Looks like its time to build a wall around Chalmers.
Yeah, I think he should be the basketball, and football coach!

Unfortunately there's just kinda no two ways around the fact that Feliz doesn't have any other offers.
If he's coming I say bienvenidos y buena suerte, but I wouldn't be expecting a cornerstone type contributor.
If we're after a 6'8" high school guy, sounds like Hinson is still in play.
We’ll get Miznoz to pay for it.
Illinois will host 2018 Oak Hill forward Maurice Calloo for an official visit next Friday, per source

So we're going to be out of official visits for a year in about a month at this rate unless Underwood knows something we dont.
Does Matic stay or go?
I'm wondering if Feliz's academic issues aren't causing some schools to back off. Is everything in order there?
I'd love to get insight from someone who follows youth international basketball. At that event, he played against Serbia, Greece, Korea, Italy, Argentina, Tunisia, and Iran. Do those countries have some of the best U19 talent in the world? Maybe a couple do, but I wish he would have played against the US. I know how good team was (Brunson, Giles, Tatum, Jaren Jackson...).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbH-PVzFY7QBrad and the staff are not messing around. Now offical for Maurice Calloo. Who by the way has not visited anyone else. Takes Black spot sounds good to me. Hopefully Matic still leaves to open up another spot. Like I said in a previous post sould be young and fun to watch next fall. In Brad we trust Make Illni great again.
For the the best JUCO PG you can sign, go to The General and save some time!
I’ll show myself out.

Also, can someone explain the OV rules?
Bingo, this is the key. NCAA ruled him ineligible at USF due to OA's brother being involved in academic fraud. If 2 years later the NCAA has not forgiven and qualified him, then all is not good. I would imagine he spends a lot of time with admissions during his visit.
24 official visits to hand out from April 1st 2017 to April 1st 2019.
We were down to 10 going into this weekend. Add feliz and Griffin brings us down to 8. Still have to figure in hinson/ramey/oak hill kid and any 5th years to take that number down. We're running pretty low unless there are rules around it.

That Calloo visit came out of nowhere. I didn't even think we were seriously in on him. Hope that doesn't mean we are out on Hinson, who I really liked.
As for Feliz's lack of other offers, I'm wondering how much it has to do with other teams simply not wanting to waste their time on recruiting a kid who once committed to OA when OA is again recruiting him and he's reciprocated interest? Similar to the bluebloods not really getting involved with Ayo since I'm sure they knew the strong connections we already had there and he was almost a given to sign with us. I fully expect that if Feliz's visit goes well he's ours.
There are team that have contacted him, including:
SMU
Dayton
Rutgers
Loyola Chicago
UAB
Gulf Coast University
UW Milwaukee
Akron
Tidbit: He was originally recruited by Louisville (just like Ramey) before he selected to play for Antiqua.
We will never be a team that plays more than 10 players and likely rotations are typically 9. So 3-4 players will be long-term projects or practice players. I have no issue giving Matic further time to develop. He was our tallest player last season and towards the end of the season I saw improvement. Still think the lights were too bright and the game was too fast for him last season. But I think he will either contribute at practice or in games next season. You will never have 13 players who are 4 and 5 stars, even the high 3 will bolt if not given playing time.
This was my thinking as well. Seemed like, from the first mention of El General, that he was likely earmarked for UI.As for Feliz's lack of other offers, I'm wondering how much it has to do with other teams simply not wanting to waste their time on recruiting a kid who once committed to OA when OA is again recruiting him and he's reciprocated interest?
