Pearson is a kid the Irvin's are really pushing. So could be a deal where offering Pearson and keeping the Irvins feelin the love helps with Ayo.

I just want a guy on the team called T-Melly. That nickname is legit. :thumb:

Yep, it'll be interesting to see if it's a true offer or if it's to add to the hype and try to get other teams interested.

If we have to take this kid in order to get Ayo, I am in. He is not a bad player, and could easily develop. Plus the Irvins would be feeling the love, and hopefully send some more guys our way.

I agree- but either way an Illinois offer helps legitimize him so there is a benefit regardless

Are we too late on Hellems?

The current dream class is Ayo, DJS, Pearson/Conditt

Not too late at all, at this point it is just a matter of priority. There are plenty of others we would take ahead of him. Players such as DJS, Finke, Ayo, THT, Ignas, just too name a few.

I had heard Martin and SC were showing interest and that he wanted to get a visit there soon.

Hellems in foul trouble, Shareef O'Neal raining 3's in front of his pop, Shaq, but BBE still leads Cal Supreme by 1 with 6 minutes to go in the first half.
Been checking in on Meanstreets - Team CP3 -- Finke didn't start. Did see him get a finger roll layup. Tied 28 all just before the half.

Sow 4/7
Cole Anthony 23/4/4

Good game although hard to root for one side or the other. Not area teams and I highly doubt we're seriously in the running for either of these guys, but back and forth and a bit of bad feeling the last few minutes.

Jeebus, Hellems and Liddell were sitting so I turned it to watch MS and miss this. Did see Finke get another layup in the lane.
[FONT=&quot]Derek Piper‏ @DPiperScout 17s18 seconds ago [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hellems closed the half strong. Hit a three, put down some more FTs & finished in the paint. Good at finding space to work in the mid-post.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Finke drives the baseline for a layup. Maybe he's waking from his funk.

and a minute later splashes a 3 from the corner.

I have often heard when shooters are in a funk, lay ups and free throws gave a way of healing their shooting woes.

Seriously, the brain works in mysterious ways sometimes, sort of a reminder of " you can score!"
