That Nike outbid Adidas for his services...
Wouldn’t it be great if, for once, we were the school who flipped the script at the 11th hour when all indications are he’s going to Nova?
It can happen, right? Right?

Rodgers: While transferring to Thornton is FAR from a commitment to the beloved, nevertheless it's great news. Coach Anderson (and Underwood) clearly has made a big impression on Rodgers.
Also, want to make a general comment on our Illinois AAU recruiting: I flipping love how we've evolved from MIF dependence to a more equal footing for the Big 3.
Finally, huge, huge kudos for grabbing talent from nearby states.

Okay, with that info, how about this for tea leaves? BU and Co are still hard after both Rodgers and Whitmore. Whitmore likes what he is hearing/can’t bring himself to say no to Chester so he holds off on committing. Rodgers transfers to play for his mean streets coach and tells ILL he is in. Hearing this, ILL tells Whitmore they’re out, and, having no other reason to delay, Whitmore announces his commitment shortly thereafter?
I vote for Whitmore was waiting for an announcement that Rodgers was indeed transferring to IL HS (and essentially confirming he would commit to the Illini), and now that he has it he is ready to commit to Illinois too.
Except Rodgers hasn't actually committed
If the crystal balls haven't started flipping by now... better off holding onto your cups.

I know this is a hot take… but I’ll go with Whitmore to Nova and Rodgers to the Illini. Lol. Really going out on a limb here. On the plus side it looks like we’re gonna have a chance with Rodgers to lock him down before his Bama and Memphis visits.

I think every fan who is some semblance of realistic, will gladly take it.
minor quibble: flaming hot take, lol
Staff has killed it with Rodgers. They want someone like Monte on the roster at all times. Think he could fill that role well.

This is my strategy. Especially since I'm still trying to figure out the female equivalent of a cupNo need for a cup if none of our hopes were up in the first place.
I feel like the Coaches have met with Rodgers every week for like 2 months straight now.

Forward to :46 sec and watch his perimeter defense!! A solid 15-20 seconds of D! Impressive.

@Indy Illini Fan Can we get a boom for Whitmore?

I suppose a normal cup would be perfectly functional if overly spacious for such a situation.This is my strategy. Especially since I'm still trying to figure out the female equivalent of a cup
You rarely see a H.S. kid play defense like that! He also looks a legit 6'7, and has the handles you want for a SF. Certainly not the crazy run-jump athlete that Whitmore is, but not many are.Apologies if this has been posted...but after reading 0440's "someone like Monte" comment...I got excited and started watching some clips.

I will gladly take a Monte-like player perpetually. During the lean years we always missed that glue guy
