I'd be happy to be really impressed with this recruit, but when I watch that tape, the first half of it might as well be a shampoo commercial. Out of 30 seconds, he's actually playing basketball for about 7 or 8.

Well, there's an interesting twist for the day. Hopefully it's coming from a solid source. Also, hopefully he ends up at Illinois, not somewhere else.
"Maybe the best 2022 wing left on the board"
Uh, maybe, but if so it's because there's not a lot left on the board. Highest ranked uncommitted recruit I saw on the board was #140.
Hylton is unranked, and doesn't show any offers on 247. Does not appear to even have a page on Rivals. Verbal Commits shows one school, Western Illinois, with interest. If he ends up here, I'd guess PWO.
Personally Gapare looks really good to me and if he is a reclass with a year with Fletch and to learn then he appears to have a lot of ability on top of all that. That could be a mutually beneficial situation

Well this begs the question: do you have the urge for herbal?
Gapare is a different story altogether. He's now a top 50 recruit in the 2023 class per 247

I'll also add this isn't a huge surprise as he had legit offers to his name even before this ranking, which Hylton does not.

kinda goes without saying, no?
Don't think so, but the board had other ways of entertaining me....hot rumors, hot takes, flame wars. Lotta hot stuff back then.
Another chance to be a Recruiting Runner-Up. Heh. I want to believe, but I feel like UNC is a lock

I got gifted a 5 day weekend for memorial day from work.... This must mean we get Mayer and Nance... It's fate!
So was your “
” yesterday about Nance?
I love that 24/7shows us with 9 PF. Makes you wonder why we are after Mayer or Nance. The 9? - Hawkins, Dainja, Eboigbodin, Payne, Finke, Kane, Vesel, Giorgi, and BlackGapare is a different story altogether. He's now a top 50 recruit in the 2023 class per 247

Any updates or just happy hour cocktails?
NC was the team that sent Mayer's #1 seed Baylor team home too early in the Tourney. Me thinks he's leading them on out of spite.
