I like trice’s motor, but the only college highlights I could find has sped up film
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (January-February 2018)

That's a lot of difficult conversations ahead.
We'd miss the size and this is pure speculation- but maybe MFinke wants take the grad transfer route and play with Tim at Grand Canyon for a year. Not saying he should or trying to run anyone off but brothers playing together in college might something they decided they want to do. IDK.

That's Walkon, not Robert, but I'm assuming they're of similar minds

Motion to strike this.
Maybe he's just that quick.
Second.
Has there been any legitimate smoke about Cunningham?
Trice is well traveled, started at MPHS (Nick knows him), transferred to Hales, then went last year to Moberly, and now at Wabash Valley. Nation's leading rebounder. Has never made a 3 in JUCO and shoots 53% FT's. Athleticism is off the charts. Would be a major upgrade to Ebo and Vesel. Dr. Dunk!!
I hope Trice jumps on that offer. I want our roster to hear footsteps.
The motion is called. Skip the vote, it is passed :thumb:
But more importantly, trice or Cunningham? Cunningham seems like he can score, but here only a year. Two for Trice, it seems limited offensively.
No problem on motion. No stink from me.
Trice is on slow play until others are resolved. No comparison ...Cunningham for the win easily.
Ayo is already signed.
Trice is interested and ultimately signs. Staff likes his motor and rebounding. Seems like a beefed up Ebo-type.
Jacobs is a back up plan to Tevian Jones and maybe even Luis Rodriguez. I like what I’ve seen on Jacob’s tape. Big upgrade to some of the athletes we have this year.
I love the vibes coming out of Ramey’s camp, but I’m not sure he pulls the trigger...he would be a great coup for Underwood and company if he signs.
No chance on Cunningham. If we are recruiting him, the staff is keeping all info close to the chest.
It is really strange to go into last Fall period with 3 "open" recruiting slots and only come out with 1 commitment and now talk of a total rebuild in Spring with a total class of 5 or 6. Not ideal. Staff must have really mis evaluated the THT, Castleton and Nolley situations.

No chance on Cunningham because you don't think he transfers? Or no chance on Cunningham because you think he'll go somewhere else?
Tevian Jones ain't happening, folks. With that said, I'd welcome Jacobs. Not the outside shooter we need, but we do need some kids with attitude.
I agree with you on Ramey. I just can't see him voluntarily signing up to play with a stud freshman PG in Frazier and a 5* incoming PG in Ayo.

I actually think Jacobs could be better than those two in time. just a shorter version. Motor seems better though imo.
Would believe miketherevelator would agree with what occurred with THT.

He's still enrolled at his current school, so they'd be smart to keep it close to the chest.. because it would be an NCAA violation to recruit him, correct me if I'm wrong.

Illinois is trending in the Crystal Ball for Demarius Jacobs.

Motion sustained.
Edit -- Nevermind, was thinking "Objection sustained." Nevertheless, I am in agreement with your motion. I see it has already been voted on and passed.

Dang. It's like my mind was transferred into Verified Insider. Literally every post you've made over the past couple days is exactly what I've been thinking!

Yup. I'm a doofus.
It would be great if recipients of offers responded the same day without the excruciating wait.
Trice and Jacobs would add immediate swagger, attitude and athleticism that has been missing. I seriously hope both commit to U of I.
Any talk surrounding Courtney Ramey lately? I mean, how awesome would that be?!?!
