Wow, way creepy nostrils.
any update on Nance?
I can see that. I think Skyy is perhaps more skilled but I almost believe Epps is a better 3 point shooter. We shall see.Epps game is college ready. Think he makes an instant impact, and dare I say I think he can give us as much production as Skyy if he gets the minutes.
Fuggetaboutitany update on Nance?
Actually, all time means as far back as 247's records go. Accurate back to 2010. .
Spotty to 2002. They somehow have Tyler Griffey ranked ahead of Brandon Paul and DJ Richardson in 2009.
They have Deron as our only 2002 recruit.
Also, pretty sure they go by their ranking, not performance.
They have JR as our best all time recruit, their database excludes Dee Brown et al
I can see that. I think Skyy is perhaps more skilled but I almost believe Epps is a better 3 point shooter. We shall see.
That kids mobility looks terrible, even for a big guy.
had to be ,,,what,,, his freshman year?Sounds like we are looking international for a big man.
Groce was far more damaging to the Illinois program than Weber. It isn't close.Weber's terrible recruiting when we were at our program's apex really set us back at least a decade. Groce seemed like a nice enough guy and he had a lot of bad luck throughout his tenure but he wasn't the guy to slow down the negative momentum. Underwood was a homerun of a hire by Whitman. Even once he is done (hopefully not for a while), we will be in a great spot to land another great coach afterwards.
That is a great point! And makes me so happy.There's no questioning the talent. A few years ago he'd have been a left nut kind of a get.
Along these lines, I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we lost AM and our 3 coaches one year ago and things just keep getting better. At the time, I thought, “Well, that was a short run.”lol that's an understatement imo but yeah I can't emphasize enough how much I don't miss Weber or Gross as our coach. We are finally getting studs that want to be a part of Illini basketball . Coach Underwood inherited a dumpster fire and has done an exceptional job getting us back to where we all want Illinois to be and he's only getting started and seems to have the players all in on achieving the ultimate goal of being elite. and I for one can't wait for this upcoming season and the future of Illinois basketball.
GO ILLINI!
15ish year old with bulk. Time to work and grow into that bodyThat kids mobility looks terrible, even for a big guy.
Doesn’t sound like they are going after Butz. Think international.Seymore Butz, anyone?
Giannis?Doesn’t sound like they are going after Butz. Think international.
Fletch to the rescue.15ish year old with bulk. Time to work and grow into that body
Staff addicted to Kofi, looking for that second cup.That kids mobility looks terrible, even for a big guy.
I think Weber is the better coach. Groce is still improving and may close the gap. But Weber crashed a Benz and Groce totaled a Kia. I’m not sure which is worse, but I’m glad Underwood has the wheel now.Groce was far more damaging to the Illinois program than Weber. It isn't close.
Wow, I don't see that at all. He looks pretty mobile to me for a young kid with that kind of size who hasn't had opportunity to turn bulk into muscle.That kids mobility looks terrible, even for a big guy.
Here's a hot take: Weber was a fantastic X's and O's coach who failed to win at the recruiting game because he wouldn't play it the way needed to be successful. Remember when Derrick Rose and company visited him and his team (brother I think?) asked him, "What can you do for us?" Weber left the room. His integrity was a huge part of his downfall.Groce was far more damaging to the Illinois program than Weber. It isn't close.
