Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread (Week of May 24th, 2021)

Nutt, you must be from north of 80 if you think Kankakee is downstate

I live in Springfield. Everyone knows everything in Illinois west of the Fox River and south of I80 is downstate. Probably Lake County too. There are a few players from Peoria and from Springfield who may take issue with the statement. Malcolm Hill also?

Illinois would take a commitment from Pence. Kid can shoot it and is athletic.

This is the case for all Pences

 

[RockfordIllini]

He decides June 1. Will it be us? Need our next AC in place NOW!

Good frame. Looks a little raw but very athletic. Should be able to rebound and would actually complement Cole/Lieb in the front court nicely. Wouldn’t be a bad pickup although I think I prefer Cohren . If we get him hope that doesn’t foreclose Cohren.

Richard Keene?

Damn. This one is gonna haunt me for a while isn’t it?

Mike Tisdale (Riverton, IL). Don Freeman (Madison, IL). Dave Downey (Canton, IL).

Otho Tucker from Paris. Just the first other one that came to mind.

Yeah that one meets both criteria:
definitely downstate, definitely small...

How cool of a name is Otho Tucker? I wish that was my name.

 

[BangoBongoAndyKauffmann]

Mike Tisdale (Riverton, IL). Don Freeman (Madison, IL). Dave Downey (Canton, IL).

I give up...really turned into quite a learning opportunity for me didn’t it?

That’s what I get for a making poorly thought out comment like that I guess.
