Unless things have changed (which I very much doubt), Casey isn't going to be an Illini.Can our new AC's keep him here....or is he now Ky. bound?

Ooh. TC you turned a negative into a potential positive.New coaching staff will change the Casey situation. Casey's Dad didn't like Chin. A lot of Chicago people are not fond of MIF connections and Chin was perceived as an MIF ally.
While he was at Tinley Park he said Ky. is his dream school!Unless things have changed (which I very much doubt), Casey isn't going to be an Illini.

What's up with the discrepancy between 247 and their composite for Podz? 65 vs 157 is a pretty huge difference.247 just released their final 2021 player rankings:
Podz: rank-65, grade-93, 4-star
Ramses: rank-116, grade-90, 4-star
Goode: rank-133, grade-89, 3-star
They actually moved him up 16 spots. This is their site specific rankings not the composites. He's #98 composite (Melendez is #97 and Podz is #157)How dare they downgrade Mr. Goode!
You sure? I just looked at the top 247 ranking and it shows that his ranking dropped from #98 to #133:They didn't, they previously had him at 148. You're thinking of the composite, which had and still has him at 98.
All three Illini Class of 2021 signees rise in final 247Sports rankings
All three Illinois basketball Class of 2021 signees rose in the final 247Sports rankings for the Class of 2021. Wisconsin guard Brandin Podziemski rose six spots from No.247sports.com
The 133 is the 247 ranking. The 98 is the composite. Read the article I linked. Or click on "History" next to the ranking and it will show you the history of his rankings in either the composite or 247:You sure?

Why's that?Casey ain’t happenin’, sorry folks
MichiganWhy's that?
Man... recruiting Chicago is seriously too complicated...New coaching staff will change the Casey situation. Casey's Dad didn't like Chin. A lot of Chicago people are not fond of MIF connections and Chin was perceived as an MIF ally.

I thought “ I’d be willing to be bed” was going to be followed up by something much more.....interesting.I'd be willing to bed there are similar basketball politics in other basketball hotbeds. We just hear a lot more about Chicago because it's 3 hours from campus.
It doesn't take 3 hours if you drive the speed limit. Maybe if there is a traffic jam somewhere, then it would take 2.5 hours. I generally drive at most 10 over the speed limit and it takes me under 2 hours to reach Chicago from Champaign. It would probably take me less time now since I moved farther north in the area.I'd be willing to bed there are similar basketball politics in other basketball hotbeds.

That's a long drive from Arizona...Fair. I always had to drive to the NW suburbs where my girlfriend lived.
Presumably I didn't live in Arizona when I was attending UI, though I can't be too certain.That's a long drive from Arizona.
this just shows how good our assistant coaches used to be at analizing developing talent247 just released their final 2021 player rankings:
Podz: rank-65, grade-93, 4-star
Ramses: rank-116, grade-90, 4-star

More about fit and development than ranking. Some about coaching adjustments around roster talent.this just shows how good our assistant coaches used to be at analizing developing talent
