Remember, @SescIllini, only post happy recruiting news or prepare to be eviscerated. I picked a word with “sc” together in your honor, but now? Prepare to die.

I think the offense will likely be better. The defense is more of a question to me. Monte and Trent were plus defenders. Hard to replace that on the defensive end. Sure they were both smaller for who they typically guarded but they more than made up for it. Length does help but defense is always about effort and willingness.

I will say a line up of Skyy, RJ, TSJ, Hawkins, and Kofi has a very high ceiling. That doesn't even account for some of the other guys that would be in the rotation. Only concern would be 3 pt shooting. I don't think there is a lights out shooter on the team or talked about in the transfer market. They can be solid as a group but I wouldn't call it a strength.

I think that Piper, RW, SR…all of them secretly follow 0440, Lvill, and Indy and then slap a crystal ball down and act like they have some great info or revelation.
Props to our insiders for crystal balling this a couple weeks ago.
Sure, they don’t get it right all the time, but it doesn't mean our insiders got it wrong. It more often than not was correct info at that time, but sometimes circumstances change and/or kids change their minds.
Why this board doubts our insiders I can’t figure out.
Thanks for the info insiders…at least this guy appreciates it.

My question is if we have essentially had to choose sides in Chicago AAU programs when TA came on board, Mean streets over Wolves and MIF? Or does TA have such a great rep in Chitown that the rival AAU programs have no problem letting their players be recruited AND potentially committing to TA and BU? Any Chicago insiders care to share on the Irvins' and Mike Mullins' relationship with TA? Is it also expected that we'll get kids from Morgan Park, Kenwood, Whitney Young, and/or Simeon on a regular basis? Am curious how that current dynamic is viewed?

No one knows that. No one, including the major players.

Does it have to have boarders...why can't we be able to recruit with all...if we are successful they will come.
