To give us all time to discuss how sandwiches, redheads, God and other things all tie into important recruiting.

I'd think official recruiting visits include at some point our illustrious history, all the way back to Johnny "Red" Kerr.
Many visits close at the Pancake House, which may have included a breakfast sandwich.
All the above followed by a lot of prayer by the staff that the recruit picks Illinois.

Hill seems like a great player and is actually ranked higher than Maddox in the transfer rankings list that Ive seen. I would think this would make it more attractive rather than less attractive.

I think they're both good players but I think a lot of people would be very exciting by Maddox's ability to shoot.

Hill is a bit bigger guard, not super explosive but pretty smooth. Hasn't been much of a 3 pt shooter(29% and similar at juco) but his shot doesn't look broken to me and he shot a solid 74% on a bunch of attempts.

Maddox is smaller but a bit more explosive, brings more pg type skills, and is a lights out shooter. He shot 45% as a junior and 40% last year on high volume. Also, shot 86% from the line last year(career 81%). He legitimately one of the better 3pt shooters in the country.

I think people are exciting the shooting and Maddox seems like a safer bet to translate to the Big-10. I think Hill will be good but there probably a valid question to ask if he will be able to get to the basket and score inside as much on bigger longer defenders.
