Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[OrangeKrush1981]

I am having a hard time deciphering the pathetic Univ of South Carolina website, but it does appear that the roster there, the women's roster I mean, was not built entirely -- 100% -- over the past 12 months.

Lot of disinformation out there, I guess.

Thanks for disemboweling this inaccurate assertion ...

Don't blame me; I voted for Edey.

I get that reference.

 

[WyattEarp]

Now I'm wondering if I'm ugly, stupid, unathletic, or awkward?

*Looks in mirror* Actually, I think God still owes me a few points.

Sounds like someone needs a daily affirmation with Stuart Smalley:

 

[IMK]

So you're saying the first AND second ranked offense had the SAME issue?

Well Castle is a far more explosive player than Rodgers. There's a reason he'll be a top 10 pick this season as a freshman while Rodgers, who I love, is gonna be a 4 year college player. So no, not really the same issue cuz Castle's downhill game might be on pace with TSJ's even if his perimeter shooting is a problem.

Will Cal leaving UK lead to more guys into the portal potentially?

This thread just got a lot more interesting. Targets are going to change a lot in the coming weeks.

And how does this hurt Illinois? (Sorry, I'm way scarred.)

Assuming Brad stays, AJ Storr is locked up 100% if he comes back to college now

 

[Kendall Gill’s Uncle]

@LvilleILL Assuming? He’s going to UK now?

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Assuming Brad stays, AJ Storr is locked up 100% if he comes back to college now

How big of an assumption is it that he stays?

 

[Heisenbobble]

How big of an assumption is it that he stays?

No one here knows that.

 

[DB11Headband]

No university who is even remotely connected to the aftermath of this decision by Calipari can, as of this exact moment, confidently say who they’ll be recruiting in the coming weeks or what their team will ultimately look like in the fall.

We are one of those universities.

I would be shocked if Kentucky hires Brad Underwood

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

I'd be shocked if Brad Underwood went to Kentucky. Makes no sense from a career point of view.

 

[redwingillini11]

I really hope the carousel doesn’t screw up the timeline of locking in our transfer class.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I don't know if we should feel good about this or not do good? Recruiting momentum ceasing doesn't sound good.

 

[LvilleILL]

It won't. Business as usual

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

That is not what NBA guys say, apparently. I was very surprised. I would LOVE to have a guy like Castle at Illinois.

 

[Newmark4thFloor]

Brad Underwood Kentucky ?!

 

[LvilleILL]

Brad Underwood Kentucky ?!

nope

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Brad Underwood Kentucky ?!

No. Don't think that anyone sees that happening. It's the residual that would get interesting.

 

[jumpingjack]

Agreed - Kentucky basketball sneezes and the rest of college basketball catches a cold.
This will be an interesting week on a level we as college basketball fans haven't seen yet, IMO.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

I would have said that too a couple of seasons ago. But the landscape is changing so fast. Kentucky does not feel at all special to me at this point (ha ha, and they strangely aren't recruiting me!)
