    Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

    Was looking at the previous recruiting thread about starters for next year. It is assumed that Hawkins will leave but if he's not a 2nd round pick, and it's looking like he might not be, wouldn't returning be a very strong option for him? NIL money for him would be very competitive with his...

    Why? A good fantasy life has no limitations.

    Everyone one is theorizing that someone will leave but isn't it even more likely that the whole NIL/portal deal is about to take another dramatic shift: adding a 14th guy (or more) through NIL deals.

    The funny part is that the whole time the insiders were talking and we were worrying there was really only one thing to pay attention to-whether Flagler returned to Baylor.

    That's pretty impressive. Shades of Trent Frazier.

    It looks like Tyger Campbell stayed in the draft and one mock I saw had him as the 94th best player. Meanwhile our guys came back while rated in 30s or 40s. I wonder what he's seeing.

    Honestly, how many of us had ever heard of him before he emerged on this board as a possibility? He isn't even in consideration on NBA draft boards. The idea that he's the difference between heaven and hell seems far-fetched. We don't need his scoring so the real key is whether we have someone...

    I'm wondering if BU might try the balls out press with so many good players looking for minutes. I got the impression in the past that he likes the idea but never had the depth at guard before.

    Twitter is lighting up the insiders. LOL My view is that it was all good information but even if it was BU himself on here nothing can be guaranteed until they sign. We knew all about Dennis long before he was in the portal and I've never even heard of him before. That was strictly because of...

    That sounds great but he treated Illinois like a joke when he had a chance to come-saying the visit was just his mom's idea. Shouldn't even be in the conversation here.

    His time would be better spent with someone who can propagate titillating rumors.

    That's funny but, as a resident of NYC, I disagree with him. I find NYC pizza to be unbelievably greasy. It's almost impossible to avoid indigestion. NYC residents view it as being some sort of 'purity' issue, but they are equally looked down upon by real Italians. I love Chicago pizza.
