Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Yup

Alum

Like a lot of things this too will wear out.

Now I'm more confused because it wasn't a yes or no question.

I am not saying this rudely because I had the exact same experience as you, but we probably had that experience because we were nowhere as good or wanted as Nance or any of the other kids discussed in this thread. These kids talk to coaches every single day lol

I think texting and social is the main difference. I had coaches flying across the country to watch me run around in PE class (I still think this is really weird). But no doubt Nance is in a higher tier of athletes than I was.

 

[SergioKittner]

Nance has talked to the staff about coming here. We wouldn’t be the favorite to land him if he hadn’t

Hopefully this goes the way we expect. And that it happens sooner than later for our sanity and for the team to have more time to gel.

We were worried about last years team gelling and honestly I’m not sure they ever did. Or if they did it only stuck for a game or two at a time.

Chemistry wasn’t bad but we couldn’t hit on all cylinders.

Wow....that's a pretty bold statement there Cal......commend you for your predictions

....lol

Either he’s alive or he’s dead… or the cops got him… or they don’t.

You conveniently left out that we had key players missing lots of games. Sort of hard to gel when you have so many injuries.

Which means more time together is beneficial, no? I think that’s all he was saying.

[IlliniLiveOn]

That’s what I liked about living in seattle (Sammamish). Never had to worry about what was under a bush!

That's what you think. 30 years ago, you did.

Don’t think we were hanging out in the same bars 30 years ago

 

[Illini92and96]

The Tucson Illini Club does things like that, though I can never go. Small children.

Yeah, I wouldn’t want to hang out with alumni that act like small children. I’d feel like I was around a bunch of Michigan fans.

Part of that may have been our commitment to running everything through the low block. But I agree w you.

Of course we battled injuries. Not sure what you’re trying to further in the convo by stating this. We will probably have injuries this year, too.

Sure but last year we had a lot more than normal.

 

[Muskie2368]

I agree last year was nonstop and multiple injuries. Also some very strange injuries for sure

I predict a period of light followed by a prolonged period of dark, followed by light again...
