Going to be tough to say the least but this is one to keep an eye on
Don't know if anyone posted over the weekend but Zacharie Perrin had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists to lead France to an 89-86 win over USA at the FIBA U19 World Cup Semifinals.
He had 20 rebounds in the Gold Medal Game, but France came up short against Spain 73-69 in Overtime. Perrin lead the tournament in rebounding and was selected to the tournament First All Star Team. He averaged 15.4 Points Per Game on 65.2 % from the field along with 10.9 Rebounds Per Game.
Another player in the Underwood era that was on campus but "wasn't a good fit" and that it was "better for both sides" if he moved on. Seems like we have a lot of those!

Koa has #1 overall pick potential.
If Illinois has a chance, then running with Ty at the point makes sense if Underwood wants to show that he’s truly okay with running an offense with a point forward. I know that’s not even close with the main reason for going with Ty but it doesn’t hurt.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. LvilleILL wrote the other day that he was homesick and wasn’t much you could do.

bend it to fit the narrative
Do we actually have a chance at him? I know were involved early but he seemed to have cooled on us.
Would be an awesome get to pair with Morez next year and everything I've heard has said he's been great lately. Best shooter in his class.
I would say it would help if his dad played at Illinois but his dad went to Northern for football before playing in the NFL so he may hold a grudge at the hometown team not recruiting him.
Also, all of his siblings have played college sports and none of them have went here.

There’s a reason for everyone. We have a lot of guys with reasons where there “wasn’t much you could do.”
Why people treat the insiders like they’re on the payroll in the PR department I will never understand

There’s a lot more to that story, trust me. Not on Underwood.
Tbf he literally dipped in the middle of the night without telling anyone. Brad was glowing about him in the days before he left.
Dad or Grandpa? Seems like his Grandpa was close to my age. Could be mistaken.
???
IIRC he wanted to turn pro - he wasn't going to get any NIL playing for us, so I don't think it had anything to do with "fit"
I actually think the negative recruiting that might be going on is Illinois/Underwood can't recruit or keep lead guards.

Watched the game, nobody on the opposing team could guard him. The guards just couldn't get Rez the ball or do it effectively. Guards also never met a three point shot that they didn't love!
... Rez should've had 25 to 30 points easyHappy 4th guys!!
