Yeah, Joe Random is my go to guy for wild rumors. Always nails it.Call me crazy, but I find it extremely tough to believe anything from a twitter account with "Waffler" in the name

I find that hard to believe. We would be very upset if some other coaching staff was reaching out to Curbellos “camp” without him being in the portalNo but his camp is one of the ones we have been reaching out to... of those who haven’t entered the portal “yet”.
Bo Boroski, is that you?

Exactly. His post said we reached out to EJ. Which isn’t true.There's a big difference between a coaching staff reaching out to a player or camp not in the transfer portal and a player or camp reaching out to the coaching staff.
Is this a B1G player? I thought I saw that as a rumor. Also, is this player a guard or a big (if you can share any of these details)?We haven't reached out to any players not in the portal, one has reached out to us on his own though and it isn't EJ.
I can't say much with the kids name not being in the portal.Is this a B1G player? I thought I saw that as a rumor. Also, is this player a guard or a big (if you can share any of these details)?
noneI feel like I know what's coming, but I'm going to ask anyway - outside of hiring someone in a recruit's circle, what is the draw of ASU?
By massive, you mean, Illini will not be in the running for any of them?
I loved Ramey. But he isn't really a fit. He's going to want the ball in his hands and 30+ minutes. That won't happen here, at least to the degree he'll want. Sub 40% shooter, not good.two names with Shaka moving on from Texas (no insider info):
Courtney Ramey -- From STL, heavily recruited by us out of high school
Jericho Sims -- High School: Cristo Rey Jesuit High School [Chicago, Illinois]

if we miss on NB and TyTy I could see him being an Ayo plug-n-playI loved Ramey. But he isn't really a fit. He's going to want the ball in his hands and 30+ minutes. That won't happen here, at least to the degree he'll want. Sub 40% shooter, not good.

I'm guessing it's someone not really mentioned in this thread. Guessing it was a high end recruit who had a rough year and/or coaching change.We haven't reached out to any players not in the portal, one has reached out to us on his own though and it isn't EJ.
During the B1G tourney, Ayo and Garza's family were sitting together and the two fathers talking. I think Garza needs another year to fine tune NBA skills, and will take advantage of the COVID year. But Iowa is losing much of the supporting cast. Therefore, the families agreed it would be best for both Ayo and Garza to come back, with Garza sliding into the four spot at Illinois with Kofi at the five and Grandison moving to the three. That's it, isn't it? Ayo staying and Garza transferring in ?I can't say much with the kids name not being in the portal.
If Grandison is a bench player for Illinois next year we will have a really good team. I like how Grandison plays and his experience will be needed next yearAssuming Kofi leaves, we need a big who can defend, and based on the Boakye decision that player needs to come from the transfer portal. Need a backup pg as well.
I think one of Hutch and Hawkins surprises next year and takes Grandison’s spot in the lineup.
Belo, Ace, (guard to be named), Hutch/Hawkins, (big to be named) is how I think this plays out. Hope I’m wrong and Kofi stays.
