Seriously, I thought that right away when Hamilton and Battle were hurting. We were already at a significant size disavantagage and with those two ailing, we were like a Jr High School team. Jens absolutely would have helped us )at least in that game).

Good thing we had old Eat N Sleep there.
in that game maybe so but had he stayed we more then likely wouldn't have been in that game. I remember the other players saying a few year after , that the best thing that happened for them , was Jens leaving so they could play fast. Jens was addition by subtraction

Remembers when...

No doubt. The legends being spun about Legion's prowess were bordering on something out of a national epic. I remember when he first stepped on the court and thinking "does this guy even pass?" Attempted a 3 nearly every time he received the ball, no matter where or how well he was guarded.

Calipari in to see 5* PG Javonte Smart (2017) today
Some question as to whether Smart is an '018 or '017 but I still think the UK ship has sailed on Smith.

-I'm predicting Smith commits here by Monday at the latest.
-Not sure Dr. DJ has a source or not but i do find it interesting that some recruits like Ayo and Mark Smith follow him.

I think he commits tomorrow, If told they will be done with Guards for the year
I also think he commits tomorrow, but I also think Charlie Moore might join the party, here soon.

Smith or Moore for Pickett and Bragg for Tilmon. I'd make that trade.

In BU we trust

Remind me, would Moore be eligible right away or have to sit a year? Not sure cause he said he wanted to be closer to his father who had a medical history. But then again, it's not like Kansas is close whatsoever.

Final Top 247 listed....some of these "drops" are amazing, on the + 207, 215, 219 are all open and undecided.
How about some Pooh Bear...imagine the chants...http://www.omaha.com/neprepzone/bas...cle_e2145aa0-24ba-11e7-99f7-93eea363cd80.html

Mark Smith at 137 is just incorrect.

He'd have to sit. Medical hardship waiver isn't a thing anymore

Frazier at 139, too.
Still missing out on a 5 this year then.
Get your game face on coach. Get Orange Krush and Marching Illini in State Farm with the lights off with Kendall Gill at center court holding jersey #13 in the spotlite. Hit the lights with Orange Krush going nuts and the band striking it up.
Not that stealth..Piper reported the Bragg interest back on the 8th

Agree. Bragg as a 22,23 year old man is going to be a really good player. That one year off to bulk up a little bit and mature is going to be huge for him.
probably the best #137 in history...I want this kid even if they call him #300+++!!!
That slot needs a name attached to it though. The Khalid Lewis of bigs won't help us all that much, we'd be better off with a freshman.
Agreed. If we can get an impact grad transfer that increases the odds of an NCAA bid then go for it. If it is a minimal impact we are better off with a freshman and strengthening the future of the program.
