinois and either Purdue or Oregon he would at the least talk to Underwood and possibly make a quick, short trip to Champagne to...

This Tune-in Illini Network Stream carried every Illini game last season I believe. https://tunein.com/radio/Illinois-Fighting-Illini-Sports-Network-s231158/

Everything that I have read from the Coaches is they say Matic Vesel is more of a wing and not a player that looks to be a Big that will guard or play in the post much. Maybe in 3 years IMO ? So they really only have 3 true Bigs. In Finke he had a hard time guarding anyone in the lane or at the...

Just curious, who is Spicy G and his/her relationship to Landers ?

I believe he came from a recruiting trip in Chicago.

Everyone seems to make a lot of 3's against us, with the exception of VCU. LOL !

I just refreshed the cancel page and it changed to a ending date at the end of this month. No email here.

Not sure of the Juco rules, but if he is going to be at Illinois more than one year he better be real good as it would take a 2017 and 2018 scholarship. A good 5th year Big would probably be a better option unless they can get a Juco stud IMO.

Groce mentioned in one of his last press conferences I listened to that their recruiting priority is to add more Big's, or something along that line ?

I hope so too but I will believe it when I see it. Usually when something good is going to happen to Illinois, we all know ahead of time. I haven't seen any positive smoke that will happen as of yet. Just a lot of Hope.

Like I said days ago, Tate is going to play and Groce is going to use Abrams at the 2 a lot. It won't change until Illinois loses when the better Coaches will just not guard Tate and or play zone and cheat off Tate so they can double team any driver and our Center. Same thing they did last season.

It must be Kansas and Self's bagman J. Howard that has thrown a wrench into the recruitment would be my guess ?

You do know that a lot of the schools getting 5 Stars players that were mentioned above have Sucked for a long time right ? So just Winning doesn't explain why their recruiting has gone through the roof when they now have Coaches with a past history of being known cheats.

Wooten would be a long shot now that Arizona and Kansas has offered. He's already become a National recruit, so I doubt he happens. http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/216075/kenneth-wooten
