the new trend seems to be to have one guy play out their Illini career per recruiting class, lol
2019 - Kofi
2020 - Hawkins
2021 - Goode
2022 - Rodgers vs. Harris???

#4 has a legit ceiling of moving to #1 on the list as it exists now.

Imagine being told when this pic was taken which guy would be an nba draft pick in 2023
Tyson Degenhart - Boise St.?
Nothing like motorboating in the sunshine...
Remember when we ONLY had good wings? Now that’s what we are missing the most

#4? Since when? I was only aware of 3...I am really behind on reading this board...
Is this the best hint yet? Anderson did recruit Tyger while he was at DePaul, and Tyger was at LaLumiere

Does RJ have teams interested in him already? I'm sure some back channelling has been happening. Assume hell have a similar role or less to what he would have had here...
I live that Coleman's dad is trash talking Luke in the comments.. that's some connectivity there.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
The fact he only has 3 fully-formed fingers probably explains the awful shooting.

There was once something called a Student Athlete. Note that the word Student always came first. Implying you were foremost a student and the athlete part came as a result of the state of being a student. But we know that for the athletes of big revenue-producing College programs, that quaint notion left the station a long time ago.
What we have now are Athlete Students. Or some cynics might say... Athletes. Not for all, of course, as wise young people will always treasure the value of an education that will set them up for Life away from the field of battle.
‘An Education’ has traditionally been about preparing one for Life to make a living. For the top College athletes that means making money playing your sport, aka Professionalism. Just like most all other students that will quickly become professionals in their given chosen fields of endeavor away from sports.
So today we have the top College athletes doing just that... getting a head start on being the athletes they desire to be while making bucks doing that. Sort of like a paid Apprenticeship?
Fans that are fiercely loyalty to their School and their traditions have reasons beyond sports to have those emotional connections. So many fans view all this from a personal lens of an Institution meaning more than sports contests.
But for many young athletes today, they just don’t see things that way. They have their own reasons for being there as long as they choose to be. And one place might just like any other. Or even better.
It is the job of the modern-day fan to cheer on whomever wants to put on the uniform today of your favorite team knowing that some will be gone tomorrow.
Fan loyalty to their Beloveds can be the same. Playing sports and games is the same. It’s just that motives are just more out in the open now.
Abmas still has college eligibility? Dang, that'll be a big get for someone.
The problem is these players think the grass is greener on the other side. Who's to say the new school after a year they just recruit someone over you?

Well, are you going to follow Tim Anderson or not? That’s my burning question.
Feels like Tyger would only come to the Illini if he knew TSJ and Hawkins are coming back for one more year, otherwise with this roster construction, location, and just chances of winning he would have much better options at other places.
