A Battle? I thought it was a Gill.
Sorry, I could help myself.

Like... a Kenny Battle?
Well, one of his players left early and got drafted and the other was a first team All American who also left because he thought he was going to get paid. Those are both good things for him/the program. Heck, same could potentially be said about Hawkins. Can't cherry pick on what didn't work out.
I get that kids make their own decisions, but I really hope his dad's love of the Illini has major sway here.
I didn't draw any conclusions, positively or negatively. Just pointing out a peculiarity. Yes, he's had 3 players leave early to go pro. Will probably be 4 after this year. That's a good thing.
Edit: 4 players leave early to go pro if you count the Frenchman

JMoser16 likes to "set me straight" for some reason. No problem, I appreciate all opinions whether I agree with them or not. I thought that's what team fan forums were for, to share opinions. In this case, it seems we are saying pretty much the same thing. You disagree with my using "flyer," and I can understand that. It just seems that there was some concern initially with Skyy's injury and movement in high school. But like I said, I was as excited as anyone when he committed and I wish it would have worked out. We would be in a much better position had it, but I don't fault anyone for what happened.

So watching these high school teams at SFC take nothing but good shots is frustrating.
With Moretti and Lawhorn coming in, can we afford another roster spot for a point guard? Would think they would know what they have in Moretti after a semester of practice. Have no idea of capability of these two but wouldn’t think we would want to give up length to play them at the two.
BU had to re-recruit those guys. J. Pickett and Tilmon were also in that class. Monte & Trent had the same options as them.
I could say, "Brad Underwood has never had a player that he recruited out of high school play for him at Illinois for four years.", but that's really beside the point. In fact, I had no point. It's just an interesting barstool "Did you know?"ism. You can draw your own conclusions about what it means, if anything.
Reggie Bass is in the portal. Lol
Knew that was coming …
He had a very solid year … Will have serious interest …
I feel like that whole class is all over the map. Since they didn’t get as much exposure thanks to covid.
If Storr enters will we have serious interest?
I would guess he and his family wouldn't have interest since we kinda cut him loose, right?
Wasn’t that a bad fit last time around? Or did I dream that?
Speaking of state… who cooled on who? Brock Harding or the Illini?
But if you get them 2nd year, they’ll have a year’s experience and they can’t transfer again without sitting out a year.

Was he the one “committed” while the rub on here was basically that he didn’t have an actual spot?
Then he “decommitted” and went elsewhere.
I think that was him right?
If so, I’m surprised we’d be able to lure him back.
And our results absolutely prove that! /S/
