I wouldn't care where if he shoots them from or how many if he shoots 40 percent or better!

Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Where’s there’s smoke there’s usually fire. The point is the outside insiders are less confident in Illini landing either than the Illini insiders are. Much like the RayJ situation.
Nope. Not ridiculous at all. Very justified.

sounds like Paul passed on us
On one hand, I think Ty at PG gets our best five on the floor, which is great.
On the other hand, I’m already having flashbacks of Jaylon Tate dribbling at the three point line wondering why there was no defender within 15 feet of him.
How does Reeves compare to Plummer?
I think he'll actually be a redshirt junior this coming season. Iirc, he took a medical redshirt as a freshman. Then played three games his second year before transferring. He would be a 5th year redshirt senior the following season. Not sure, he might even potentially have a super senior season beyond that?
There was some confusion, or thinking he had taken a regular redshirt his first year, and a medical redshirt the year he transferred. That would have made him a freshman in eligibility last season.
Would have preferred Paul as he is the better fit for this team. I am not surprised that he doesn’t want to transfer within the conference. Sounds like he has respect for Steve and Rutgers as a whole. Hopefully Ty can give some continuity at the point this year especially getting steady minutes and a specific role for him.
Would be nice to not have to deal with all this knowing RayJ was our point guard going into the season.
What stretches of what games?? Rodgers is a high energy and effort guy. If they want a shooter then he is the last guy you want on the floor for extended minutes and he has never really played PG in his life.
I remember watching Sergio before Frankie got here playing point who was actually a much better version of Rodgers.
It was still less than ideal.
Why are we hell bent on recruiting over Domask and Goode who are both considered good shooters?
I would love to disagree with you,,,, but I can't.
My wife grew up in Robinson, also.

Sergio, at PG, was not "a much better version of Rodgers"
As Thornridge alum, I hate that jersey.

To also be fair , I can not understand the offense being run at UK.............Even with Oscar T. the last couple of years it seemed more confusion than distribution as a whole.........I do remember Reeves shot some 3 pointers on the fast break transition game last year
but I wasn't overly impressed with his play and kinda wondered what the big deal was when he left ISU.........
We need a healthy , waiver passed PG more than anything else , IMHO........A good PG will result in more points by way of assists than anything Reeves could do.........
I am confident that Goode will boost our 3 p %..................looks like Domask will also...............
I am very excited to see what Amani H. brings to the Illini.....
Hope Dra can progress enough to see some time on the court....
Cohawk and TSJ should also improve their stats from last year as it could be their last.......( I can't keep up with the covil year and all the portal stuff)
Well , NL # 3 is calling me , so ta-ta.............................
I don't think adding Reeves is recruiting over them much.. You can never have enough shooters. Maybe Domask or Goode could play the 2 but I expect them to battle Quincy at the 3/4 or back up the 3/4 spot Hawk should plays 30 plus between the4/5 . TSJ plays 30 plus at the 3/2. I see Reeves playing the 2 or a little 1.
A line up with several shooters on the floor often would be a nice change.
Mhm or mulcahey just wasn’t gonna transfer to a conference rival after leaving his home state so they are moving to Reaves
Agree with this. Reeves can score it but doesn’t fill the biggest need. After march all we heard Brad talk about was how we need PG play and have to run offense. That PG in my opinion needs to be a threat to score from outside 10ft as well. Think this is a huge mistake and also think this staff doesn’t just get the “benefit of the doubt” anymore after last season and this offseason. Hope I’m wrong but they’ll need to prove me wrong to gain my benefit of the doubt trust back
I like the staff quite a bit but “we actually don’t even want a point guard” is an insane amount of copium lol.
Very unfortunate the Illini have a game at Rutgers this year, might have made a difference....
I think they really wanted RayJ. I have not heard or read any sour grapes regarding him.
Sounds like Mulcahey isn't at all interested. Why waste time pursuing him? That is not sour grapes.
I don't understand the interest in Reeves, don't see the need, they have Shannon, Damask, Goode.
I don't understand sleeping on Moretti; if that is what is happening.
Wondering what's up with Harmon.
GMAB. People here have Rodgers as a lottery pick if he can learn to shoot. He is a 7/8 guy on a good team at best right now.
Sergio would not have allowed Pickett and Perkins and a host of others to abuse us I can tell you that, and he could shoot beyond 3 feet.
