Whitmore's game has some Kenny Battle in it: take no prisoners, uber athleticism, VG skills. Kid is an utter dawg. Want, want, want!!!

Anyone recognize the guy jumping out of his seat in the 2nd video?
Great show and I’m old too. But agree we need him back 0440 had great info.[ most plaintive plea, like the kid in Shane (hey, I'm old) ] Come back, 0440, come back.
Really, for all the hype the kid got, he went where most knew he would from the start. But, he did his best to hype it as much as he could.
ship had already sailed with the Kofi news but figured id post it
So, Kofi of the south?Really, for all the hype the kid got, he went where most knew he would from the start. But, he did his best to hype it as much as he could.
I think Obanor was always going to TT and the staff knew.I found it interesting that Tate made the comment yesterday the staff actually backed off on Obanor. The feeling apparently is with Kofi back there may not be enough minutes to go around and they like (and want to keep) the pieces they have. Makes sense with the talk that we will leave a position open. Still, he would have been a helluva piece.

A deep run will go along way to cementing the 20s as a decade of success. I for one am readyOur current 2022 wish list seems to be
AJ Casey
Cam Whitmore
AJ Storr
Cameron Corhen
Missing any high priority guys? Storr ship hasn’t sailed even after grabbing two other guards? Adding any of these guys gives us a great class. I’m ready for SFC to be ROCKING when we bring guys in on visits! Great time to be an Illini fan.
I'm a bit skeptical of that. I guess it's possible Hawkins has dramatically improved and they feel that have to get him major minutes. But in general, you had talent if you can, and the 4 has been our weakest position in recent history. Obanor seemed like the perfect complement at the 4 to Kofi at the 5.I found it interesting that Tate made the comment yesterday the staff actually backed off on Obanor.

I don’t think the Storr ship has sailed, but I doubt we get him back. My thoughts:Our current 2022 wish list seems to be

I would include Braden Huff as well, with Jaden Schutt even tho he will be a long shotOur current 2022 wish list seems to be

- Huff has Wisconsin written all over him.I would include Braden Huff as well, with Jaden Schutt even tho he will be a long shot
Also in on a couple high level centers: Kel’el Ware and Felix Okpara
Yeah I’m not really a fan of Casey at all, seen it too many times from kids that peak early (Mike Shaw, DJ Williams). I’m not even sure if Underwood will consider him a take, he definitely wouldn’t be right now. Maybe if he starts consistently showing up- Huff has Wisconsin written all over him.
- The times I’ve seen AJ Casey, I leave feeling like I wanted to see more. He has potential but is missing something. I’d take him in a second, but I don’t feel like he’s a can’t miss prospect.
