JMO - the success that transfer portal recruits like Alfonso, TSJ, Marcus, Quincy, and Justin have had combined with good NIL program and friendly admission department should make Illinois attractive to anybody in portal this year. Even Matthew Meyer could not complain - he was starter and got opportunity to go crazy in national TV game vs Texas.
Come to Illinois
- playing time
- program always contending for B10 title
- program has made NCAA every year
- NBA style offense and pace of play
- Rabid fan base
- Great strength and conditioning coach
- great TV NBA exposure in B10
- Brad will demand you play well
We did not get RayJ but are on equivelent level to Baylor where he went
Baylor #11 22-8 Illinois #12 22-7
Hard to believe we are back after the Weber downturn, Groce mediocrity, and rough first 2 years while Brad was rebuilding
