Eh, same thing happens in normal college admissions. It's uncommon, but students who get accepted somewhere and then get arrested or fail their last semester or something similarly egregious have offers rescinded. If there are "issues" that have since cropped up, I don't see that as being unreasonable to part ways. That doesn't even factor in the fact that his main recruiter is no longer with the team.
Not a guy with reported attitude and maturity issues. Dont need that in your locker room and taking up a scholarship. Also Epps completely destroyed him head to head in AAU play with the staff watching.
Pretty much says it all.
I've seen Chester Frazier repost content showcasing Sincere Harris & Jayden Epps. I've never seen him repost Reggie Bass content. Interpret that however you want, but I think it gives credence to the rumor that the staff isn't taking him
Yea I agree, its basically a cost benefit analysis. You're willingly to take that risk if they are very good and hope the culture that is established reigns the person in. The Patriots do this often. I'm not saying Bass is worth that but I'm saying that a strong established culture isn't going to be destroyed by one person. Oftentimes that person will get in line because everyone else is. My guess is they don't view him as important or worth the potential headache because they have plenty alternatives that are as good or better. I guess I should have been more verbose so it was clear what I meant. I wasn't trying to say we should take him.
Has this been communicated to Bass? If so, kinda wird he keeps posting about Illinois like he's jazzed to come here. Unless he's trying to win the staff back over? Strange, if true
Pretty sure he thinks if he keeps posting and pretending he is in the class it'll happen. Very weird behavior. IMO he likely has no other P5 options right now or you'd figure he'd hop off right away
Marcus Lovett came to mind
What a fun recruitment that was
Where the illinigals atAnd illinigals too
Has he really slipped that much, or is this just intrigue building?
This guy says this list of schools are recruiting him the hardest. (notice...no Michigan) 6-8 pogo stick? Haven't heard that phrase in a while!
Slacker
I believe it was about Cameron Corhen, but the deletion of the tweet might be an indication of inaccurate info. The tweet basically said that Corhen and Whitmore would be taking official visits to Illinois (along with unspecified others) during the Nebraska football game. My guess is that Whitmore will be on an official visit, but Corhen will be here unofficially (since he already had an official visit on June 21, 2021).
Resets on August 1st, I believe. In theory he could take two officials.
I mean, when Storr and Bass first committed people on this site thought they were going to end up being top-50 type guys. Orange tinted glasses go a long way. And keep in mind the previous "not good as advertised" staff brought us Ayo, Kofi, and Curbelo. I love what the new staff is doing, but it is possible to praise the new staff and not sell the prior staff short.
Agreed. Frazier is great, but Antigua was great too.
