Too bad they don't play the same position.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (Week of April 5th, 2021)

Positionless basketball.
I've won a couple beach houses here. Might put one on him landing at Kentucky, assuming they offer.
Off the bench? This guy will start
Then why would he come here to be a backup?
Oh, I have no info on that matter. I just know of the guy and have seen his game. Curbelo mentioned him before as well.

Because he wants to say be able to say he played on the same college team as Hutch.

I was just responding to whomever said he’d be a great backup
Curbelo / Plummer starting backcourt would have alot of issues defensively imo. Think you can manage Plummers minutes alot better in a 6th man role so the defense doesn't sacrifice too much.
He looks like a sixth man microwave.
Plummer looks like a nice prize. I like the P.R. pipeline
Enough of this drama already
I would welcome back AM if he wants to come back but on the coaching staff's terms not his or his moms.
Program is bigger then AM.
If he wants to go somewhere else I wish him the best. It will be his loss to leave his guys, his school, his state.
I love the momentum we gained this year and need to keep going with guys that want in.
I'm impatient but still willing to let process play out to see who wants to be an ILLINI

Hopefully Illinois has reached out to Tre Mitchell who played for UMass last season. I know we offered him a few years back along with a number of other teams. Big guy who can score in the paint or at the 3 point line. Sure he has a ton of offers just a guy I have enjoyed watching when he was in the A-10
Illinois is in very deep with Mitchell. He is the number target for them at the four.
Mitchell will literally have 75-100 schools of his choice. Rebuilding the roster doesn't take long if you could add a guy like this on. Mitchell and Payne would be a solid 4-5 look. Or Payne first big guy off the bench if Kofi tests the waters and would return.
Illinois will add more depth off the transfer portal. Definitely would land one of the lottery players in it if he would come here.

The board seems unusually...mad/argumentative/petty/negative, etc. I get it, we missed on a great opportunity to win it this year. Most likely rebuilding not reloading. I'm pissed too. Kofi is the linchpin to being top 25. We have a long time to find out what happens...and for those who aren't happy with the ranking of our current recruits, check back for re-rankings once they can see them easier on the circuits.

Add Plummer and Mitchell with possibly AM coming back, would be very excited for next season to say the least.
247 is the best for rankings at this point. Rivals is still pretty decent but they don’t put the same resources into basketball that they do football. And ESPN doesn’t even update their stuff but like a few times a year and Biancardi is like the only guy running it. That’s how composites scores can get wonky sometimes.
Plummer would be a great addition, see him as a replacement for Trent. Seems like a better shooter, but doesn't seem to handle the ball much for a 6'1 player. But undetstands his role as a catch a 3. Highlights show several steals but doesn't seem overly quick.
Possibly with him AC, AM, and Hutch plus Pods can form a solid 1-3 group.
Hutch may have to be the back up PG.

There is a lot of hostile behavior on here about recruiting and IL basketball because NCAA Basketball 10 was the last video game version to come out. Some people are still living in the past and forgot that in reality they can't recruit, coach or win a NCAA championship overnight or win 105 championships in a row 
Feel like next years backup PG when Curbelo is off the floor will be more of a by-committee thing.
