Wow...when did that changeUnderwood just said in one of his interviews you have to be able to shoot the ball in college basketball today.
But he wants pg’s that can shoot thus the cooling on Fears.Wow...when did that change
Kidding aside..you really need multiple players with pg skills. As we are seeing this year, really only Curbelo and Frazier have those skills and turnovers still occur. A PG group of Epps, Fears, Boswell would be awesome.
Who are we going to recruit now?Epps 7pts/4a/3r in 17:42 this afternoon.

Who are going to recruit now?
November 1: Man, I hope we can get Fears
November 15: Looks like we're leading.
November 30: He's ours.
December 10 : Don't worry about those other visits.
December 19: We don't want him anyway.
I'm not sure I've quite seen anything like this one.
Nature of recruitment. And why you shouldn't read too much into anything - especially for prospects that are a long way from even their fall signing period.November 1: Man, I hope we can get Fears

Do you think elite recruits, even those going to blue bloods, don't ask for assurances of PT?If his camp wants assurance that he'll be a starter from the get go, that changes things, no?
Assurance of PT is a bit different than assurance of starting.Do you think elite recruits, even those going to blue bloods, don't ask for assurances of PT?

Wonder if there is a stat that tracks how many players have transferred who have started every game as a freshman on a team that became a #1 seed?Possible, but doubt it. Too many 5/4* on the team to demand a starter spot. But????
However, BU, from what I have read, promises nothing. No idea if it is true, but given Miller's situation, seems it is.
At some point we are really going to need a “not his decision”November 1: Man, I hope we can get Fears

He would have torn both ACLs if he was still here.I’d guess you can count on one hand
Miller would be real nice right now to have handling the ball too.
#PortalWatch2022. Make it happen. I haven't seen his step-back yet, but as soon as we do, lock him up.
damn the ncaa rules, recruit him away from St. John Fisher. That shot looks smooth

You give him just 2 weeks and 3 days with Fletch and he'll have him looking like Dwight Howard. Then all that's left to do is find a carpenter to build shelves to hold all the awards.#PortalWatch2022. Make it happen. I haven't seen his step-back yet, but as soon as we do, lock him up.

I think it was pretty clear Underwood promised Mark Smith he would start—given that he kept him in that role WAY longer than made sense, before finally doing what we all knew had to be done and benching him.Possible, but doubt it. Too many 5/4* on the team to demand a starter spot. But????

I go on vacation & miss a couple of days & this is the nonsense going on now? There are no promises. I think about Podz sitting on the bench, not playing much but being the biggest cheerleader while he waits his turn. You want to start? Bust your butt in practice & take the spot. Im close to saying Curbelo should come off the bench when he returns. Very disappointing that Fears recruitment has gone this way. Thanks for the info.Well Fears can’t dribble, facilitate or rebound as well as Curbelo. Also gonna have sophomore Epps and Harris, who aren’t 6’5-6’7 wings. Fears also thinks he needs to start from day one. Don’t see it
Closer to 6' but has handles & is not afraid to rise up & dunk on you.I've seen Ames listed between 6' and 6' 3". Which he surely is, lol. Anyone know his legit height? Am guessing 6' 3" is aspirational and 6' is an old measure. No shoes debate, please.
Won’t consider them loaded unless there is a Kofi replacement in the mix. Doesn’t have to be the same type but must be a rim protector and an offensive threat down low and on the glass. Don’t see that in this mix.If we end up snagging Boswell and JJ Taylor this team will be LOADED with talent! Goode, Podz, and Melendez are gonna be solid by then. Not to mention Epps, Harris, and Rodgers with a year of experience under their belt. Future is just as bright as it was in the early 2000s! Cheers Illini faithful, its been a brutal 15+ years but we are back on the map! Let me add, a senior Coleman Hawkins could be 1 of the best players in the country by then.
