Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

If my math is correct we are at 13 right now if everyone with eligibility returns with the 4 players coming in, so if we're hoping to get Sky, TSJ, a big man transfer and experienced PG transfer we need some transfers out to happen - Hutch and Grandy not using their final year would be 2 spots so we would need 2 more

Although if BBV and Lieb both return we likely don't get a big man transfer

there is going to be some heartbreak on these boards if these two come back and the assumption of three more transfers comes true.

There is still time for that to change...maybe just a third-string big man. s/

We literally have two of those in BBV and Lieb. Why would anyone transfer to be third string?

The guy who tweeted is a recruiting reporter for 247. Seems like he wouldn't put his credibility on the line if not confident. Then again, his statement isn't definitive.

"24/7 high school hoops" doesn't work for 247sports

No, but it's someone who has named their account in a way that seems to be intentionally trying to make that ambiguous.

We are at 83 pages. Low LAD hopes tonight. Guessing we don't touch 85 before Dan wipes it clean tomorrow morning.

My contribution to the page count using this small post....

I’ll slightly clarify: If there was a HS player who was known for his defense and rebounding well for his position, but would routinely have games where he would score little to no points, BU wouldn’t recruit him.

I think myself and others wonder what Monte would have been had he not had a dirty foul committed against him that resulted him tearing his ACL.

You've conflated 2 very different things to try and make your point, the college Da'Monte who routinely defered or declined shots, versus the player he was in high school. His senior year he was averaging 25 pts a game before his ACL tear, so at the time a college coach would be recruiting him he wasn't "routinely having games where he would score little to no points." Neither Marcus Griffin or Da'Monte were the same players after their injuries.
