Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Well nobody including you saw it. A lot of people can claim to have known Podz was that good after the fact. Arguably Moretti had more impact this year than Podz did his freshman year.

And who’s fault was that?????

And who’s fault was that?????

Well maybe Podz for not showing what he could really bring to the floor his freshman year. The point is trying to lay blame on how that all worked out is pointless.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Is it Boswell day or is that tomorrow?

If it's neither, I forgot who it was, but they have to publicly eat their hat.

 

[CoalCity]

Obviously not a done deal.....

But you make the Cohen + Claude vs. Frazier + Hansberry trade 100 times/100.

Let. Brad. Cook.

You RUN to make that deal and then get outa Dodge with your plunder as fast as you can

Absolutely I didn't see it. Really, the only people who should have seen it are those who saw him in practice. I suppose you can argue the Santa Clara coach was some wizard that turned him into a first round pick and likely a guy making one of the first two all rookie teams.

My point is that if you're Podz, and you have guys being offered guaranteed minutes then you aren't on a level playing field for playing time. So you bail.

We're not privy to any of these discussions, so it's merely speculation. But if Booth is being given some guarantee, it becomes easy to see why Hansberry wants to bolt.

Like the numbers being floated for NIL, none of us knows what's going on. But there are plenty of possible scenarios that give me pause in laying out reasons when the transfers happen.

Hard to predict which transfer will make most impact

I wouldn’t have thought Cam could do what he did at UCONN. He was good but he took it another level

That's just not how it works, Trent deserved to be up there too but didn't due to the rules. Shannon unfortunately doesn't meet the rules either:

Players selected to have their jerseys hung must have achieved any of the following criteria:
1) National Player of the Year
2) Enshrined in the National Basketball Hall of Fame
3) Big Ten Player of the Year
4) Consensus First- or Second-Team All-American
5) Illinois All-Century Team Member
6) Individual whose pioneering efforts made a significant impact on Illinois and international basketball

Dont wait 100 years to name the All Century team, break it down every 25 years or so. BOOM, Trent and TJ both go in the rafters

Claude is a good player and definitely a take, but the 3 point shooting concerns me a little

He was playing through a little elbow issue this year … Had a procedure done on it after the season …

He’s a better shooter than his % showed …

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

I also got the alert from Werner.

Get him Fletched immediately and we're cooking with gas.

So we are putting up Trent who didn’t do nearly as much or win as much as Frankie?

The criteria is the criteria. I hope they keep it as such.

 

[Illini8420]

Boswell should have been a true freshman by age this past year, so hopefully that means even more upside.

 

[OskieWowWow]

Cool to have a central IL native back on the team. DMFW was the last

 

[CoalCity]

As long as we don’t pick up the “new money” arrogance of UConn fans.

I'll take 6 nattys in the next 25 years and be DAMN arrogant about it. If I live to be 93.
