247 never updates currently, FWIW Reggie Bass is still crystal-balled to Illinois

Talk about a guy that just plummeted down the recruiting board.
He was never up it. I think he was in the 200s when we got his commitment. He just wasn't good. I remember watching video and saying ok, AJ Storr is pretty good. When I watched video of Bass I was left wondering what in the heck the staff was seeing.
I just read an article that had him as a 4 star. 247 had him rated as high as 0.9299 on the composite. Not sure what that equated to in the rankings, but right now it’s 130.
then he has moved up the charts a lot. 247 has him at 270.
The WAS rated as high as an 89 on 247. He’s now an 81 on 247. 89 is 120-150 range currently. Not sure if it was when he was rated an 89, but he is NOW rated 81 on 247. 8 points on there is a massive drop.
Don't think he ever broke top 100. I think his peak was in the mid 100s. He's definitely down from where he was, but he was never very highly ranked to begin with. Kind of on that 4-star/3-star border. That recruitment always seemed strange to me. Video was pretty unimpressive. And it was between us, Oregon St. and Kansas St. in the end. Both those other programs are very meh. There wasn't really any other serious interest on our level.
Yeah - never meant to suggest he was top 100, but mid 100s to 270 is still a sizable drop. Mid 100s you figure he might crack the top 100 before he graduates, 270 and you start considering the offer from stony brook he got today as a legitimate option.
There is so much he and him, I suspect people may have gotten confused if it was about Bass or Storr. In either case, it’s:

I know this board dabbles in the dark arts of revisionist history a lot but there were plenty of doubts about Bass from the get-go. Staff was at an all-time high during that time, so plenty of people turned to blind faith (followed by copious amounts of fish gifs/jokes!). His film was not impressive. I'm grateful how the class has turned out.
What a great day for Illini fans! Can’t wait! Figured just to get the good vibes going I’d bump this to the front and see if there’s any more developments to get us more hyped than we might already be.
Thoughts and comments welcomed!

If we land Skyy, that’ll be pretty good.What a great day for Illini fans! Can’t wait! Figured just to get the good vibes going I’d bump this to the front and see if there’s any more developments to get us more hyped than we might already be.

Louisville looks to enter the race.
Skyy is from Nashville TN. I would think TN would be chasing him pretty hard.
Funny I saw something that he already has Geico NIL money. Since NIL money cannot be tied to attending a specific school the UK supporter at GEICO got screwed
I wonder if Louisville still gets PapaJohns money since they CEO got fired for politically incorrect statements.
Of course if he likes how Ayo developed maybe ILL.

Don't need him when you have the real double double king coming back (please?)
Sencire Harris and St Vincent St Mary are heading to state finals after a 72-47 win over Kettering Alter. Harris finished with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 steals.

He should go to a team with a better chance at success in March. I know a school that has won 2 more tourney games than UK over the past 3 years.
