Other than the fact that he's going to have to post up in the flow of the offense anyway, what makes you think they're selling him on playing the post?

Huh? I don't think that.

That is my point, there isn't a traditional 4 spot.
K. Read your post in the way opposite of what you intended.

I can't decipher this riddle.
Not worth continuing. We're on the same page.

That's good news, but I can't say I know what page that is.
One of you--no, make that both of you--had better start over.
Basically transfer talk is this thread,but, BU offense is 1-4, on perimeter, 5 is pivot/post. 1-4 cut, pick, and drive. Shooting is for all. Before 7 seconds.
AND, play SOLID D.

Scary good, top 25 in nation, top 5 B1G. Would have bench, looks good on paper. Like to see it on floor.
Agree he isn't much of a post player from what I have seen, but he sure could make our line up a lot more fun to think about lol

Another day passes with no news of any transfer. Is there anything we can even see to find 1 more big?;
You thought they were going to announce a grad transfer on a Sunday?
Amen....and hope that JCL and JP discussions subside too since they are non factors on Illini going forward.
Agree with that as well. I also have a feeling this thread wont be much news for us after this year,
Pittsburgh is going to stand their ground from what I have heard. He wants to go to UNC, but with Pitt not letting him things change.
Our staff is on this one, don't count us out just yet.

Have to love Kevin Stallings helping out his home state Illini.
"Hey kid I can't let you go to ACC schools but you should check out the Illini. They are starting to build something special again." - (Made up quote)

He is definitely playing chicken with Pittsburgh.

Back when he was a skinny guy with long blonde hair, Stallings chose Purdue over his home state school as I recall. Not so sure he'd be pointing anyone our way!
From what I have heard, Cam Johnson has visited very recently and it was supposed , and since Pitt will be standing their ground.
I think he will now only have 2 schools to choose from. Illinois, and Oregon.
With McIntosh likely to choose Oregon, I can see why Johnson may shy away.
Oregon is putting the full court press on both however, and they have a lot to sell.
OA is the reason we are back in this recruitment. Johnson is the best available transfer on the market, and OA has put us back in the mix.
Should hear more very soon.

Trying to not get too excited about this. Cup check complete.
This would be fantastic and a real jump start along with Alstork!!
Please get one more big!!
Like the idea, but I think keeping Cameron out of ACC is his main concern. Lol, he has too many problems at Pitt, as it is. Still can't believe they hired him at Pitt.
Maybe he hates NC as much as I do, bless him.

<li class="internal first">From May 5thTransfer season is in full swing. The full list is nearing 500 names, and more players are being added every day. All offseason long, we'll be tracking transfers in basketball's power conferences.
Who are the 10 best transfers on the market? And which players are coming or going from your school?
Top available transfers
1. Cameron Johnson, SF, RS Jr., Pittsburgh Panthers (graduate): Much of the intrigue with Johnson comes from his shooting ability (41.5 percent from 3-point range) and the fact he has two years of eligibility but can play right away (because of the redshirt year). He visited Kentucky and is also expected to see Ohio State, Arizona, UCLA and Oregon.
2. Mark Alstork, SG, RS Jr., Wright State Raiders: The 6-foot-5 Ohio native averaged 19.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists last season and has numerous high-major suitors. Alstork will visit Pittsburgh, Georgetown, South Carolina, Illinois, Louisville and LSU.
3. C.J. Bryce, SG, So., UNC Wilmington Seahawks: A late addition to the transfer market, Bryce led UNCW to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances and was named first-team All-CAA after averaging 17.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists. There's a good chance Bryce follows former UNCW coach Kevin Keatts to NC State, but he also visited South Carolina.
4. Dejon Jarreau, G, Fr., Massachusetts Minutemen: Jarreau and AAU teammate Brison Gresham both left UMass, and are likely to play together at their next stop. Jarreau is a former ESPN 100 prospect who averaged 9.8 points and 4.5 assists as a freshman. Jarreau and Gresham are down to Creighton, Oklahoma, Seton Hall and UConn.
5. Tevin Mack, SF, So., Texas Longhorns: Mack was in the midst of a breakout sophomore season (14.8 points), but was dismissed from the Longhorns -- after already being suspended earlier in the season. Things are very quiet on his end right now, but Mack did visit Alabama earlier this week.
6. Vance Jackson, SF, Fr., Connecticut Huskies: One of several players to leave UConn this spring, and an ESPN 100 prospect out of high school, Jackson averaged 8.1 points as a freshman. Baylor and Washington are involved, and he will visit Rutgers.
7. MiKyle McIntosh, PF, RS Jr., Illinois State (graduate): McIntosh declared for the NBA draft, but will take the graduate transfer route if he returns to school. There have been several schools mentioned including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Maryland. The 6-foot-7 Canada native averaged 12.5 points and 5.6 rebounds this past season.
8. Juwan Durham, PF, Fr., Connecticut Huskies: A former ESPN 100 prospect, Durham didn't carve out a consistent role with the Huskies. But a year off to develop could do wonders for him. Durham will visit Notre Dame, and Virginia Tech is also making a strong push.
9. Miles Wilson, SG, Fr. Mt. St. Mary's Mountaineers: Wilson had a solid first season in the Northeast Conference, averaging 11.8 points and 3.9 rebounds. But his recruitment has taken off since announcing his departure, with Penn State and Miami scheduling visits and Kentucky among the other schools to show interest.
10. James Daniel, SG, RS Jr., Howard Bison: Daniel only played two games this past season because of an ankle injury, but he averaged 27.1 points during the 2015-16 season and scored almost 2,000 points over his first three seasons at Howard. He recently visited DePaul, and has trips scheduled to Ohio State, Tennessee and Michigan.

I recall Johnson and McIntosh only ones left on the list, at one point, didn't think we'd be talking about a chance getting either. Say we get, either, and Greg eboigbodin, I would think that would be the roster for the 2017-18 Illini.
I don't think McIntosh is considering Illinois. Probably the best outcome would be if he goes to Oregon and gives us a better shot at Johnson.
Thought McIntosh was still interested with MN, unless they're full.
