Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (January-March 2016)

[Newman]

Just saw that Manual went down. Did DaMonte show up in the second half?

Oh god, MOB is going to have a field day with this one.

No.

He even predicted this upset, so yeah, there'll be no shutting him up.

 

[Bomb Squad 217]

Manual is really poorly coached and the refs took DaMonte out of most the game.

I don't remember the first one, but the last 2 of his fouls were just dumb. Da'Monte took himself out of the game. Got to play smarter than that.

I know one was definitely a dumb one. The others....

Do you guys remember how great Frankie's hands were? Remember how Serg and Frank would just pick-pocket guys out of nowhere? Quickest hands on defense I've ever seen at U of I. It doesn't look like DaMonte has the same hands, but it's not fair, he's not playing against the same caliber of players in practice everyday.

 

[stuemke5]

No.

That's being kind. He was nonexistent.

 

[BlindLoyalty]

Williams was a no show today. Manual isn't very impressive when transition points are taken away.

 

[Deleted member 10676]

That's being kind. He was nonexistent.

Didn't even want to answer the original question, but more like this. Night and Day from Tuesday night. He was the same way at Pontiac, two superb games and two where he wasn't really into it.

 

[Illininer]

Manual was completely outcoached.

 

[stuemke5]

Goodwin has done more in 4 minutes than Williams in the whole game. Aggressive on the glass. Good D so far

Goodwin is crazy active but 0 for 5 on free throws. Yuck.

Yeah he (and Althoff as a whole) are very poor from the charity stripe. Goodwin shot FTs at a tick over 50% this season.

 

[stuemke5]

Goodwin with 10 points, 12 rebounds plus a block and couple assists in first half

 

[Prsh]

Goodwin has 12 rebounds already and it's not even halftime. Very impressed so far.

Walker for St Josephs looks very good for a freshman.

 

[stuemke5]

That move by towers was sick!

 

[Bomb Squad 217]

Goodwin is the real deal. Rako looks solid as well.

Sigh. Hope we can keep the kids we have

 

[mdonsbach]

And don't want Rako because of his attitude right?

 

[illynifan34]

Right.
