You don't recruit guys to play 10 minutes a game by the time they are juniors at a position we are loaded at it is a waste of a scholarship.
How many of our recruits "stand out" when playing with a "bunch of high major D1 players"?
Did DJW stand out? Did Mike Finke stand out? Did AJ stand out? How about Kipper? Tate?
None of them did. Heck, MH had a good high school career but as a recruit did even he "stand out" on a court with High major D1 players? Probably not.

I like Chastain. Would be fine with him coming to Illinois. But as a high school player, Hill was far superior. I saw Hill a lot in high school, and he was big time.
He would have averaged 35 against the level of competition that Leroy played, IMO.
Bradley? So he can lose 27 games again? I wouldn't wish that on anyone. At least Illinois State is winning.

As an Illini fan, I don't think I'd be discouraging a promising recruit from going to a program that's currently struggling in favor of one who's had better performance lately or we won't have any recruits.
Oh I know Hill was superior, I was just saying using that as a pre-req for offering might not be the best idea. MH was smooth in high school but has improved a ton just to "stand out" amongst high level D1 athletes. His hard work has paid dividends.
But I disagree totally about him averaging 35. He passed the ball too much and would have been sitting the entire fourth quarter against that competition. That is always what happens when you are that good. Stats don't adjust for sitting out a quarter or two per game. In 1A, other teams would have had 3 kids on him when he crossed the half line and he would have passed to the open man. I saw him make some great passes in high school.

Yeah...I'm not discouraging him from going anywhere. By the way, Illinois is not in any way like Bradley.
Anyways, I haven't found anywhere that Illinois is even looking at Chastain so can we please talk about recruits that Illinois is actually recruiting?
So Wednesday huh...
If you're talking about my haircut appointment, then yes you are correct. :thumb:
Between isu, Bradley and DePaul.
Seriously though, I believe he has a Utah offer. As of right now that's where I'd expect him to go.
If you're into that whole brevity thing.
I'm not going to hop out of bed any faster that day, I'll say that. The timing of this alleged commitment doesn't make any sense to me.
Tillman has a national tournament to play this weekend. Nothing is going to happen before that.
That's what I thought as well.
The insider hasn't posted since making me wonder how confident they are if they truly are an insider.

For every 100 insiders, there are only 1 or 2 true insiders. Just a fact that I made up.
We sure their are any insiders??
