Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

SOURCE: Illini had offered Mitch Pouilliard (6'3" 200lb grad transfer with a bum foot and zero athletic ability) $1.5M in NIL, but he turned it down for the sanctity of the program. #Hero

Bama and Gonzaga are heavily involved in nance. Don’t expect him after Meyer. Meyer was a money deal and Illinois got it done. And before you say it, I know, I know, first post but I have a connection on this one and it’s not from Illinois.

User name will carry you far.

O Great & Powerful Insiders:

Are any more significant dominos expected?

So what next,? Who are we looking to add if anyone? I love our talented freshman guards. I do hope we do consider an experienced PG. A year for Gapare to develop if he reclassified could be good too. Any thoughts?
Always recruiting right?

It's your first post, which obviously is a little suspect, but that username does inspire a fair bit of confidence. At least you have your priorities straight in the realm of produce.

So we are likely to have a starting lineup of 6'3", 6'6", 6'7", 6'9" 6'10" with the first guys off the bench being 6'9", 6'7", 6'6", 6'2"

I declare us the John Holmes of college basketball

So many twists and turns the last 4-5 days….sometimes it’s better to just be quiet and see how things play out

I can't wait for the post-mortem

Yeah this is how I feel, too.

Insiders, any feel for what the starting 5 is gonna look like with this move? I see the likely options as:

Skyy-TSJ-RJ-Mayer-Dainja
Skyy-TSJ-RJ-Mayer-Coleman
Skyy-TSJ-Mayer-Coleman-Dainja

(Working under the assumption that Mayer wouldn’t have come here if he wasn’t assured he’d start)

Skyy-TSJ-RJ-Mayer-Coleman in all likehood. I can't see starting both Hawk and Diinja since they are the only bigs we have.

So we'll start a PG, three wings, and a PF. I like it. I predict we play really fast. If Skyy acclimates quickly at the PG spot, we should run some teams off the court.

Great exciting get but if I’m goode or melendez am I just as happy?

Luke seems ok with it. Makes everyone raise their game. All better in the long run.

RJ will start and Luke will get plenty of playing time.

Was Dainja the connection? Obviously they were teammates, but was there any other relationship?

Talk about overcompensating…
