Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Any chance BU still goes after a bigger 5

Obviously

He looks so young for it being such a short time ago

So uh…. Where do we sit with Storr?

Just in time for the contact period, thank god we can finally communicate with Storr.

The Monster Meyer experience added 10 years of aging

The more I watch Maddox the more I love him. Dude is a walking bucket. @Indy Illini Fan please tell me we are going hard at him…

I love all the transfers but there was something about watching a kid like Trent Frazier or Coleman grow as a player and a man in our program and bleed orange and blue! Hope Ty, Luke snd Sencire are 4 year guys!

Agree. But I do like that we circle back on portal guys we previously recruited. It gives me the sense they'll be Illini eventually, and their first year or two (or more) were simply wayward years before they finally wised up and came home. Also that they're fully scouted with BU having a clear vision and fit for them, even if few others can see it.

anyone else just browse highlights from 2017?

Omg....baby face Trent and Ayo..

 

[Battle89]

I don’t know what season that’s from but man does Brad look young. That Epps and Clark season aged him about five years.

Edit: great minds agree above

I still remain a bit skeptical of Boswell, but am more then happy (and expect to be) proven wrong. I just don't see anything that really pops with him. Decent defender, shooter and ball handler, but I don't see elite athleticism, first step or explosion.

I will really watch the shooting if he gets here though, because if he shoots well he'll be a huge asset regardless and he'll only be a Sophmore so undoubtedly there is room to grow.

I agree about Boswell. Watched a bunch of Arizona and he never really jumped off the screen.

Can be a good shooter but is streaky. Is young so there is upside that he develops but I see him more as a complimentary player than one that is going to help carry a team.

He was only 18 this past season.

I legitimately have zero idea who the guy to the left of Trent is

 

[Illini2018]

RayJ on last years team and we beat anyone but UConn IMO ... Which we probably would have faced them in the natty because we would've been a 1 seed ...

I'm not sold that Uconn game plays out the same with a PG to steady the ship especially offensively.

I like Maddox a lot but don’t see it really at all with Boswell. If he wasn’t from Champaign I don’t think he’d even be a take. Mediocre defender, meh shooter, not a great ball handler, and obviously we’ve heard of some of the off court issues aswell. Hope to be proven wrong but I’m also a tad skeptical

Trust in Brad! That is all!

 

[mhuml32]

I've been hating on Boswell because of the shooting, which is still valid. That said, I forgot that Boswell moved up a class. Makes it a little more projectable for further shooting improvement.

UConn won two straight years of all games in the tourney by double digits. It’s been a long time since we were in a game that big. This is how you build a program. Trust in Brad!

If he's only a complimentary player, our team is going to have a problem. He'll be here to run the show at that PG spot.

Build and demeanor I could see some D Will in his game at the same age.

I’m not sold that UConn game plays out the same if it’s just started over … that was a fluke collapse. We likely lose by double digits a majority of times, but we don’t give up a 30-0 run. Get hot from three, stay in it until late and anything can happen. Hell, if we just replicate our meh first half performance we’re down 8 late with at least hope.

No more standing ...

Storr has requested Brad to sit down at the negotiating table per sources ...
