Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Years ago I would be asked by my VP of sales what I thought the odds were on closing certain business. I always said 50-50. He just accepted it. But, my direct manager, who knew my sense of humor, would just shake his head and smirk.

Conwell would be a nice back-up plan to Maddox.
He might be a grad transfer. Just finished at Curb U.
Ok but yesterday someone ( 0440 I think) said if Booth comes he would be playing the 4 So who would you says starts at the 5?
NIL is even better at Louisville, too. Doesn't seem to make sense to go to Illinois for him
what makes miller an effective recruiter? How is he different than Underwood in his recruiting and coaching style? Curiosity killed the cat...
No chance Galloway comes off the bench.
Who’s he starting over in that lineup? I get he’s a culture guy and a vet for them, but he’s a fairly mediocre player overall.
Yup ... I was told IU was one to watch (shoutout @soupy17 for adding that note) and if they could match the UNC offer that's where he would wind up ...
I got a text from IU staffer maybe 20 minutes ago that said what I needed to hear ...
Looks like Ballo to IU ... Carlyle ... And Rice as well ...
They're going to have the talent ... They need shooting ... Which has always been the story with Woodson teams ...
He's not gonna be starting ...
I'm not really asking for post scoring to clog up the lane. I'm just looking for a defensive big that can play a reserve role and match up with opposing bigs. We didn't just struggle against Edey we struggled against almost every decent big such as:
Osa Ighodoro - 14 pts 5 rebs (5/9 FG)
Jonas Aidoo - 14 pts 7 rebs (6/12 FG)
Julien Reese - 20 pts 11 rebs (8/16 FG)
Tarris Reed Jr - 21 pts 5 rebs (6/11 FG)
Clif OMORUYI - 22 pts 9 rebs (10/19 FG)
Mathew Nickelson - 12 pts 8 rebs (6/7 FG)
Malik Reneau - 21 pts 7 rebs (8/12 FG)
Reink Mast - 22 pts 6 rebs (8/21 FG)
Qudus Wahab - 13 pts 5 rebs (6/10 FG)
Julien Reese - 18 pts 11 rebs (6/8 FG)
Osa Ighodoro - 14 pts 5 rebs (5/9 FG)
Jonas Aidoo - 14 pts 7 rebs (6/12 FG)
Julien Reese - 20 pts 11 rebs (8/16 FG)
Tarris Reed Jr - 21 pts 5 rebs (6/11 FG)
Clif OMORUYI - 22 pts 9 rebs (10/19 FG)
Mathew Nickelson - 12 pts 8 rebs (6/7 FG)
Malik Reneau - 21 pts 7 rebs (8/12 FG)
Reink Mast - 22 pts 6 rebs (8/21 FG)
Qudus Wahab - 13 pts 5 rebs (6/10 FG)
Julien Reese - 18 pts 11 rebs (6/8 FG)
dun dun dun the plot thickens. (Wait is this including counting Tre White as the pf or no?)
Is this still the case? Rumors are we're pursuing other options and moving away from it. Sounds like it was a bidding war
Maybe our PG from this past season.
Any names to watch as far as centers, assuming Booth ends up being the 4? Is it Jared Coleman-Jones?
Raynaud’s back to Stanford, I haven’t heard much buzz for us with Danny Wolf or Brandon Garrison. Avila’s probably going to SLU. Corhen’s a 4, Ballo’s heading to IU, been radio silence on Kalkbrenner.
no

Yep, Storr is LeBron-ing us. We're waiting for his decision and when he doesn't pick us, everyone else we wanted will be gone.
So I agree playing 5-out is the way. It's modern ball and a huge reason why we were so succesful on offense this year. But to be fair we got punked by a lot of bigs aside from Edey & Clingan... Julian Reece, Oso Ighodaro, Vlad Goldin, Tarris Reed, Malik Reneau, Qudus Wahab, Pharrel Payne, Tyler Wahl all won in the paint against us. I get those guys are good, but it became crystal clear we struggled against pretty much any big who had an offensive game. I really think the staff believed Coleman could hold his own against those guys but oh well. Having a true big who can defend the interior is valuable
