I read that a little differently.

Assuming it was a reference to the favorable impact Ayo is going to have on CHI recruiting over the next 5-10 years. (i.e. Chicago kids are going to want to emulate his journey.)

I think it was referencing Ayo making the futures game. Huge impact could be a little overstated. I believe it was posted the same night.

Now that Fears is gone, I'd hate to see us miss out on Boswell AND Ames. What do you think?

Kenwood is playing on NBC Sports Chicago, whatever channel that is. Apparently I have it. Not much of a game but a chance to watch Dai Dai Ames and Davius Loury.

Watching JJ Taylor play on NBC it's hard to think the coaches would actually want his play style at Illinois. He plays very lazy.

It’s getting harder and harder to decide which of next year’s freshman I’m more excited about….not just three highly skilled kids but they all play with a chip on their shoulder too, can’t wait

Agree. I think Rogers and Epps are both rotation players from day 1. But I think Harris is a big time sleeper. Great length and twitchy, but what I’m most impressed by is actually his handle. Seems to be able to get where he wants to go and is great at sort of slithering to the basket and finishing. Jump shot looks a little flat but good enough to keep people honest. If Fletch can do to him what he did to Ayo, absolutely look out.

Agreed. Tabbing Harris as the sleeper isn't really wrong, but it's a great illustration of how far the program has risen.
