I can talk all I want, this is 'Merica land of the free and home of the bad@$$

That is one of the more Florida gifs I've seen in awhile.

after reading through all these pages of nonsense, I’ve come to one conclusion… That @RodSerlingsHeater has the best username on this God forsaken forum

Is there like a double secret IllinoisLoyalty newsletter for getting actual recruiting news? @illini0440? @LvilleILL? @Indy Illini Fan? @sharpshot16?

Not that it’s a surprise, but would have loved to have him.

Oh that will never work around here.

Yeah, you know it's better for us if you start near and keep putting it off. Even if it wasn't ever really suppose to happen until three weeks.

Still my favorite Loyalty GIF of all time, even though it didn't work out with Snider in the end (kind of epitomizes the whole Groce era).

Any NEW news? Unfortunately, my IPad is OLD and won't open Twitter messages, so I am kind of lost, lol.

1-4 weeks

hmmm.. that means somewhere between...

1 week * 7 days/week * 15 recruiting thread pages/day = 75 pages
AND
4 weeks * 7 days/week * 20 recruiting thread pages/day = 560 pages

.... and still no news

Not as lost as some posters on here. #ChickenLittle

To answer your question, no real news. It appears the staff is focusing on players who have declared for the NBA draft but are likely to withdraw and enter the portal. The deadline for entering the portal is this Sunday, IIRC.

Before Dan closes this thread and cracks opens a freshie... and seeing how we are obviously going to be (impatiently) waiting for more recruiting news over the next 1-4 weeks... Florida man GIFs FTW.

Interest initially. TSJs camp was the one that reached out to Illinois….then drama with the recruitment,MIF, family members….turned into his high school recruitment 2.0. Thanks but no thanks

@illini0440 does it seem like interactions with MIF will be tough moving forward?

 

[jamarvelous31]

These numbers don’t pass the sniff test. There are about 350 division 1 schools, each with 13 allowable scholarship players. With the freebie year things are a bit murkier but let’s say 1/4 of students graduate. That leaves 350 x 13 x .75 = 3,423 division 1 players (rounding). That’s still a lot of transfers in the portal, but I haven’t even added in division 2 and 3 players in the calculus (which I assume are a part of those 1,420 students). In any event, it’s certainly not 3/4 of players transferring this year as this would seem to suggest.

1/3 of the players are walk-ons

Not Tyler obviously but I feel like we invested in Tim because we didn’t really care.

That could just be me making stuff up in my mind to make me feel like we’re good enough to ignore them now.

Its ok. Maybe we'll get another shot when he enters the portal next offseason?

When you're dealing with adults that act like toddlers.....yes.

Not Tyler either but you are correct.
