Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[KofiComeBack2022]

While this board continues to freak out, I’m going to sit back, relax, and keep drinking orange kool-aid while staring at the orange and blue sky.

17 years of groin punches does that to a fan base lol.

20 years of crawlin, all bottled up inside me

 

[GallopingGhost]

This thread this AM lmao

Props to the insiders for dealing with the anxiety of the board. It's like bf/gf who needs constant reassurance.

Someone come up with a virtual xanax.

Hell of a lot better than being in "Hello darkness, my old friend" mode. Especially, for no damn reason.

Just going to keep speaking this into existence until I see it. Williams has changed to "Other Transfer"

Guards: Skyy, Epps, Miller/Other Transfer
Guard/Wings: Harris, Podz
Wings: TSJ, RJ, Rodgers, Goode
Talls: Coleman
Bigs: Kofi, Dainja, BBV

 

[KofiComeBack2022]

Guess at next year’s roster as of today:
Kofi
RJ
Goode
Hawkins
Dainja
Podz
Epps
Rodgers
Harris
TSJ
Skyy
Transfer big/BBV/Lieb
Transfer guard

I feel like with the last couple replies, people are getting back on the AM train? Am I reading too much into this or am I onto something?

 

[nichi]

I think you’re right. And with Podz being only player from WI, Goode only player from Indiana and Kofi only player from Jamaica, it makes little sense for them to stay. Maybe they’re leaving too.

Sencire Harris will be the only player from Ohio. What is he thinking?

Saw this on Twitter somewhere. It looks like he was trying on a pair of shoes at the Portal Shoe Store in Connecticut, and the photo got pinned with the store name, but who knows. A good detective can see that the floor of the store does match the floor of him trying on the shoes. So the next question is was he in Connecticut lately?

That is a remarkable coincidence.

Podz
Epps
Rodgers
Harris
TSJ
Skyy
Transfer big/BBV/Lieb
Transfer guard

I thought we only have 13 scholarships not 15.

Skyy has not committed. Can we stop all the assumptions until we hear official word?

 

[ChiefIllinois]

he already apologized on his twitter and said he got misinformation lol

Gotta use that line next time I get caught in a bold faced lie.

 

[KofiComeBack2022]

Yes, the transfer big/BBV/Lieb line means only one of the three.

 

[KofiComeBack2022]

Neither has TSJ. No assumptions made, therefore a guess, as stated at the top.

Brandon Murray Coming to the Illini next year would be great.
Any news on the young man?

I wouldn't hold my breath. He is from Baltimore and the assistant that recruited him to LSU moved to Georgetown. We'd have to rely on the fact that Georgetown has been terrible under Ewing and the fact that Patrick might not be long for that job to win him over.

 

[TheFameProtector]

RJ DELETED THE TWEET OH MAAAAHHH GAWWWWWDDD he gone

 

[nichi]

I am guessing RJ and his dad would like to meet with the staff before finalizing their plans for the immediate future. That actually sounds reasonable to me.

 

[KofiComeBack2022]

This would be very unfortunate.

If only we had a recruiter with a Baltimore connection.

 

[Calvin]

Do people not like Ant Wright for some reason? I've seen a few of his breakdown videos, and he does a nice job. Pretty sure he's said nice things about our commits.

RJ DELETED THE TWEET OH MAAAAHHH GAWWWWWDDD he gone

The original tweet was deleted (about RJ entering the transfer portal), and the guy that tweeted the false news apologized for it. My guess is that RJ deleted his tweet because it was in reference to a tweet that no longer exists. Nothing to see here, folks. Calm the eff down!
