Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Academics isn't really the issue.
Kentucky, Kansas, and a growing list that will get bigger if he has a good season this winter.
Is Derrick Rose's friend still available to sit in on some classes and take some tests for him?
Nothing like D Rose. Fears is a good student. But even for good students, graduating high school in three years isn’t that easy.
At some of the schools he is considering ... Wouldn't be an issue, but here it would be ... I think he will find a way to get it done but there is a reason he has not officially announced he is reclassifying yet ...
From everything I have gathered, all of the blue bloods do not want him for '24 ...

SO, if he cannot reclass, what do our odds look like if he ends up being a '25 and not a '24?

A pair of aces...Ace Baldwin and the return of Adam Miller for next season. Bold prediction, @illini0440
I'd be shocked if that is true. Recruiting is fluid. If they want him for '25 they'll probably want him some way for '24.
It's largely about the NIL money. Does Kentucky want to pay the same for him in 2024 as they would in 2025? Doubt it.
And on his end, what if he waits but then doesn't have a stellar season at Compass? Or gets injured?
These are the main reasons why Illinois is in pretty decent position.
Baldwin is a great player but I would have killed for Ashworth. Just an absolutely deadly shooter.
And Jase is a whole lot cheaper than Mikey ...
How come he only made Tennessee the only official visit?.

If you reverse those odds I agree with you.
Nice read…free article.
05/05 feels too pessimistic across the board
Idk there's just something about 05 that looks real nice to me.
Skip the 0 give me just a 5. Poof Deron Williams has committed again
Anyone comment on Morez shooting or have stats? Also would be interested to hear how his game differs from Ty. Seems similar at least in how their games are described - strong, aggressive, outstanding rebounder, dog around the glass, defends, but not a shooter. Ty obviously can pass and has decent handles.

Morez is an on the block true power forward. He and Ty aren't really comparable.
Morez is a post player...I'd assume he spends most of his time as the 5 in college. Ty is a 3/4 that can't shoot and not a post player.
