Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2021)

[illiniguy]

We need to lock this guy up. Shooters with height are deadly in the college game. This is a 3 pt shooter who actually shoots better than 40% from 3, not a guy that just looks good in highlight videos.

Jalen Coleman-Lands is available in the transfer portal for you.

He is 6'4" and shot over 40% from 3 in the Big 10 with Illini.

Guaranteed to get your coach fired.

I'm a big fan. He's a Joe Wieskamp type. He's going to be pretty good. You have to keep him away from Iowa.

Great comments! Now that's a nice highlight clip. Looks like a really solid basketball player.

I'm sorry if I missed it, but is there a video for Mr. Bass? Size?

Totally fanboying right now but if Boakye reclassed/committed (and had the same rating, which is probably the wrong assumption), and TyTy committed, we would have the #3 recruiting class nationally. Wouldn't have put money on that three months ago..

Along with possibly Jalen Washington

 

[Nappy I_L_L]

lol. I read it as you were talking to me not Boakye lol..

and I agree.. he only comes if Kofi leaves.. but After this NCAA tournament. Kofi is gone

Kofi: Proceeds to score 55 against Drexel's 6'8 center.

Let's just get Jaden Hardy, TyTy Washington, and Jalen Washington all on board and then we can have massive name confusion for the next few years. It'll be awesome!

Watching Bass' film he seems to me to be a bigger version of Trent. Good skills can drive the basketball and a good shooter. A good way to start off the 22 class. I wonder if he in his senior year will be a four-star. Keep them coming BU.

Is he a legitimately good shooter or was that just for the video?

Great find!

Most likely scenario is Carr is getting paid to play by next fall.

 

[ptgd1]

He’s 6’5”

Does that include the hair, or minus the hair?

 

[Deleted member 746826]

loren tate just said he though trent and dfw could be coming back

Stats are hard to find. He is below 40% from 3 for sure though.

Looks like his soph year at Hamilton Heights he was 33% from 3 (28/86), 75% on FTs (55/73), 44% from the field (33/75)

That would be ideal.
