Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[ChiefGritty]

Respectfully disagree. Hill is fine, Maddox is multiple tiers a better player at the high major level IMO. Hill is high usage, always with the ball in his hands driving. Maddox can be used off the ball due to his elite shooting and also is a much better ball handler

Yeah, I don't think we disagree on Maddox at all, seems like I just see slightly more value in Hill than you do.

Wolf cares more about academics than he does about basketball ...

UNC, baby!!!

You’re correct, I didn’t notice that until now.

There it is.

 

[CoalCity]

did i read that they want to play together? both from Rockford. i get a little dizzy form the 1,300 posts.

Shouldn't be that hard to keep up with, 1275 of those 1300 posts are food related

Fluid mechanics is the best mechanics.

But does that make fluid recruiting the best recruiting?

Not up to the minute, but pretty good source IMO and can be sorted by most recent names. Any other trackers people like/prefer?
247 College Transfers

I know, I've been checking 247 and VerbalCommits, but no, I am not going to pay for a subscription to VerbalCommits just to be able to sort transfers by date. That's stupid... they basically made their website way less user friendly unless you give them $7.

That account doesn't look credible but oddly enough they've been nailing news left and right this offseason

 

[Muskie2368]

At this stage ... I don't think so ...

They want to slow things down a bit ... See who else enters the portal ...

In the end ... If I had to bet ... Think Hill and Storr would be my bet ... For the price of Hill ... It's a no brainer IMO ... Especially because you are getting a solid role guy at minimum and it all but locks in AJ ...

Maddox is who they are after ... Especially Brad ... But if we aren't willing to close this down soon ... I think he takes another offer ...

Why aren’t we willing to close it down if Brad wants him

Gotta wait for the dead period to be over

Gotta wait for the dead period to be over

A lot of the action for us will really pick up starting next Thursday. We will continue to recruit/talk to guys, but should have a few visits and close on guys when they come to campus starting next weekend

1) Get his academic in order and 2) wanted 3 years eligibility in case he decided to portal.

Justin Harmon locking down the 6th man role in the summer kind of finalized the decision.

Sincere would have surpassed Harmon mid way through the year IMO

It's almost like all the people wondering why next years team isn't fully locked in 4 days after our current season is over can't read

Is God available? Have we made initial contact?

Nah, we don’t want God. He disappears at the most important moments…

Man I want Boswell here more than any other portal addition (even if that's a a bit irrational lol) super young, hometown kid, 5 star pedigree and Fletch can turn his body type into a tank. We haven't had a similarly built PG since DWill.
