Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Indy Illini Fan]

Oh great! Now Indy’s probably headed to the insider transfer portal. Me and my big mouth.

I want $250,000/year … Or else … Will be keeping my options open if I choose to enter the portal …

Top 27 message boards list dropping next week … Stay tuned …

Yup. We’re just really really good guessers. Lol

I’ve been hit up by 55 message boards and I’m not even officially in the portal yet …

If/when Tyger and/or RayJ hit the portal, what are we expecting the competition to be?

 

[WeWillWhen]

The question with Derrick Rose isn't with him getting paid, because, like, duh.

The question is how they faked his SAT. Like it's been a throwaway line in things that John Calipari arranged for someone to take Rose's SAT for him. Uh...how?

That's quite a bit harder to fool than the Barney Fife's down at NCAA enforcement.

Money helps with a lot of things.

I can't believe that anyone is still hung up on hair. What century are you living in? I can see it now, Illinois wins the National Championship. They hand Tyger the trophy. Someone from Loyalty posts : Tyger's hair looked awful in that trophy presentation! Couldn't watch, turned the channel. Watched Andy Griffith. Everyone on that show had great hair.

Lloyd the barber had all of Mayberry looking ready for G.Q.

I assumed he meant Chet Walker and some connections he might have built in the area playing with the 76ers.

Naw, has to be the late, great finger style guitar picker Chet Atkins.

I’ll send the link to the go fund me

This is what I don't get with this board. Am I just an old now?

The rumors tied to Reggie Rose and almost every Chicago player Illinois lost to Kansas all revolved around bag men and IL playing it straight. My assumption with NIL has been payment being above board helps IL overall since we're not as caught up by internal compliance & being an easy legacy target for NCAA sanctions.

We're never going to get every recruit, but having a big boy coach willing to fight for big boy prospects gives us a real shot at putting up more banners. Hopefully the lessons learned from last year get us a roster that's built for the 2nd weekend.

You think we didn't play that game to get Ayo?

Who are you saying specifically broke the rules?

 

[cs04]

I know many aren't fans, but I legitimately love the bonus Portal- and NIL-fueled silly season that we get after the tourney is done.

 

[illini0440]

Who are you saying specifically broke the rules?

Am I going to be incriminated if I answer this?

 

[thechampishere]

I'm going to default to the "bag man" broke the rules.
