    Yeah he is an important piece to our future team building elements here. Cole's all-around game + his skill, makes him somebody who... whether he is starting or coming off the bench, he could have a huge impact on the game on a lot of different levels! We don't really want him getting too...

    He would have averaged 30pg - 20rbs and Mayer would not have imploded off of monster energy drinks! Kofi would have smashed every can up against his skull!!

    No. It's five by my count if you add the two from 2028 who are visiting and are potential reclass options, but I feel like I'm forgetting someone... 24/7 unfortunately does not have Dylan Betts listed for a visit on their site yet, but I'm pretty sure he is visiting the same weekend as MK. But...

    To answer your question yes, it's in the works. Or I should say "they are" in the works. We're looking at options from the H.S. ranks, portal, and oversees currently that the staff is working and actively monitoring, and will be throughout the season.

    According to Wikipedia "Terrence Shannon Jr. was named a 3rd-team All-American by the Associated Press (AP) and received 2nd-team All-American honors from select outlets like 247Sports and CBS Sports." Coaches had him 2nd team I think, but we here at Illinois, all know that TSJ was really the...

    Heard Werner talking on a podcast yesterday that Illinois has 4 five-star visits lined up for this fall, but he forgot one. Last I knew, Dylan Betts is also a five-star who is taking an Official visit here next month, who could also reclassify.

    I like LD as a future 3 instead of 4. He has nice size, a great shot, and a good feel for the game... Add some strength and quickness/agility to him and he is a very intriguing 3 prospect imo.

    This is a big-time visit! Tifwiw, but I'm told this is Brad's favorite big regardless of class, and he and OA are going to go all out to land this kid! They see him as Mirk 2.0, his replacement next year hopefully after he's drafted... Wabbington is so skilled and such an elite passer, the...

    Something about this Jan. 1st visit hasn't been sitting right with me. Cal is known to plan reclasses out well in advance of anyone else knowing about it, so why would all the other visits be in Sept/Oct and this one in January 🤔 this has got me thinkin...
