Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Illini90]

Soo I’ve been staring at my phone waiting for this “Boswell is in the portal” notification and haven’t seen it yet

I'm going to have to have a talk with my wife. Her last three favorite Illini were Curbelo, Harris, and Dainja.

Ever considered divorce?

Ah, yes... the marital portal.

 

[Battle89]

Ah, yes... the marital portal.

A current look at the transfer portal:

 

[Brosky]

No offense, but we'll need more shooters. The game has changed. Need a BUNCH of great three-point threats on the floor at the same time.

And isn't tthat exactly the reason we should be enthused about Davis? The video we have on him is just freshman stuff. And we should remember one of Al McGuire's favorite lines: the best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores. And isn't that a very good thought re: Hansberry, Moretti and DGL? They pllayed so little it's not much of a stretch to consider them with a freshman year yet to come.

 

[Brosky]

Is Storr a lock for us? He played very well against us in the Wisky game at Madison.

 

[band camp]

I had the same thought Brosky. Davis looks polished for a freshman.

After the RayJ Dennis saga I’m not considering anyone a lock until I see them in uniform

I don’t believe it’s on the cards for dainja to get drafted

Probably not, but I hope he has an excellent year next year and trends that way!

All the best to Dain who stayed engaged in a tough situation.

Unless he goes to MSU or something else in the B1G.

It's a even trade with Wisky for Storr...

Y’all got anymore of them skilled 7-footers?

Maybe it's the eyebrows, but if we get him, calling him Russian Coleman

 

[jumpingjack]

Gimme a frontcourt of Coleman, Amani, Morez, Goldin for starters, and just dunk everything.

 

[illini011]

Someone tell me why I should be excited about Jake Davis joining the Illini.

Yes, please.

Michigan.

I would think there is a strong possibility he is wanting to follow his coach.

Makes sense.

Yep, plus with Tarris in the portal, UM needs a big.

 

[DewLou]

The Bear has decided to dance elsewhere. Good luck Dain.

 

[Retro62]

Could be…but Michigan doesn’t seem like a team poised to make a run in the BTT, let alone the NCAA.

 

[cuillini]

I'm not worried at all. Watching DGL improve his defense this year is proof they can bring you up to standards.

Plus his coif is good for two stops per game.

He's kinda got a Robert Plant thing going with his hair.
