Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

We have it if we want it.

You saying Brad has earned basically a blank check from the big $ folks?

That doesn't surprise me at all, if so. Let Daddy Brad cook, baby.

 

[B-ILL]

What would he look like after 6-8 months with our strength training guys?

We could at least get him to look as good as Luka.

Correct. Donors have upped the $ after this year as well

 

[Mobi]

People have been saying he is looking for the biggest bag, which makes sense. However, I hope this does not drag out and hurt our recruitment.

Latest target tracker list linked here. Updated to include Townsend listed this morning.

I've tried to highlight those who are our priority targets, but appreciate any feedback from those in the know.

 

[cruth13]

Any updates on Hawkins?

 

[mysterio2525]

I figured out who AJ storr is. He's the the one who promised us Alex legion was the next Jordan in practice.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

I'd love this get... he is good

Perfect for booty ball

Maybe the hotel room was a suite in Minneapolis, and our insiders have been messing with us this whole time and 5 new transfers who were also in the room all announce at once!!!!

I'd love to get that dude. He was an issue vs us this year. Hire his dad to do team photos! Lol

To those on the inside: why would Wolf be interested in Michigan and not us? Or are we not interested in Wolf?

 

[Ryllini]

I think Buona Beef is superior to Portillos. Also, any movement on the Storr front?

 

[Illiniam1984]

We are in Storr for some surprises.

That’s like asking why a guy is interested in a blonde instead of brunette’s.

I have a bad feeling that Storr isn't a team guy. Feels like another Skyy Clark, Jaylen Epps, Matthew Mayer type of guy from a character standpoint. He appears to be extremely talented but plays very selfishly. Am I wrong? Do you think he can be a team guy willing to make sacrifices to win? I sure hope I'm wrong on this one!

Oh he was terrific in their two tourney games. Cool story with his dad too, it would almost be a shame for him to leave Oakland.

They took NC State to the brink. That's now even more of a testament to how well they were playing at the end of the season.

So, I assume we have contacted him and its a real possibility? I think he could be great.

He would likely take a chunk from Tys minutes though since we need some shooters on the floor too. Competition is a good thing.

Any updates on Hawkins?

I read he’s going out for football.

 

[blackdog]

People asking for updates less than 24 hours after the last bit of info came out are like kids in the car asking "are we there yet". Ya'll need some therapy for that anxiety.

 

[JBfor3]

Vlad and Johnell are 2 of the best, proven players in the portal. If they both go to Mich with another contributor or two, that team will be good.

Are we expressing interest in either? Johnell in particular seems like a great fit (althought he probably is everywhere)

Pretty sure this board is therapy for most of us...

But are we the blonde or brunette
