I like Alstork a lot. It worries me that L'ville is his last visit, but still I think we have a lot going in our favor.
Louisville has a lot going for them too...

I have never heard of this site before and I am not so sure about some of the analysis, but it is always nice to see a positive mention for one of our recruits:

4 Underrated College Basketball Recruits in the 2017 Class
3. Da'Monte Williams
Illinois commit Da'monte Williams is about as a good of a scorer as anyone else in the 2017 recruiting class. At 6-3 Williams is a bigger guard, his shooting abilities accompanied by his impressive athleticism is enough to overwhelm any defender. Illinois has traditionally been a team that lives and dies by the three. Williams is a great shooter and will likely fit right into the Fighting Illini game-plan. Williams is ranked number 90 in ESPN's rankings. I think most would agree he should be quite a bit higher.
I'm with you FiveStar.Seems a little early in the year for our annual Mike the Elevator discussion. Could really go for an Alstork commitment right about now.
What level is Dee with on Meanstreets? Any chance he can put positive Illini buzz in these guys' ears?

Before MS committed Da'Monte was always the recruit (including JT who I'm still in on) that I was the most high on. I know Trent gets the most talk because his personality in infectious and Dee-esque but a backcourt of Mark and Da'Monte would be physically devastating.
Now how he quickly he recovers from his injury remains to be seen.
15U coach. Wouldn't bank on Dee recruiting for us.

You grossly underestimate Dee. He is still completely all in on the orange and blue and will absolutely be one of our best Chicago recruiting resources as a Meanstreets coach. And if you want to bank on anything, bank on Dee being back in SFC in the future.
I don't underestimate anyone. Having Dee in a major Chicago AAU program is great, but he's trying to work his way up the coaching ranks through the grassroots level. His job isn't to recruit for us.
He may not mean to do it but if he is still all Orange and Blue it will rub off and he will talk about Illinois Basketball in a positive light it wouldn't have to be active recruiting.
Mac Irvin Fire (IL): Talen Horton-Tucker: 11.0 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 3.6 APG
Horton-Tucker owns the league’s only triple-double through eight games, proving he's just as versatile in EYBL play as he is during high school play at Simeon (IL). Mac Irvin Fire needs wins, and Horton-Tucker will play a big role in notching them in Atlanta and Los Angeles.
MOKAN Elite (KS): Malik Hall: 8.6 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 1.1 APG, 1.0 SPG Jontay Porter needed a sidekick in the frontcourt, and the sophomore Hall decided it was his time to shine. MOKAN relies heavily on Porter's frontcourt production, making Hall's improvement imperative for the squad's long-term success. His averages are solid for an underclassmen, but he has no choice but to improve on them in an eight-man rotation.
"Former #Illini star Dee Brown"
I pay a lot more attention to his posts ever since I learned he was Mike the Relevator not Mike the Elevator.
I don't underestimate anyone. Having Dee in a major Chicago AAU program is great, but he's trying to work his way up the coaching ranks through the grassroots level. His job isn't to recruit for us.
