Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

It seems we have a lot of new posters, that is great...but some of the newbies don't seem to read the threads all the way through, and ask questions that have been answered 5-10 times earlier...

Bingo!

Also, some of the oldies don't seem to read the threads all the way through, and ask questions that have been answered 5-10 times earlier...

Agree he was ready to commit and illinois wanted more time to evaluate but shorter to say swing and miss (lazy)

That is interesting and Izzo took our leftover? I thought there were some requests from Fears' camp we were reluctant to agree.

I'm imagining 5 or 11 for Skyy. 25 has been historically "reserved" for Simeon products out of reverence for Benji Wilson. 5 and 11 have been associated with some of our best guards (Deron, Belo, Ayo, Dee, etc.) in my limited memory.

TSJ is a Simeon kid, and I pray he wears #25. TBH #55 on Skyy looks pretty good

He is not a Simeon kid. He went to Lincoln Park High School.

Skyy is going to wear 15

He didn't play at Simeon. He played at Lincoln Park then transferred to IMG

Why would RJ give up his number?

My bad. Misread it somewhere. I’ll leave the insider info to an actual insider.

On the question of scholarships, could someone arrange an nil deal that pays for Liebs remaining years and he becomes a walk- on? This way it would make another scholarship available.

Not unless Lieb is a stellar student who would have gotten the awards even if he did not play basketball.

The source of the funding, and whether you get counted as a scholarship are mostly independent for football/basketball. The rules are looser for other sports. There is an exception for scholarships “awarded solely on bases having no relationship to athletics ability.”(15.02.5.3) NCAA rules 15.02 contains the details. You can access them through the link given.

Honest question: if a kid attends Simeon in his earlier high school career and then leaves for a prep, is he still encouraged to wear the #25?

It ain’t us

Feels like Loyola.

Maybe RJ wants a different #, but looks legit
