Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

The instate competition is MSU. Michigan never really seemed to be all that involved with Rodgers since Howard's kid is a 2022 recruit.

Based on what I've heard, Michigan isn't after Rodgers very hard. MSU, Xavier and Memphis appear to be our competition.

Cross another big man target off the list
Talked with Jalen Hooks HS coach this morning. Informed me that Hooks is transferring to Donda Prep in California. Kanye West’s new school.
He said that Robert Dillingham is heading out there as well. Top 10 prospect that was at Combine Academy with Epps.

How many times did Hooks make it to campus this summer? 2? 3?
Believe he’s taken 3 unofficials. He was just on campus last month with two of his AAU teammates that also have offers.

We have a project center. Another isn't exactly a priority.

Good thing I assume, as we have a pretty good relationship with Hooks and he can help sell Illinois for us to all the stars heading to Donda?
She was definitely elite.
Has she been offered yet?
She has already signed with Heaven Elite.

Mine open every time I see her......
Just wondering what the NCAA Clearinghouse will think of this. I live in LA. Donda has no teachers, no gym, no accreditation and I don't think Kanye even has closed on the lease of the property yet. It is the middle of the school year; how quickly can all of those basics come together? This is definitely a situation that makes you go hmmm. I do hope that the kids aren't putting themselves in a difficult situation.
Will definitely be something to monitor.
Deion Sanders did the same thing a while ago, it did not turn out so well...
Those two years spent at Prime Prep put Emmanuel Mudiay in a tough spot
Emmanuel Mudiay will probably be just fine overseas. But the idea that he merely picked that over playing at SMU is silly because the two years he spent at Prime Prep Academy in Texas made it unlikely that he'd ever get through the NCAA's Eligibility Center, a source told CBSSports.com.

If there's anyone who makes calm, sensible, even-keeled, well-planned decisions, it's Kanye.
Throw in the unparalleled speed and fairness with which the clearinghouse works I think we can expect great things.
Found this out a few days ago, and was told to keep it private. But Jeremy Fears will be running with the Indy Heat for EYBL next year.
We have gotten some Goode players out of that program before…

I hope there are no issues with his grades/classes, but man this is such an Illinois thing to happen. Wish him the best, but seems like a bad road to take.
No offense, but this is a terrible read of the situation.
Can you clarify who you're talking about?
