Things are coming together nicely... Recruiting momentum is at an all-time high:cool::shield:

Indeed he did, I posted after the McDermott comments that everyone should keep an eye on it...

Sure would be something to wind up with Goode, Melendez, Washington, Burnett, and Boakye :shield:
Do we honestly think Burnett would commit with TyTy also committed? Seems pretty counter to his reason for leaving Texas Tech.

That said I'd take TyTy if forced to choose.

No surprise here with the recruiting momentum and upcoming commits.
This program is probably the program du jour as of now. All over ESPN, CBS Sports, FS, the tweet world, etc. The kids, high school and select coaches, handlers....they see it. The brand of Illinois basketball is skyrocketing. I’d definitely make money if their stock was on Robinhood last year.
The key is, Underwood and staff are taking advantage of it, and going all out on getting their kind of recruits to reload instead of rebuilding.

Pass the Kool-Aid this way please.

Anyone else follow James Clear (motivational/self-improvement "atomic habits" author)? Today he quoted Mary Oliver: "If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. ...whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb." I mean, I want it to be more than just a crumb... Could good things be happening in Illini-land?? (I still know exactly where my cup is)

Obviously you haven’t read the 3/9 games thread — Gonzaga nor the Illini have a brand. /s

Writing on the wall with this one. Need some bangers but we don’t say no to guard play.

I'm probably going against the grain on this one but I would be a bit sad to end up a class that doesn't have Podz. I know other people are worried about his competition but I like a versatile skillset mr. basketball.

I think we have to get him. Can you imagine him and Goode draining 3's like they are shooting layups for the next 4 years?

I don't possibly see the Illini with Tyty and NB. Not enough balls to go around.
