DaMonte. But that's accompanied by the biggest change from the status quo. IOW, far from a sure bet that he'll be able to reach his potential.

Can you be more specific? What do you like about his game that gives him that potential? Does he have many similarities to his dad?

We offered Thomas Allen at the end of June.

He must of had a good summer, unranked on 247, but recent offers from us, NCState, Xavier, Texas A&M, Nebraska, & Cincinnati.

See him listed as a sg and pg...with Frazier on board I sort of doubt he still has an offer.

TFord probably telling him he'll be the pg because he just got a wing to commit.

He has great size (for a college PG, anyway), very good frame, very good athleticism. Can get to the rack. Needs to work on his J, handles and running an offense. On his HS team, they rely on his size, so he really doesn't play PG. He has a big transition to make. It almost for sure won't happen overnight. But his toolset is tantalizing, as is his pedigree.

DMW isn't nearly the PG that his dad was at this stage. Hopefully, that will change.

If Allen ends up at SLU, he and Goodwin are going to be a big time scoring duo in the backcourt. Hate to say it, but they could start turning things around quickly at SLU (obviously a bad thing for UI from a future recruiting standpoint).

Looks like Kiir is retweeting a few pro-Illini tweets! We've seen this before, I know, but this year seems different! With the four we already have in the fold I'm taking off the cup, and it feels good! :shield:

I agree, his mix tapes look good. Looks a little uncoordinated scoring wise, but a monster on defense.... What are we missing here, why under recruited and why under rated on the rankings. Not that those matter but what are we missing? I assume hes just a very average scorer? 10-13 PPG?
