Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

For me, it's about having the right sauce. For most of my life, I was a connoisseur of all things honey mustard. Now, I am a new man, a man born from the deepest-rooted lineage of Chick-fil-A sauce. Chick-fil-A sauce on everything except ice cream.

Juwan and Hunter beg to differ.

So you've tried it on ice cream?

Oh come on, there's gotta be one funny story. Someone puked at Kams, surely.

Even if that were so…That sounds like a good visit to me lol

That is part of a good visit, not a bad one.

But would that necessarily make it a bad visit?

Seeing some Richmond to St Johns smoke

I would like you all to know that on my "official visit" to a HS friend's older brother's fraternity "Around The World" party at UI, I of course got absolutely hammered on a variety of weird liquors I had never even heard of before and I held it all down.

The next day probably would have been better if I had puked, but still. Iron stomach.

And yeah, the Illini secured my commitment on that trip, no question.

 

[Joel Goodson]

lotta late portal entries (who would've thunk it). wonder if the schools that have already shot their NIL wads are having buyer's remorse?

there's value in keeping your powder dry (Daniel Boone?)

 

[BashCtIllini]

I knew a guy that played D1 football. He said he picked his school because they got him so drunk he puked on his visit. He figured, this must be a good place to spend 4 years

Sounds better than my visit where I sat with my grandfather and watched us lose to Purdue on a frigid cold November day in a game that turned out to be the Chief's last dance at a football game.

So the rumors out there are that this "mystery wing" should hit the portal any day now, and Illinois has the inside track on him. Are those rumors correct, @LvilleILL @Indy Illini Fan @DB11Headband @FI_8905 @illini0440? Hearing it from a few Illini message boards, so I wonder if there are legs to this one.

Do you have any idea who the mystery wing is?

Has anyone been keeping tabs on where Cam Christie is being projected in mock drafts? They all seem to have such a range, I have a hard time finding consensus on some guys.

Part of the consequence of how bad a draft it is is that beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

Guys getting mocked in the second round could easily go in the late lottery and vice versa.

I'm a homer fan, I know, but I really believe in Coleman's prospects in this draft. And then if TSJ's legal situation is resolved, anyone who passes on him with a pick in double digits is an idiot.

 

[IlliDan]

Whats the word on Cam Christie,staying in draft? Would we have high interest if he enters portal?

 

[CoalCity]

He hasn't even been on campus for 24 hours yet
