Love Trent, but he doesn’t handle it or pass it like Bass.
Hopefully Bass can eventually defend like Trent and be the awesome team player Trent is.

I'm not fond of Marylands coach Mark Sturgeon....
Not every season can be champagne and caviar.
And he TOO wears a mask, like one of our other favorite players
I tapped out and stopped talking about this topic. Didn't have the patience for it anymore. The kid is a baller.
He hasn’t been admitted yet soooo

My source has told me that Burnett has cleared the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Mark Smith was not very well liked in the Illinois locker room.
Anyone know anything about this new Elevation Prep Reggie Bass goes to?
I watched 2 games on YouTube and it was absolutely terrible. There was literally no offense. Reggie would walk to the wing and stand outside the 3 point line and not move. There were no screens, there was no movement. 4 guys would stand on their spots while one guy would drive or take a 3. Then the bigs would fight for a rebound while everyone else watched. A lot of ole defense too.
I'd lose my mind as a coach, which made me wonder why I didn't hear the coach screaming at them. He should have stayed at Hamilton Heights.

We see that a lot though. Does not mean he gets into Illinois though

Buuuuuuuuuuuuttttttt, doesn't mean he doesn't.
Listed heights on Podz seem to range from 6’5-6’7. On his Twitter he lists himself as 6’6 which makes me think 6’5 is probably accurate. To me there’s a big difference between 6’5 and 6’7 considering his skill set, athleticism and the comp on his videos. But as has been said, the staff knows what they’re doing.
A lot of talk about how many wings we seem to be looking at, but getting a bunch of guys in the 6’6 range who can switch defensively and work in different ways offensively is extraordinarily appealing.

Is Elevation Prep, Bass' 3rd or 4th HS?? Any reason why he would have left Hamilton Heights in the middle of the year?? He's an '022 right??

I don't understand why we wouldn't want those types of guys?

3rd, I believe. No clue. Yep, '22.
3rd at least. It's in Ft Wayne, Indiana so much closer to home. Surely that had something to do with it.
Certainly an eye raiser when a junior is on his third high school. I don’t know anything about the kid and each move to a new school may be completely unrelated to anything he did. Just that it’s odd when a kid is on year 3 and school 3.
I don't really see it as much of a problem. He started at a public school in Muncie, then decided a step up in competition would be good for his development, which is true. So he went to Tennessee.
Then this school opened up in Indiana so he went back closer to home. They're saying it's a basketball factory, classes are focused strictly on covering NCAA requirements and all other time is focused on basketball. No clue what they're focusing on. It certainly isn't offense.
True, but we still need a 5 to replace Kofi and only have a limited number of scholarships available.

This is the full spectrum of comparisons and hot takes.
When I hear fans worry about talent eval of a player, all I have to do is look back 3 years. This staff has taken a perennial down team to a #1 Seed in the NCAA. A team with Legit Final Four, National Champion hopes. The day we signed Ayo was the day the rise began and continues into the future. WIth RJ Melendez, Luke Goode and will Mr. Basketball from Wisconsin (Brandin Podziemski) be next ? GO Illini
Didn't Lovett set the record with 4??
You are correct..
