Honestly, I'm starting to think that Clownzo's whole recruiting methodology is to try and get back at Illinois because we would not hire him.
Regarding Javon Pickett, how does one reclassify back a year? Go to high school for 5 years? , or 4 years and 1 year prep school. Does that act like a year of junior college, then 3 years of eligibility?
Year of prep school does not affect eligibility. An athlete's eligibility "clock" begins as soon as they begin a class either at a juco or a four year institution. This clock is the five to play four.
I am more curious how guys reclassify the other way, UP a year. How do they complete four years of high school requirements in three years?
I think states are different in what you have to do to be able to graduate, but I know I had enough classes to graduate after my JR year, except in the state you had to take government and we could not take it till or SR year. I know well over 3/4 of my class was the same way so cant be all that tough to do
not if you went to a school that let you take government as a JRActually sounds impossible to do in the state where you attended high school.

it was something like, 3 years of English 3 years math, 2 years science, 3 history, and then so many classes like shop, art, pe.
The state of Illinois requires 4 years of English.
IMO, Pickett got in middle of JT circus , and for him, sitting a year, maybe this is best for him. Liddell you would think, saw all the hoopla of JT recruitment, and will steer clear of that mess. Mark Smith has extend a hand to him , hope fully EJ will take that as his path for guidance. Social media is the villain in all this, anyone that believes different , should just take an objective look into what happens in 95% of time. These young people are connected with text , twitter or FB as a way of life, and unfortunately ,it`s not gonna change.
After watching those highlights....why did anyone on this board suggest that George is not a high major player? He has an incredible skill set for a man of his height, and could be a contributor after a year under Fletch. After a couple of years playing with B10 bodies, the sky is the limit. He can dribble, shoot, block shots, and run. What more would you want from a big in a transition heavy system?
The potential is definitely there, but right now he is a tweener with little athleticism. He is too slow to defend guards and too small to defend the post.
Not sure what it is but I'm not sold on him, the comment one post made that saw him made me step back. Saw a video where his coach had to pull him back, so that makes double take. His growth made me think he might have leg concerns later. We shall see, long time till we or he commits.

Ayo Dosunmu
MR. LUNCH PALE
He didn't start off the weekend on a high note but as things wore on, Ayo Dosunmu rose to the top. You can automatically toss up 20 points on the scoreboard out of the top-30 recruit as his change of pace dribble and crafty handles enable for him to get to the lid anytime he might want to. He has shades of De'Aaron Fox within the fabric of his game and by continuing to develop his jump shot, Dosunmu has the chance to become one of the hardest defensive assignments in the 2018 class.
Recruiting: Heading to Illinois and DePaul this month for team camps, each program remains in the mix, along with others including Butler, Northwestern, and newfound interest by way of Kentucky.

Best guess is that he is waiting on full release from UIC. Have others say he is going with us, but I have seen nothing , anywhere to confirm, and I been watching it close. That said , he gets released , he should be .
If Conditt is as good as DJ Wilson, sign him up!
I'm just saying they have similar physical attributes and style of play. Hell, they even look alike. Wilson also had a late growth spurt and wasn't a top 100 guy coming out of high school.
