Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[logjam]

Well, only 3 of the top 75 2024s have committed already, so the data says it's atypical to be getting commitments from 2024s right now. If ZZ is truly top 75 as people are suggesting we have half off all CBB's top commits. Is that not beating others to the punch?

I could care less when people choose to go to college, and sure I'll take a great player early if that's what he's gonna do. My point was, all else considered I'd rather have the one year older version of a player. Maturity is a benefit at that age, unlike us old farts where an extra year is a negative.

Agree with your 1st paragraph....gotta take pie/year when pie is passin...

Tyrese Hunter, big 12 freshman of the year and standout pg for Iowa State, is in the portal. Any interest from Illinois in him or vice versa? He looked very impressive in the tourney. Could this be the veteran pg we are looking for? He is a former top 50 recruit from Racine, WI so hoping he doesn’t go to the Badgers….

Read he's looking for a better NIL...

Word is that he is specifically and vocally pursuing NIL money. Since Brad said on video, "If the first thing a recruit asks about is NIL, I'm hanging up the phone." I'm guessing there isn't a good match.

20 pages. Always nice when it's good news vs a meltdown.

Nice to get a new commit. Welcome, ZZ!

If you think this was 20 pages of reacting to good news...

If you're going to randomly say names, at least say a good one:

Doesn't get any better than Phil Kunz.

Just to make sure this name nonsense goes solidly into a second day, my profile picture Nick "Spoooon" Weatherspoon.

And to keep the purists happy, Welcome ZZ!

In probably the worst keep secret of last week, Hopkins officially commits to Providence.

Wow he reminds me of Fred Van Vliet in high school and even now. Coached against him in high school.

This sounds like a Dutch-French love child.
