What’s the interest level on Williams from Temple? Hearing anything on that.
looking into him….will probably be in contact but keep at an arms reach…..there are gonna be 400? 500? 600? More players enter the portal in the coming weeks….can be a little picky with the guards

Anybody know if RJ previously had Illini MB and an Illini profile pic in his twitter bio? Because he no longer does, if so. Can't recall one way or the other, but thats been one of my big fears with the Belo transfer.

Hello LAD??? Has Shannon committed yet? Is Miller coming? What about Brazile or Miller? Anything recruiting?
Even with Belo leaving.... If all the recruits show up, we are still one scholarship short for next year. So, we need at least two more departures before we have an available ride. I suspect we end up with three more players leaving, and we take two off the portal./Or one and one 'new recruit'.

He’s got a lot of suitors. I believe the coach that recruited him to LSU is at Georgetown now so something to watch. He had a nice convo with Chester who he also has a previous relationship with as Chester recruited him to VA Tech.
Unrelated to your post, but...

Not sure if you've commented on this, but you seem like the guy to ask. Are there any players that you are comfortable saying you would be shocked if they left? Hard to be certain about anything I guess, but are there some guys you are confident about coming back? Some talk about RJ in relation to Curbelo has me a little curious if people are overly confident about the wrong people.

Goode isn’t going anywhere that’s 100%. I really don’t think RJ is going anywhere but it wouldn’t shock me if Curbelo tried to recruit him to wherever he goes next. All the incoming recruits are locked in. Outside of that I can’t say anyone is 100% a lock to return even though I feel really good about a couple others.

Played with Harp, Battle, Gill, Nick, Ervin, Liberty, Larry Smith and several others. Likely the best I played with at Impe or Huff at that stage of their lives though were Harper and someone that wasn't even an Illini but a former Houston Rocket who was dismissed from the league after playing vs the Lakers. That player was in Mitchell Wiggins, Andrew's dad. He was a beast. It's was a blast growing up in CU and living at Huff and IMPE several hours a week for about 20 years Mitchell was a great guy as were several of them. My wife actually sold Nick Anderson his first wife's wedding ring at JC Penny! Lol
I used to play with Mike Price pre-IMPE. He would take the four worst (including me!) and beat the five best. A wonderful player and a great guy. Late 60's.

If you want your former team to hate you, trying to steal a promising player away from them is a great way to do it.

It seems Illinois is very confident with Skyy Clark now, but do we have any sense how receptive he is to all the other schools reaching out now?

Trying to understand his open mindedness to other schools... between "just a matter of time before Illinois" and "Illinois is leading but he's open to shopping around". The latter has bit us before.
He Gone


Somebody had to say it……………right?!?!
