We're going hard after two bigs in the 19 class, Okoro and Liddell. A transfer or 5th year big for next season makes sense, but I think wing will be the focus for HS kids in 18.

Yea I agree. Granted, would take BPJ in a second as he would really add a solid long defensive C. Front court options of BPJ, Okoro, Liddell, Ebo would be a great group going forward once Black and Finke graduate
I think he's mainly a 5, so I don't think he'd struggle too much. If he's playing stretch 4 they'd have to tone down the pressing D. I like his skills on O and he can help next year plus one since he's immediately eligible with two to go. However, zi'd certainly take BPJ first.
Why do guys keep bring up BPJ when he's obviously not interested in us?
The dartmotuh transfer seems to be a nice rotation big with some ball skills if we can wrestle him away form Northwestern. I know nothing, but it seems far too logical that the Wildcats could be a logical destination .

He is more like 6-7/6-8. Listed at 6-8.
Yeah it looks like 6'8" 235 is more accurate, thanks Combs. He looked like he's multi-talented, nice shot, solid handles especially for his size and he's obviously smart as all get out if he's graduating from Dartmouth in three years.

Probably had a lot of AP credits from high school.
UIUC gave my younger son 36 credits.
Boudreaux would start from day 1. He's the real deal.
At the 5? Would he start for Northwestern as well?

My daughter barely made it out of high school. Had to go the community college route to earn her way to Champaign.

My son was in an early college program for Jr & Sr. years so he started college a few hours short of being a junior, most of the kids that were in the program for 4 years entered college well into junior year, but very few still graduated in 3 years...so even with AP credits getting through Dartmouth while playing basketball in 3 yrs, is pretty special.
What high school and college were those for your son, out of curiosity??

I'm quite sure he's been subject to as many advantages in life and specifically at Dartmouth as anyone could ask for.

He had Big 10 offers from Penn State and Iowa, an offer from Iowa State and Boston College too.

Plus NW and as I've said before I think that's where he ends up.

Rough class for the Illini to need a big

If this is the year of the big man ... enjoy it because the 2018 class is the worst overall crop of post players I've scouted in the last 12 years. No depth at the position.

Is she taller than Brad Underwood? Something something growth plates?
Winter risers: Which seniors could see their stock soar?
Tevian Jones
Offers: Illinois.
Why his recruitment could take off: Frankly, it's a it mystifying that some Pac 12 level program didn't snatch him up early. He's long, has good positional size and with his athleticism and developing jump shot has a chance to pay off in a big way. Illinois recently jumped in with an offer.

Great pick up for Bryce Drew. I'm probably in the minority here but I always thought Garland was a little overrated. Either way I'm happy he's not going to be a Hoosier. Here's to hoping Langford follows him.
Indiana fans foresaw this last week once the announcement details were made public. They had their cups on.
Good for Drew. Weird that Garland wants to play in a mid-major conference, but he'll make noise no matter what.

Are you not aware that Drew is coaching at Vanderbilt now or were you being facetious?
One thing I enjoyed while perusing the Garland recruitment thread on the Indiana site was them quoting Jerry Meyer calling Garland being "all but a lock for Indiana" about a month ago, followed by redshirt talk because of all of the great guards they were going to get, followed by Jerry Meyer changing his crystal ball pick to Vandy the day of the announcement.
It's nice to know that other fan bases go through the same things we've had to endure. Indiana fans are no different (just less intelligent and more obnxious
