Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

The roster next year will win 20+ games once again, we will have a ton of talent once again. Never going to be a problem with BU

I know some still worry about recruiting, but I have not for most of BU’s tenure. Like you said he will always get talent. Especially now.

He scored 20 points in 2 games against us on 25% shooting. Doesn't scare me at all. Send him off to IU to join the rest of their team that can't shoot 3s.

lol I know. I still remember the game at CHA last season where he went off and couldn’t miss.

Didn't Perkins do the portal thing last year and left for W. Virginia but was released and came back to the squaks when Huggins was caught for DUI and fired? Or was that someone else?

i believe you're thinking of Joe Toussaint who ended up at Texas Tech after a year at WV.

poll auburn fans and probably 85% will tell you how he killed that team. Drove Pearl crazy

So a good guy then?

 

[Battle89]

What’s the latest with Dior Johnson? I know some sensed we’d be a player… Seems to have an awful lot of baggage though…

Super senior, very experienced, been a productive and winning player first at Cal State Fullerton then Toledo.

Played for his father Dante Maddox Sr. at Bloom Township, one of the best programs in the state.

I like what I'm looking at here.

Someone posted that returners Dainja, Hansberry and Morez looks like we'll be pretty well fixed for bigs next year. I can't agree. I love Dain, but he does have some limitations as well as strength. Morez may be very skilled, but hasn't ever played a college game. Hansberry has played so few minutes he's practically a freshman himself. And does any one of them have a perimeter game (on offense)? Furthermore, incoming frosh Jakstys (sp?) seems to have made it clear that he needs to redshirt a year to develop more strength and muscle mass. To me, it seems like we need to import at least one or two skilled bigs. In the backcourt we don't have even one proven scorer. I hate to use the word "rebuilding," but it sure looks like BU has his work cut out. Rodgers and Goode are going to be very important.

Goode will be an important piece of next year's team. He will not be a starter.

I can recall when Bloom was regularly in the top 5-10 in the state - but that was 1975-1980 or so .

looks like a taller version of Craig Tucker. and for the young uns, that's a very good thing

Indiana getting Perkins is so annoying. How do they always have the money for the top of the line portal guys? Ware and now Perkins?!??

 

[Big Jack]

A couple of guys who are still playing. All I will say for now

Like a certain 7ft center? Hmmmm

 

[Big Jack]

No,no,no,please for the sake of all that is good, no. Can't FrankenEdey just go be the best player in the NBA now?

He has already announced he is not coming back, he will get drafted. Someone like the Bulls or Golden State will take a chance.

Ryan Kalkbrenner feels like this year's Tyger Campbell.

Have not heard that name in a while. Let's go!

Opening up a spot for Moline's Brock Harding to be the next annoying Iowa guard.

The big fish is Storr I’m assuming

I dunno, Reggie Bass is in the portal.

We’re going to get Edey and Clingan and play a 3 out, 2 in.
