Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[ptgrd23]

Our roster is very thin
3 losses to portal - Andre, Brandin and Omar
4 losses to graduation - Jacob, DaMonte Trent Austin

Current
FR - Ty, Skyy, Jayden and Sincere
Soph - Luke RJ
JR - Coleman, Lieb
SR- BBV

9 of 13 scholarships. Even with Kofi we are only at 10.

I see at least two adds via thr portal

If Kofi comes back then a 2/3 and a PG thru portal

Your story here lends itself to the baby gif of Curbelo in the other thread.

Also post #20 in this thread.

Ummmmm, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Belo the one that announced he was transferring? Sounds to me like HE was the one giving up.

Belo could still come back and I am sure the coaching staff would welcome him back.

It’s our fanbase that has been embarrassingly disrespectful to Belo. But keyboard warriors gotta warrior. And I realize the irony since I am a DMFW keyboard warrior defender.

IF Belo does return, personally I’ll be jacked. A healthy offseason to reset could be all he needs to takeoff. If it’s here awesome, if it’s somewhere else closer to his family I’ll be happy for him personally.

He is a true wizard with the ball. If you don’t think so, go watch some 2020/2021 tape again.

man how do you think of this stuff!

I didn't say he is coming back, nor do I think he will be back. But the ship hasn't sailed on it. Podz was the piece that needed to enter the portal for Adam to really have a spot here.

Oh, sorry I wasn't clear. I meant I thought the ship had sailed on Curbelo coming back. I stand by my comment on a better chance Miller comes back than Curbelo. Your statement is interesting and makes a lot of Illini sense now w Podz leaving. Still doubt it will happen but can make sense.

A gif of someone smiling?

And apparently it is sad to see him play with his dog in the Quad for some reason and that means he needs friends and the only legit friends he can have are Illini basketball players … except not Omar or Podz.

4/18 this year!!!...almost caused a panic attack lol

I did kind of a funny thing...got married on 4/14 so I'd never forget our anniversary. Day before tax day...then they went and changed it!

 

[sdfidaho]

Unless all classes are online, wouldn’t he have to continue to complete his class work if he wants to play somewhere/anywhere this Fall?

Asking for a friend….

I think they will be guys to enter the portal that pull from the draft that we will look into. BU kind of commented on that too yesterday. "A second wave". It will be interesting to see who is in the draft now but will enter the portal. I'm sure there will be quite a few. Could get real interesting.

I think we're all going to need some serious therapy once the roster is set. Never thought I had an addictive personality, but these last few weeks have proven me wrong.

Difference between Belo coming and/or going is fluid.

You guys can join me.....maybe we will get a group rate.

Or you find a new facet of the team to channel your obsession.

Much more cost effective

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread right now are the boars on the floor.

Is he tossing them bacon?
