Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Not trying to rain on your parade. However, IMHO, DD has done little to nothing regarding important technique adjustments to improve his FT shooting. Bonner was spot on with one....he has too many body parts moving in too many directions. A couple of other things need to be addressed, but I feel strongly he could do it fairly quickly if the right things were focused. Hard for me to fathom that they have not been.

I will say this:
Staff wants Maddox and Storr for sure. Will want Boswell if he enters, but will also look at a couple of other pgs. They want Raynaud as well, but also looking at a couple other guys as well

Just not sure what we can do from an NIL standpoint...would it even be possible to get all 3 of Storr/Boswell/Raynaud?

@Indy Illini Fan - from what I hear... we need a Denzel

Are you implying that Boswell has committed here without even entering the portal yet?

Is Kalk still in the mix?

Covering all bases. Very wise!

Is Kalk still in the mix?

No. He’s not leaving now that his coach stayed.

 

[Heisenbobble]

Is Kalk still in the mix?

Sorry, but this has been asked a TON on here already. No one is saying anything; I'd take that to mean he's not going anywhere and not worth discussing.

Redshirted

And now looking up at 2 other guards in his recruiting class who saw significant minutes this year.

On bigs, you dropped Wolf as one to watch before. Still a possibility or likely on the outside looking in on that one?

 

[Big Jack]

Ok thats a $100 fine for the use of my likeness... Kind of like NIL but for my pocket only

 

[ILLFAN67]

I don’t think we would have lost more games???? Our defense on the interior sucked all year with Hawkins in there. I don’t think there was that much of a drop off. Plus you could have played together. Good luck finding someone as offensively skilled as Dain

 

[Heisenbobble]

Does it feel inevitable that Storr will play for the Illini if he doesn't end up in the NBA draft? And if the staff really wants Maddox, is he close to a lock, as well?

 

[Goillinikobd]

just to make sure but is it safe to say we're definitely getting a big man, whoever it may be?

Well, we just lost one so I would guess we need a replacement

 

[sacraig]

Is it a 100% guarantee Boswell is going in the portal?

The only 100% guarantees are death and taxes.

 

[Manual3for4peat]

The only 100% guarantees are death and taxes.

And Brad beating Juwan.

 

[Heisenbobble]

The only 100% guarantees are death and taxes.

And the annual Skyy Clark transfer.

 

[Big Jack]

I don’t understand the Harris situation at all unless the coaches specifically told him he was not a large part of the future of the team. Why not transfer last year? Why redshirt? Did he just horribly miscalculate?

 

[sacraig]

Reload

I was more focused on the corny faux-tactical motorcycle helmet.

 

[TheGMan]

Did I miss where it was reported that Sencire entered the portal?

 

[FAR Penthouse]

?

And we’re gonna get one

Shouldn't be hard to find one who can shoot better than 47% from the line. A sub 50% center from the line is a liability who you can't afford to play at crunch time in close games.

 

[Goillinikobd]

We need a better fit than the guy who “helped us get to the Elite 8”?
Just pray he doesn’t Podz us while playing for some (other ) BIG team

 

[jamarvelous31]

So is Boswell/Storr/Raynaud like, the dream transfer scenario here? A PG, a scoring wing, and a big?

After 2 games against Edey and one against Clingan this year, I would love a 7-1, dunking, rim protecting machine. And Raynaud's got a competent 3 point shot and top-500 FT% to boot.

I thought he was the dream?
