Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

The same coaches who have called everyone in the building elite at one point or another. All tournament teams left him wide open in the half court to help on others. Him and Damonte were brutal

I'll see you in the recruiting thread where I'm sure we will encounter some nuanced, levelheaded takes.Well, my Illini compadres, we’ve now gone from a next game mentality to a next season build.
Thanks for all the thrills and lessons in perseverance supplied by this year’s group.
Now, let’s look forward to the staff filling some vacancies with a stable of gritty, talented kids who will continue to advance the program to elite status. Some more guard/wing length wouldn’t hurt, either.
Unlike a lot of players majoring in sports and recreation or something like that, BBV is a psychology major and I've read somewhere he is close to a straight A student. His motivation and goals may be different than a lot of players. I hope he stays

So, for your case that Hawkins is a low-IQ player, you argue that teams leave him open in the half-court? Um, OK.
Oh, and if folks don’t like how these (I guess, idiot) coaches express positivity w/r/t individual players and try to instill confidence in them - and the same folks feel compelled to insult the players in O & B who work so hard to create a winning team - I don’t really know why they waste their time on a fan forum. If they’re attempting to work out their own personal inadequacies through trashing others who are actually accomplishing something in life, I’d suggest trying a more effective form of therapy.
Posting speculation about which of our student-athletes might/should transfer is really distasteful, and I wish no one would do it here.
Ayo should transfer back to the Illini
More Assistant Coach turnover again this offseason?
I mean anything can happen but Louisville is likely headed for post season ban at some point.
Have heard it is a real possibility ... Kenny Payne and TA go way back.
Skyy Clark will likely be following TA wherever he goes. Whether that is here or not.

We can’t let Louisville poach TA. I’d like to think Josh won’t let that happen.

If money is the issue he will not.
If that happens, there is more to the assistant coach turnover than meets the eye, regardless of how far they go back.
You lose TA ... There are going to be some issues with more than just Clark, it would impact Rodgers and Morez in a major way.
Whitman knows this.
Uh, we lost all three assistants last year.
I can only handle so much bad Illini news in one day.

Jeez this has we worried
I’d say get prepared. Once these things leak they tend to magically happen.
I hope it’s NOT true, but once ‘insiders’ post it here it tends to happen - that is unless we’re talking about recruits committing.

Recruiting (of staff) is fluid!
