Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (March 2021)

Has anyone checked the dark portal lately? Crazy stuff going on in there.
Nate Reuvers in portal. He'd pair well with Georgi if Kofi doesn't come back.
definetly passing on that for one he’s 6’11 and averages 3 rebounds.
Sergio McClain wanted to go to Indiana but Marcus Griffin didn't want to play for Knight. Kruger got the job and hired Judson who was at Bradley at the time and knew Griffin, McClain and Williams. They committed to Krueger
Btw, not sure where this should go, but with all this Peoria talk... sorry to hear of Stan Albeck’s passing. Some good years at Bradley, and loved him during ABA years.
UW (Washington) has 5 guys in the portal including 3 starting players; two guards. Both averaged about 10 points a game. Tsohonis, 6 3 combo guard sophomore, and Stevenson, former Wichita State shooting guard. Some talent there. Hopkins fired most of his staff following the 20 loss season. Players want out.
I’m glad we got’m cause everything else lately has been bass-awkwards !...

UW was a major disappointment this season. Don't really blame the players for wanting to bail out.
I'm gonna buy stock in U Haul, moving all these kids around will buy me another beach house

Sophomores Tre' Williams and Sam Freeman became the latest Gophers basketball players to enter the transfer portal on Friday, they both confirmed to the Star Tribune.
Williams, who joins fellow starting guards Marcus Carr and Jamal Mashburn Jr. in the portal, averaged 5.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 27 games. The 6-10 Freeman averaged 6.9 minutes in 18 games in a reserve role this season. Both Williams and Freeman are from Texas.

goofers and loosiers gonna start from scratch ?
The next couple weeks should be interesting. As of right now I know Aarman Franklin is interested (hasn't changed since I mentioned it a few days ago) and there's a couple names out there that I'm still waiting on.
Aarman has nice size at 6'4 and shot 42% from 3 and had 4.1 rpg. Those are numbers I would take from a guard all day every day especially if Trent is gone.

Franklin would be a nice replacement for Trent. Has good size and shoots great from the 3. Still feel we need someone to take the last shot. Obviously Ayo may have been the best in program history. Right now you put the ball in Curbs hands, he just needs to develop his outside shot. If Kofi returns, obviously you make him a treat to score in close games.
There will be a long line for Timmy.

Waiting for Emerson Bigguns' reply here
Doubtful
Grandison averaged 4.5 ppg
Hawkins averaged 1.4 ppg
Going to need a little help from the transfer portal to compete for B10 titles.
Oh I get it he hates Catholics and bratwurst, real cool man.
Either that or his ex-gf is going there and he does not need that kinda drama for 4 more years.

Something about his posting style strikes me as familiar
hmmmm, can't quite place itHe ran that pro turnout for Hersey Hawkins who would just fill it up..
Following the Versace scandal, Albeck seemed like a good hire. He inherited talent , but couldn’t sustain the program. I really think he was more suited to the pro game.

Adam Miller gets the last shot. Without Ayo around, it is his time to shine.
With what is on the transfer list and what is in our recruiting pipeline. I am rooting for no more Sr. in high school's getting scholarships (certain exceptions of course) and getting Underwood and Co all over this transfer list. After the season we had, we may mop up in the transfers.
