Guessing it will probably be next weekend before news starts breaking about transfers out and visits being lined up. Underwood will be in N.O. until Tuesday So nothing will happen until he’s back in town.

Joel Goodson
- ties will be resolved
Ty needs to close the deal with Skyy at that game!
I would be surprised if deal is not already closed.

People who are senselessly negative find it essential to style themselves as “realists” … the feeling of maintaining that persona is the only positivity they get to enjoy.
Seriously, lighten up! We’re all adults and don’t need anyone to ~temper our expectations~. It’s perfectly possible to be less optimistic than others and not stick out like a sore thumb for being overly negative.

I missed it but 247 came out with their 2024 rankings in February. Morez comes in at 40 and his teammate James Brown comes in at 24. They are 1&2 in the state of Illinois.

Correct
DB what is your current read on TSJ. I know things can change week to week but what is the feel where the Illini stand.
Yeah that’s not true at all. But alright!
Already getting reviews as ELITE? That has to be a good sign, right?

technically not an all caps elite review, but trending in the right direction

As others have said, the admissions hurdle is the only reason why TSJ isn’t an Illini. The foresight on that wasn’t the best. It is being worked through but I’m certainly not as optimistic as I was leading up to him entering the portal.
TSJ is waiting for a domino to drop before making any decisions. Think the admissions thing has been sorted out. Illinois was very proactive there. It’s like pulling teeth with grad programs though.
I nominate for POTD
Can you imagine where Morez Johnson would come in if he were committed to Kentucky? Definitely top 15!I missed it but 247 came out with their 2024 rankings in February. Morez comes in at 40 and his teammate James Brown comes in at 24. They are 1&2 in the state of Illinois.

I know know what it feels like to be 0440 for a day. My parents are at the Final 4 they just go every year to party regardless what teams are there but they ran into Underwood, Trent, Plummer, Greg Guard, and the Illini basketball managers. They got tons of recruiting and current player scoop on everyone from the managers but I’m just gonna keep it all to myself

My guess is Jacob Grandison. They play the same position.
