Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Beat me to it....thats what I get for not reading the entire thread before posting...lol
If we are really last on that list, then look at because very few of those guys are very good.
Maybe, but not sure I trust Sleepers to know the rules either... don't see why he can't enter the portal which puts him off KY roster, graduate form ISU without ever being on their roster & then do the grad transfer to where ever... but honestly Reeves is barely on my radar, bonus if we get him, but would rather listen to everyone gnash their teeth over PG

Yeah, the elephant in the room is that Ty without a 3pt shot would probably pack the paint and be a disaster for spacing. Kinda sad to see an early ranking of 6th in the conference, but I can follow his thinking. Biggest question is PG, but also 3 pt shooting from last year was awful, and you wonder how much that will change.
As I read this I aspirated a piece of my roast beef sandwich..... After struggling for a bit, I'm now breathing normally and able to send out my appreciation for the humor
Well done Illiniwek!! Well done!!
I mean you can literally Google Iowa court cases and search names via the Iowa courts online search.
It's all public information.

They've worked themselves into a panic over a lot less than a gif.
A lot of things have been said on this board. Much of it ends up being false.

Possibly…
But if we can get the offense in constant motion, driving in and kicking it out—capable shooters flashing at the three line—defenses won’t be able to pack the lane.
Imagine if we have a team this year that actually runs plays - what a concept!

There's almost nowhere to go but up. A full year of Goode and adding Domask should certainly help also. Hansberry can reputedly stroke it from deep as well. Plus if TJS can bounce back to his averages from soph and junior year we should be just fine.
Great read.
Hey Insders — with the contact window open for 2025s, any info on who staff will likely target and/or what recruits might like Illinois? Seeing a forest of tweets about contact and wondering if there are a few trees we should keep an eye on.

Outside shooting: As long as we’re being optimistic (and why not?), Quincy can knock them down - and I’m expecting to see higher percentages on lower volume from TJ & Coleman.
It will not augur well for our season to shoot dead-last again in 3-pt FG.

There's this kid, Jeremiah Fears, you should def keep an EyeoftheIllini on
You noticed that they didn't have a name or face on our PG, right? Who are you comparing to the rest of the conference? We literally have no player, on the roster, that has exhibited legitimate PG skills on both ends of the floor. None. It's a big problem and going into the season using a PG by committee isn't a good thing.
My biggest fear is last 5 minutes of the game when you really need to be crisp with your passes and ball handling. That's where a true pg can be extremely valuable.Possibly…

I recall the Virgina game last year where it was close up until those last few minutes where our inexperience at pg really showed compared to their experience at that position.....and that was the difference in the game
Why aren’t we looking at Jeremiah Bremby from FSU? He is 6-6 175 but he can get to the rim with either hand and can shoot. He is coming off an injury from last year but this is a kid who can play. It sounds desperate but either him or CJ Fulton whop played at Lafayette last year. Had 5 apg and 5 rbs. Shot 85% from the line. Are we looking at either one?
