Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[illini0440]

Question for insiders. Is the likeliest or top candidate for transfer big already in the portal, or not yet?

no

 

[illini0440]

A wing and two bigs? Or maybe a wing, a big, and a backup point guard?

The second option, with the wing being the least likely to happen.

 

[sacraig]

Matt Chastain is one of the transfer options, isn't he...?

 

[Kathy]

I Don't Know Who That Is

Go to your meeting

Go to your meeting

It's break time.

That implies that David Jones and TSJ aren't likely. And perhaps Ramey is still in play. I'll be curious to see which big-man enters the portal soon.

It's break time.

The meetings will continue until we figure out why nothing is getting done around here.

Hiiiiighwaaay tooooo the Dainja Zone!

It's a technical conference. Most of the value is in the networking between sessions anyway, but I stepped out early due to a desperate need for coffee and Illinois basketball transfer clues.

 

[That’s Game Son]

Is Julian Phillips not considering Illinois? What I read he didn’t mention Illinois but maybe now since there are more buckets to share??

 

[gshaw5142]

TSJ isn’t happening. Staff has moved on.

 

[Illini8420]

I will say this. I'm looking forward to a different offensive style. Kofi was a beast, but too many times our offense was four guys standing around and watching him get triple teamed.

I'm not sure about CH at the 5, but if we can add a little more quickness and movement at that spot it's probably going to help the offense not be so stagnant.

Agreed. We’re trending in the right direction. Getting more versatile and getting faster. The great teams play like more like this.

I totally understand. Plenty of time for tech content and networking after the coffee and transfer info is attended to!

I thought that the ship had totally sailed to Michigan but am hearing now that Illinois is back in the mix. I am sure this one will have pretty intense NIL$$ negotiations. There is concern with regards to Manny Bates and his shooting shoulder injury and recovery. We will end up with a big time portal center.Go Illini

I read a rumor that he may end up back in Lubbock because of his credits situation. #Notaninsider

 

[redwingillini11]

Where are these transfers? You promised us transfers! I want my transfers now!

 

[uofi7477]

You just got let these things play out.

Why, that is no fun!

 

[Tevo]

Hiiiiighwaaay tooooo the Dainja Zone!

I reeallly hope the Illini Band adds Danger Zone to their catalog for next season. Do they still play "I Ain't Got Nobody" or "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go"?

 

[NoDetails]

I three I would like to add
1. Veteran PG in Ramey
2. Wing in Jones
3. Big in Bryce Hopkins

 

[LFOD]

I'd love to see Ramey join us. We need a mature guard who already knows how to defend.

A new Insider!

Hopkins is gone, daddy gone. Sounds like Jones is iffy. I'm highly curious what big we're looking at. (Or more importantly, what big the Illini coaching staff is looking at. ;-))
