I believe the Memo from the NBA said it could happen as early as 2021, but that shouldn't be a factor in Miller's recruitment. The only trade that wouldn't be squared away by then would be Phillys swap of Mikal Bridges for Zhaire Smith and a 2021 1st rounder. All other completed deals regarding picks in the 1st round would be resolved by then.

Interesting one. Would be a December addition that could help us right away. That being said, there's a decent chance he doesn't make it to Oct 5th without a commitment.
Its been said he wants to redshirt, not sure on the source though

Bringing Guerrier on board for the 2nd half of the season would definitely make me way more optimistic. He could get minutes immediately at the 4. 247 has him at 48 overall but his composite is way lower cause rivals sucks now.
I would have to think immediate playing time would be one of our pitches.

I don't trust anyone that spells their name G-e-o-f-f.

Perhaps needless to say, landing Guerrier would be enormous. He's the type of player who can lift the program.

His parents probably had a lot to do with it.

Anyone better than Underwood's average recruit ranking in the low 200's is enormous.

A bit ago in another thread, some folks were talking about GIF kings. I was surprised your name didn't come up. You, my friend, are the GIF king.
Member when you were pining for Amadou Sow, ranked 223rd? Or when you said JCL & Finke would have us contending for a conference title?

No, it's not. Not even remotely close.

Reading that profile has helped me recognize the similarities between the words "Champaign" and "campaign." There's a single-season slogon in there somewhere. UIUC marketing department: PM me for the mailing address for my royalty checks.
Haha, remember I included Black, too.
2018 average recruit ranking: 231
2017 average recruit ranking: 219 without Matic, if you count his the same ranking as Ebo, it drops to 277
I wish we had him.
Giving a kid an official visit, losing him to UC Santa Barbara, and then running out of official visits is low-key maybe the craziest tidbit of the Underwood era.

Missed my point. Namely, that TCTORNADO's contention that anyone higher rated than low 200s would be an enormous get.
Weak...we sign a couple reach bigs late in the first year that way ups that number, so using an obviously squeed number...

Check out post #1 in this thread. Dan updates it as OV get announce.
That would be a fine point if we had anything other than late reach bigs.
I'm a midwestern Protestant and as such generally approve of austerity, but part of me definitely says use 'em or lose 'em. I'm not sure a powerpoint and big cookie would have been enough to distract Okoro from how badly our facilities suck.
It's my understanding that his composite is low because at least one of the services does not rank Canadians. I think he's pretty much a consensus top-50 guy, and would be a great start to our 2018.5 recruiting class.
