Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

No, because we didn't get a guy from Toledo while also passing on multiple other PGs that wanted to come here who are now at other schools.

Also mentioned how this happens almost every year that we are missing one key piece. This is just another year like the others and at some point we're going to have to want something more as a fanbase.

Personally I would rather wait it out with Brad than have him be fired and then having Morez transfer as a result.

Jeremy Fears is looking pretty darn good now. But no... y'all insisted the Clark brothers were the way to go. How comical it's all turning out to be.

Yep, everyone on here insisted that except you. You knew….and the fact that he hasn’t played a game in college to this point absolutely proves the rest of us wrong.

Plus blond hair, can't remember another blond haired Illini MBB player since, heck didn't Groce have one with a blown out knee?

How soon we have forgotten Ace Wolf.

 

[AyoDos11]

Or don't lol

Don't bother.

Me during the last hour plus of reading:

Biggest miss of Brad’s tenure and it’s not even close …

Kalkbrenner another big miss imho

 

[Travis1173]

Because he probably won't get a waiver and last time I checked we still need an actual PG and now all the scholarships are full.

He’s got 2 years of eligibility, minimum and averaged 4.3 assists at Temple. And a torn Achilles in October means his transfer sit out year was a complete wash. This is a walk in the park waiver.

Should we wait to see what RayJ does at Baylor before we make that call?

 

[Illini90]

The bigger question is does Quincy Guerrier leave now that Coleman is back?

 

[Illini9089]

I'm confused.....

Nah

Also can't shoot, average at best finisher, and a bad free throw shooter. And this is all before a severe injury. We'll see on the waiver.

yeah, I was probly the biggest Papi fan here and I totally concur. damn, crying shame. what a waste.

Agreed. He was so entertaining but raw. It's too bad he had the injury and was also apparently nearly uncoachable, because a polished version of his show would have been incredible.

 

[WyattEarp]

OK, should have said rotational players, I turn off the game when the scrubs come in

Blasphemer! Lol.

now you're talkin' LOL

 

[CentralILLini]

Woodbury. Yes.

 

[Bert2022]

I would rather see DGL bounce then Moretti. Mainly because I don't think DGL will play much anyways and then immediately transfer after this season.

Interesting...I hadn't thought about it that way.

 

[Illini 993]

Are we sure that someone will have to be "Creaned" to add players? For all we know, a player(s) might have already been considering leaving, and the coaches would know. BTW, Woodbury would be a pretty good save for BU.

incredible is the right word. so much flair, skill and joy. the only thing missing was the shot. could have been one of the all-time greats. ugh

 

[Gunner23]

hmm and a football team with two qb's , has no qb

Also, a broken pencil has no point.

 

[Travis1173]

Also can't shoot, average at best finisher, and a bad free throw shooter. And this is all before a severe injury. We'll see on the waiver.

But do we need him to score or do we need him to distribute? He’s a 49+% finisher from 2. His free throw shooting does suck and his 3 pt shooting could use work, but if all we need is someone to distribute the ball, it feels like we could do worse.

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

"Hansberry" and "Creaned" in the same sentence was probably the craziest thing I have read this morning

Edit: And that's saying a lot

I’m no where near panic mode, but if I was seeing that would alleviate any fear. I mean if Creaning a top 75 recruit is a possibility, this team is stacked.

 

[Wrightandjohnstreet]

How does Geoff still have a job?

Literally deadweight. This isn't talked about enough. Apparently he coached our offense last season too, which was the worst its performed in years.
