First, said Jeremiah really liked Juwan Howard, but Jeremy Sr. told him "nah - he won't be around next year, so take them off your list."
Second, MSU thought getting Jeremiah was a lock, but they didn't feel like that system was right for him and that Illinois was a much better fit. He was really pushing Jeremiah towards Illinois (which I think we've all heard from the real insiders).Also shared that back in the early 2000s during his recruitment, he was originally committed to Purdue, but then decommitted and ended up at Ohio U. When Painter was recruiting Jeremiah, said he didn't want to miss out on his third member of the Fears family.
Funniest thing is he said he and Jeremiah fight everyday b/c Jeremiah wants to come to Illinois next year. Said he's bored of playing in Prep School and is just dominating everyone (dad's words
), so wants the challenge of college. Dad wants him to do one more year in H.S. I did my part and told him we'd welcome Jeremiah with open arms next year if he wants to come.Not recruiting related, but he did mention that Jeremy Jr.'s leg is healing nicely. He's about 80% and should be 100% recovered in another 6 or so weeks...

Hard pass! Talented guy who has zero passion or effort.
Absolutely hard pass. There's a reason BU took his foot completely off the gas pedal when this kid was halfway thru his high school career. Talent galore but not much motivation. If he could ever figure that latter part out he'd be a heckuva player!

As long as Sanderson wants to be here ... His salary will be taken care of ... Don't worry about that ...
Sanderson is a big family guy ... Stability is a big deal for that family ... His wife and family are awesome ... Michigan did them dirty ... They mentioned MANY times how Illinois fans and staff have been so welcoming and caring ... They LOVE it ... They feel like part of the FamILLY ...
I cannot like this enough!!!!!!

For the last 10 minutes of virtually every game this season I thank the basketball gods that Fletch is in the building on Brad's staff. I have yet to see a game this year where the ILLINI were not the better conditioned team, even when Brad has played a short bench. Which is when why we run, like yesterday, we can score 90+ points a game and win a National Championship.
was not too good in second half against coleman… also did not like that of the basketball throw dunk attempt… back to meh for me

wasn't he on a USA national team? not all that familiar w/him, but guessing he's pretty good
I love it that we're becoming a destination now
AJ Storr your table is ready for next season. After this week I’m all in. I believe he would excel with Illinois style of play.
Was it? 24 points on 20 shots against our defense?

That’s my guy !! Glad you guys were able to chat !!
I for one doesn’t need to see this game to convince me.
Was it? 7/20 today after shooting 8/23 in the semis. 1 assist and 1 TO.

If he cuts down on the questionable shots and focuses more on playing in the flow of the offense his efficiency numbers could go through the roof. He is a gifted shot creator.
The super big lineup with CH, QG and DD in the 2nd half put Hawkins on Storr, and he seemed to struggle with the length.

As a sophomore. Lots of room for growth.
Yes, if he becomes a better player, then I agree. Seems like a lot of wishcasting to me though. Personally, I see more Matthew Meyer than Terrence Shannon.

exactly. plus, ~9 months of 4 am workouts at Ubben and he'll be a monster
Sort of recruiting related, but we have to get a shot at keeping Dain for next year, right? Clearly earning playing time and it has to feel good to win a Big Ten Championship. The writing is on the wall that he could be our starting 5 next season if he is willing to keep playing defense. Amani and Morez are going to need some time, we really do need Dain.
you think???
