"In the portal"So, good bye Hawk and TSJ.It was fun while it lasted.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Mutual interest …
Whew!!!
Yep … Speaking of Mizzery …
Caleb Love & Jamarion Sharp … Wouldn’t be shocked if they got both …
As for Satan and the Auburn Tigers … Denver Jones will add some much needed scoring for them … He’s announcing soon …
Jalen Cook back to LSU … Will Wade couldn't come up with the cash … He’s getting $250,000 at LSU …
Hunter Sallis likely heading to Creighton … Nembhard replacement … Think this could wind up being a swap honestly … Nembhard for Sallis …
Unless Nembhard goes to AZ … Which opens up a big question that I’m sure everyone’s going to start asking …

Guessing this means no Bamba since it seems way too quiet there. And Knecht will be difficult to get, too. I'm guessing Harmon is committing soon, and the staff is holding tight on the yet-to-be-in-the-portal West Coast dude.
If you guys actually want to talk recruiting, start a new thread. Catfish Hunter’s free agency was really something wasn’t it?
Missouri sure got a good one with Gates. I didn’t think Woodson was going to do this well on the recruiting trail.
Woodson isn’t doing the recruiting … Mainly all Kenya … Yasir helps as well …
Dennis Gates will be in the running for Kansas and Kentucky when they open … He’s that good …

It's great because Mizzou fans were underwhelmed by the hire but I think most of us were mortified.
That buyout is pretty nuts unless it’s a blue blood …

Sharp is Coach Smithpeters guy.
Bingo … You’re good at this …
Sharp entered portal last year … Slick Rick dropped a fat bag to beat out Mizzou offer …
That makes sense on Woodson. Thought he’d be Lovie 2.0. But sounds like he’s got the right guys around him.
Totally believe that about Gates. I don’t want them to win but I think it’d be cool to see him at Kentucky.
Would Kentucky hire an African American HC … That’s the question …
Which is just crazy to say in todays world but it’s true … Boosters make the call … And that’s old money at both places …
That’s why Oats will be in high demand for both of them … Whoever opens first probably gets him …

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.
Yeah…that’s what I was referring to. With their history it’d be a cool story.
KYLAN BOSWELL?!!!

I can't imagine why he'd want to leave given that he now has the keys to the kingdom. But then again, our own experience proves that means nada.
