Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

yeah all ten of their fans will be devestated

I was born in their hospital and I'm not even a fan LOL
Nance as an Illini would be interesting.
I loved watching his Dad play for Cleve when I lived there.

I get where Ant is coming from but I actually think Nance and Coleman could co exist quite nicely

Yep. We have literally no frontcourt depth right now, and both could play the 4/5 interchangeably. Dain has played 3 (?) college games. I don’t believe he’s a lock at the 5 until I see with my own eyes he’s more serviceable than Payne (not buying the coaching staff offseason hype this time around). Nance/CoHawk at the 4/5 creates quite the 5-out lineup with good size.

 

[GoodePodzMelendez]

Me too. However, if Nance coming would mean we lost CH, then we ain't done yet.

I dont think so. Hawk and Nance on the floor together would be awesome.

Agree. Dain, Hawk and Nance at the 4 and 5, and sprinkle in some Goode stuff.

All ten of them are legacy media guys, so there's that...

 

[BashCtIllini]

A double boom?

 

[727ill]

Nance is the stretch 4/5 we have wanted forever. He was severely underutilized at northwestern.

He could really be a first team all B10 type player here.

Glad I don't have twitter so I'm not tempted to drop a note to Teddy.

Also loved watching his dad play with the Cavs. And his brother is giving the Pelicans a nice spark off the bench in their bid to upset the Suns. Would love it if this rumor is true.

 

[signILLINIman]

Also loved watching his dad play with the Phoenix Suns. His best years!

I was a season ticket holder during those times!

Actually, I bet we see them playing together more than some think. 5 out. You need two bigs who can drain 3s and pulling them out allows the 'backcourt' to drive in the lane. Sounds a lot like the NBA? Looks like @grantlab was thinking along those lines also

Not to mention minutes at the 3 for CoHawk. I'm sure Coleman is smart enough to realize this will work out fine for minutes and points. Hopefully BU can make the case.

Even if Dain lives up to the hype foul problems are very likely for a first year big. Kofi was extremely good at avoiding them but Dain, Hawk and Nance would all get plenty of mins. Would love this to happen as all three can play outside. Add a seasoned PG and we are top 20 minimum.

11. One of those two guys from the Sonic commercials.

 

[trtl]

Lol. You're the one being juvenile. No one said primary factor. A factor. The guy by appearances knows what he's doing. Doesn't need our advice.

Yes, with Dain’s physical shape and lack of game experience, I don’t see him playing much more than 20mpg. (Love his game just trying to be realistic for first year expectations) Nance and Hawkins could very easily coexist, likely on the court together a lot. Would be quite the duo

Imagine being a kid with the misfortune of being raised a Northwestern fan.

Can someone summarize what dominoes have fallen or are falling? I hope they aren’t talking about me falling at the domino’s parking lot earlier.

We got that on video you know!

Feel like I gotta leave this threads until one of these guys actually happens. I’m letting my mind get way to ahead of itself.
