Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (January-March 2016)

[rtbritt]

It's appropriate when it's 5 recruits in what could be a game changing class. This really shouldn't be controversial.

So we are on the same page. :thumb:

Everything is controversial on Illinois Loyalty.

Michigan had a poor man's version of this Fab Five:

This is the only post that made this useless debate over semantics worth it. :thumb:

As long as all 5 can come together and make a fist... That's all that really matters.

 

[Hands Malone]

I would like to see someone mention ball-in-the-basketness and passingness and defenseness

I would go for winningness.

:clappy::clappy::clappy: You Sir have a great memory.. Congrats

 

[TCTORNADO]

Painter has been into see Eastern twice in the last month.

 

[Chilliniwek]

I would go for winningness.

And also meaningness...

 

[Gomers Pile]

Give me Tilmon and Goodwin and you can call it four brothers minus Mr. Thumb for all I care.

Why doesn't the staff seem to be all in on Eastern?

 

[ivwilsoniv]

Also, can we please stop calling him "Tillman"?

Could be a matter of priorities. Already have JCL, AJ and DJW as perimeter players in 2015, Lucas coming in 2016, Williams committed for 2017 and working on Goodwin as well.

Who's doing that?

 

[BirdDog9048]

Who's doing that?

Way too many people over the last few days. It was starting to bother me as well. :tsk:

 

[IAmChrisFarley]

Williams is committed.

 

[TCTORNADO]

Williams is committed.

Pickett, too.

 

[WesterveltVictoryCigar]

Pickett, too.

:doh:

 

[alaskaillini]

Well then would you classify it as a Rich Man's Fab 5? Because if it isn't a poor man's.......

It can't be a rich man's fab five because we will not have paid the same price to get them.

Guess I just haven't noticed it here

101 in the regional semi-final? Wowzer.

I say Monday, it it is not a dead period, Jamal takes Lovie and JG down to the Stag city and offer Goodwin a home as a tight end/small forward for four years.

No sheet, Gooch looked like he was twenty five when he was a frosh. He should help SIU.
