CI just assumed Matthew Mayer could only endorse PBR, Copenhagen, and Charlie Daniels. But I may be judging a book by its cover.
If he does , I want him over any other transfer.

Not too much in this article about Mayer, you haven’t already seen here, but I didn’t realize he only shot 32% from 3. Also a blurb here about Kofi and the draft. SI ranks Kofi 100th as a draft prospect. Usually SI is completely irrelevant but they’re not far off the other ranking services here.

Except Vecencie (sp?), at The Atlantic, who is pretty good at this stuff has Kofi going near the bottom of the 2nd round.

Didn't see this in the previous pages but Mark Tupper was on the WAND sports show tonight and said he thinks Jake is leaning towards coming back to play one more year. I know he have the room but would this effect Mayer or Nance? See I did it recruiting news!😂😂

I do hope he does get picked up, or at worst picks up a two-way contract somewhere. I’d really like to see how well he plays up in the league.

Coleman Hawkins will have a better year than Skyy next year
Very possible. Hawkins is a wildcard. As many good things that he does, he then commits dumb fouls and takes himself out of the game. If the maturation curve continues, awesome baby! I think we'd all love to see Coleman Hawkins blossom into an All conference player. The original post was discussing skyy and RJ not C-hawk.

My point was more if Skyy is the 2nd best player then I think we’ll all be pretty disappointed with the results this season. I do think TSJ, Hawkins, RJ and Nance if he does transfer will all be better though and as long as they are as good as advertised Illinois will finish the season in or around the top 10.

RJ and Skyy are multi dimensional. Nance is a shooter and not a plus rated defender.
Nance has the athleticism to be a heck of a defender with the right coaching and system. I also think you underrate his midrange game and ability to get to the basket. He was the 8th most efficient player in the B1G last year.

Hate arguing about a hypothetical, which is what Nance being an Illini is.

That said, Nance has averaged 15 ppg in college. He’s played four years at this level. And he’s a decent rebounder and defender and scores inside and out. If we’re lucky enough to get him, he’d likely be one of our two best players.

That’s one way to develop bad locker room and team chemistry. Let’s hope we just wouldn’t do that to a guy spoken so highly of by staff.
Another way to develop bad locker room & team chemistry is playing someone over others when their not playing as well as some of their teammates. The coaches should get the best players possible and play whoever gives them the best chance to win. Hurt feelings be damned.

Kofi at 72 on CBS Sportline NBA board..
I really think the Dallas Mavericks could really use Kofi's service and be very productive there.....Mavz have no kind of inside presence (since Tyson Chandler - IMO) that he would give them...play solid defense under Kidd and Kofi would kill it with Luka and Brunson (if he remains a Mav) ...rolling to the hoop

TL;DR- Let us continue to be excellent towards each other, or kindly utilize the ignore feature, & plz be patient with the ebb & flow of the recruiting thread.

I had a more robust post planned, however I believe that covers it^^^ Go Illini
