Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Illinirog70]

True, but in those days teams had 15 scholarships to work with. It wasn't possible to find playing time for that many guys.

I remember Lou Henson would have only 12 or so on scholarship as he wanted them to fight for playing time. Always had several scholarships open.

Great in the paint offensive - Illini since the 70's - JMO

1. Kofi Coburn
2. Deon Thomas
3. Brian Cook
4. Kenny Norman
5. Nick Anderson
6. James Augustine

Ken Norman was very crafty in the paint. I guess that’s why they called him “Snake.” Scored a lot of points in the NBA also.

If you’re going to say 70s, then. Nick Weatherspoon is on that list. 25 PPG and 12 rpg for Spoon as a senior. Over 20 and 10 for his career.

I love Augustine, but offensively he was average in the lane.
