Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Illini From Michigan]

 

[Goillinikobd]

well said. I will root for him as long as he is not playing us.

I will root for him as long as his team doesn’t beat us.

 

[Elite 8 - 2024]

Bardo said tonight on his Youtube breakdown that Coleman is going to the NBA 100 %. He also said since we got Boswell, Boogie would not come to Illinois. Most likely going to Arkansas.

 

[fuggles]

Ok we need insiders to post more frequently because the board has lost its mind.

 

[PlayDeeBrownNote]

He was in my econ 101 class.

Who?

 

[hodgesonfire]

I wouldn’t worry about that. Purdue found a way with Edey.

Can’t you just send the NIL to his parents?

 

[DReq]

Who?

 

[logjam]

we're chock-a-block with Eeyores. a lot of the same folks who claimed this past season's squad was destined to be mediocre are doin' it again. it's April, people

Didn't have that phrase on my bingo card...lol...
Good onya...!

I believe Holcomb just retired as a Kinesiology Professor at Eastern Kentucky University.

 

[OB positive]

Most of your top players dont enter the portal until later, they're doing it just as they should

True but we could have already filled our roster out very well with the players that have been available.

Yep! I don’t understand why we haven’t secured commitments from every top level player we have talked to?

Forget the other guys that haven’t entered the portal yet that we have connections with. Forget that there are only 13 scholarships to fill. Forget that it is still April.

Interesting...He did seem intelligent. He came to my apartment once at Lando Place, and I just remember how unbelievably tall he was...I guess he was "only" 6' 11.

 

[New Creation]

Not sure if I saw this but NIL $$$$ is getting up there

Dont let very well get in the way of great

 

[BryceHopkins]

Who?

Former Illini football great Robert Holcombe

Lol...have you not seen the board lose it's mind after an Insider post??

Used to see him walking on the Quad. Literally head and shoulders above everyone else.

 

[logjam]

So if we get RJ Back & he finishes with Illinois does he count.
asking for a friend

I suppose if Holcomb gets his waiver granted, Domask is a shoo in!

 

[Illinifan74]

It was a great team. Derek Holcomb, Eddie Johnson, Mark Smith, Rob Judson, and Steve Lanter. Off the bench Neil Bresnahan and Levi Cobb. We were 16-0 after beating Magic/MSU Spartans on Thursday night and would have been #1 if we had not been upset by Ohio State on Saturday. Lou had brought Illini basketball back from the wilderness.

I 100% misread that the first go around.

I still have that issue.

 

[DeonThomas]

wasn’t Scanlon the Prof of that class ?
or am I all wrong ?

Wrong class. Richard Scanlon was the most popular Prof on campus for a couple of decades. Classical and Greek Mythology. I had one or two of his classes. (Required for School of Accountancy as I recall. /s). He used to dress up and predict the outcome of our fall football games. Immensely entertaining and full of energy.

In fact, the most popular faculty member on campus while he was there!

Dont let very well get in the way of great

There already have been great players that have transferred. Didn't want to sound too greedy. I hope it works out for us and the juice is worth the squeeze. I will be thrilled if we get these top transfers we have been waiting for.

pretty good article on Humrichous: https://www.noceilingsnba.com/p/ben-humrichous-size-shooting-and

That’s a good read- it’s weird that 247 still hasn’t ranked him even though he’s been in the portal a long time now

I was at the upset of Magic & Michigan St!
