Sincere Harris & Jayden Epps have both recently made posts on their IG story reminding people signing day is coming up (Nov. 10). They have also posted showing love for the O&B. Not that it was a concern, but they are both still committed to the Illini.

Edit: Sincere Harris & Jayden Epps have been trending in the right direction compared to our decommits (Reggie Bass & AJ Storr).
1. Aj Storr: Committed to St. John's
2. Reggie Bass: He has really fizzled out. He posted about an offer from Hofstra University recently.

Good luck to both of them. I'm pretty bullish on Epps

JJ Taylor transferring to Donda Academy...
Jalen Hooks is going there as well. Seems we need to make some inroads into this...."school"

Really think the Department of Education needs to take a look at these "schools" that are just popping up with the specific purpose of creating athletes to make sure they are getting a legit education.

I am glad you asked! That is the cast of the early to mid 90s sitcom Wings. It holds a special place in my heart as one of the three comedy shows thst were appointment viewing for my parents in that era, and so by extension myself (along with Northern Exposure and Seinfeld).

I know, I know...

Interesting. I wasn't born until the late 90s but I think I've heard my parents mention that show before. Or maybe it was on the simpsons.

Wings is absolutely Top 10 90's sitcom's. Totally worth a winter binge watch! Laughing at Lowell in my head already.

Tony Shaloub beginnings...and Thomas Hayden Church (Lowell)? Loved it.

Might be tough to make inroads to that school since Adidas is backing it and Nike sponsors us. Probably puts us at a disadvantage. I suppose the good news is Kentucky is also Nike. Anyway, doubt we get any favors from that school in recruiting anyone.

These kids arent going to a school like this for college prep. They're just marking time before they're eligible to go pro. I would be surprised if any of the players going to this school think they're going to college after they leave. G League, Overtime Elite is what they have their eyes on.

Guessing that means he’s trending pro? Just think there’s a lot of questions regarding NCAA eligibility for that “school.”
My thoughts exactly, the article in the Sun Times said they don't have a building yet but games start in early November. Have to think the transcripts from this school will be dicey....

I hope all these kids make the NBA . It is one thing not to graduate from college. Its another not to complete your HS diploma.

With NIL no reason not to go to college for couple years.
