I don't have any doubts Goodwin will be an Illini. Illini will wait until his birthday in October for a commitment, because they know he is coming. None of the other programs should wait, and likely not wait.

First off, shoes vs no shoes.
Secondly, after last season's injury woes, don't wish that they could all play together on the same Illini team. It just might happen.

Hope you're right.

Goodwin, Frazier/Scruggs, and one of the PF/Cs is the dream finish for this class and the chances of it happening are actually reasonable.

Tidal wave of July Crystal Balls for Louisville in the Malik Williams sweepstakes: http://247sports.com/PlayerInstitut...Nelson-Snider-138123/CurrentExpertPredictions. Doesn't mean squat, but our positioning with Kiir strengthens dramatically if the 'Ville is out.

Luck and fortune are such a big part of recruiting. I feel bad for Groce and the terrible luck he has had at times with recruiting. I am a big fan of going bold in life. Our coach has done it and gotten burned. This class has seen the Tilmon gamble pay off big. Here's to hoping that 3 more schollies are filled in a way that makes others say "how the hell did Illinois do that?".

#Illini in the top 8 for 6-foot-10 big man Victor Uyaelunmo. Illinois will push for an official visit.

Pretty impressive offer list for a three star guy. Are these "potential based" offers or do the ratings folks have it all wrong?

And after further review, rivals has him with three stars, 24/7 with four...and completely different offer lists.

Signed, completely confused.

Gotta land another (true) big in this class. My list:

1A) Kiir and Epperson
1B) Uyaelunmo
2) John

We are well positioned to land one of these kids.

Good point Joel...It seems like we're going to get one of these guys. Definitely need another big body that can rebound.

So much for "Top 7 schools". I guess eight is enough. Really wish that old logo would go away.

I can't make out two logos. I wish they would just list the names.

Just going off the placement of that Illinois logo on that picture list it just reinforces my previous beliefs that Frazier has got some big time..........guts.
