Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
There is zero reasonable reason for Nojus to be all the way down at 85th.
Does anyone have an explanation as to why the Rivals 150 only lists 125 players?
2024 is a fair bit away, the focus is probably on 2023 for them. 247 only has the top 90 for 2024.
Brad has offered 33/125 or 26% of top 125 ranked players. I assume they are not all commitable
Silly me - I assumed after landing Perrin there would be a 3 month pause on news until basketball practice started.
I feel for the coaches - I guess even with dead period - recruiting is a 7/24 12 month a year commitment. I thought our coaching staff was younger but I guess not.
Chester 36
Tim 45?
Geof 41?
jump shot looks reasonable

Illinois added a French big man. Who is he?
Zacharie Perrin adds to a loaded 2022 class.

So you’re confirming he’s Toni Kukoc 2022?Perrin looks like he has great potential, I know he's been playing in the 21 and under league which I'm sure has a good deal of talent...but not sure the talent equals that of top D1 ncaa programs...otherwise there would be more of those players getting offers from major D1 programs here in the states....Perrin will play some meaningful minutes this year, but be in position to play major minutes year 2 & 3.....type of player that BU seems to be adding to the mix....pretty much checks all the boxes.....long, athletic, quick....and he's a lefty! Good job BU and staff
It’s called a “Bro”.
Rankings don't matter ... But these are pretty bad IMO and I watch all these kids a lot
Lot of familiar names in that article. Brad was after a lot of stud coaches.
Nice props for Chester.
Can Kurtis Townsend still perform when he's not the only carrying around bags of money?
W00t! I smell an August National Championship, baby!I agree, but keep in mind it's only June. Loyalty hype train hasn't even left the station yet.

I'm not impressed by any of the rating services, particularly when it's relatively early in the cycle. But I feel pretty strongly that 247 >> Rivals & ESPN. This latest list from Rivals reinforces that opinion.

No. 8 new players need to practice together for a while.
I wonder where Perrin would fit in this year's ranking had he played in the states. Also I am curious since he is being 17 and hearing how much he has grown if he is still growing over the past couple years if he is still growing or not.
Illini in OC

Hmm you know who would watch these kids a lot? The Illinois Director of Recruiting and Scouting. @Indy Illini Fan = Tyler Underwood confirmed.Rankings don't matter ... But these are pretty bad IMO and I watch all these kids a lot
Oh man if Elon Musk ever tries to buy this site he's going to try and drop the price alleging that at least 41% of the registered accounts are in fact just Tyler Underwood.
Did adding Perrin move our 2022 class ranking up?
I agree with this - his role won't allow him to match Giorgi's numbers next season as a freshman, but we don' want/need him to
He seems very comfortable in the high pick and roll and with his size and length, if he just rebounds, gets his points down low and passes out of the pick and roll well, he will be a high value contributor - if he develops and outside shot, he will be a star down the road. He also appears to have the right mentality and team mindset which is a huge part of long term success
No due to him being unranked (because he's an international recruit).
I'm aware...I'm aware!
