Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Watched a few minutes of the posted video on Dain. He certainly looks to have a skill set that we don’t currently have on the team. Hopefully the foot injury isn’t a recurring thing and work with Fletch really pays off for him. Have to love the upside. Now the staff has to get him to buy in to get him to reach his potential.
My takeaways from this....
-long arms
-dunks alot
-extremely good ball handling for his size.
ATS, Learn BU systems and work with fletch and could be really valuable for our future.
Love the Commit! Wonder how this will affect Payne. He has gotten very little playing time lately and similar situation happened when Castleton transfered to Florida.
Thanks for posting. Very impressive, not one turnover or missed shot!

Fears? Possibly JJ and Boswell?

Thought Dainja is from Minneapolis. Did he grow up in Chicago and move to Minny?
I believe I heard he has family in Chicago and has spent a bunch of time there.
This is what I’ve read too. I also think he worked with Tim Anderson some when Dain still lived in Chicago.
The question is..."Now that we are Dainjarous...will there be Fears?"
Would he be eligible next semester? No idea how a mid semester transfer works in the penalty free transfer era.
He can join the team after 1st semester. He's able to practice and work out starting next month.

If he brings the right attitude to Fletch, the rest of the teams in the BIG could be in a lotta Dainja ... I couldn't resist ... I will also walk myself out!
The kid will be a stud for us
Next year.
