Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

Any chance RJ or Luke are still growing? I thought that was mentioned over the last year.

Can any insiders get a confirmed growth plate analysis from Fletch or is that a HIPAA violation?

Expected?

I expected him too yes.

Like dynamiting a golf course, going after a gopher?

Meh, didn’t you ever make bad major decisions in your late teens? I know I did!

All the time…..mostly at 2am when the bar was closing though.

He's not a world-beater but Chris Collins can't be too happy with this.

I’m not gonna name a name until the kid officially tells the staff. There are gonna be more transfers than expected….most aren’t gonna be note worthy….the one I got wind of tonight would be note worthy.

If so, damn.

I am guessing it will be for the better for both the team and individual. The player really needs a reset. Best of luck to him.

Yeah, if it's who I heard then it's a bummer

I'm not going deep on core players transferring...no positive in doing that on the board.

Let the rebuild/reload begin!

This has nothing to do with me and it's nothing personnel. You think he will come back and be a model teammate? One year ago he didn't want to be here!!
All I'm saying, is I want the type of player that is all Illini. Leaves his heart and soul out on the court. AM does not play like that and very probably never will.
IMHO, Houston has the right idea. Those Cougars play hard and smart. BU seems to be bringing in those types of players and that's a awesome thing.

Personally, I feel confident we’ll never be in rebuild mode with Brad at the helm ever again.

I wish I could up vote 1000x we can discuss once things are official

You may want to go re watch some film on Adam….he played his tail off…dove on the floor numerous times for loose balls, tough boards, etc. He still watches every game he can. Talks to the guys all the time. Talks to Underwood weekly sometimes multiple times a week. Sometimes when a player leaves it’s not always the player making the decision. He might have gotten some bad advice and had some people in his ear saying not the brightest things.

 

[sacraig]

Hey all...rumor has we got some great news coming tomorrow!

Based on the discussion here it sounds like we have both good and bad news on the way.

 

[logjam]

Trying to steer away from the bad.

Yep, sometimes you do what you can to make mom happy. Even when you don't want to do it.

This seems to narrow it down.

 

[Keisersose]

Is it “time to go?”

or is it “GO TIME!”

Maybe both? Different world now than before the portal.
