Sounds like Brad may be able to pick up a 7' Serbian at a local pizza Hut in Serbia! Bogoljub would add a lot of name value of this team!
Most of those guys aren't bigs that can bang. I would love a European version of Meyers.

Some just want to complain about everything, that’s obvious.
For some, writing down their worries is cathartic (‘getting it off their chest’).
People may be airing their concerns on here as a way of actually looking for others to soothe the concern (“it’s not that bad” etc).
And others may just need to rant to people that care about the same thing (Illini sports) as much as they do. I know I for one have sometimes done that in our Game Threads. Not because I just want to complain, but because I don’t know anyone else who cares as much about the game as those on this board. My wife sitting next to me during the game certainly doesn’t

all played 4
Maybe we are going stretch 5 again with Booth, Johnson, Jaksys, and Rogers. Its only when you play Edey or Cingon that it really hurts and both will be NBA lottery picks.
I really hope Rogers is going to gym 430 am every morning with TSJ to shoot jump shots. I am sure Ty wants to play in NBA and the only way he has a chance is to develop a good jump shot.

I realize there's smoke around Jones from Memphis and the kid from Evansville is more than likely a done deal...
With Boynton officially at Michigan and it is looking like they definitely won't need another center or even another big after adding Goldin and the kid from Yale.
Why are we not more in the mix for Garrison and Small? Especially Garrison because he is a true sophomore 6'11" center. I remember both their names being mentioned as contacted/some mutual interest (thanks again to the user that makes the portal tracker) but I think both guys could really help the program both next year and Garrison for a few years to go alongside the other guys with multiple years of eligibility. I went to Oklahoma State, after growing up in Illinois my whole life, I watched both guys every game last year, they weren't the issue. They are both talented and seem like EDG. Insiders, is there any strong interest in either? More-so Garrison?
Am I missing something? Or is there just something bigger on the horizon?

lol. Yes every school would love a Lottery pick
That seems less than optimal... We getting outbid or outrecruited is the question? We should still have a very big bag, perhaps even the biggest on the market based on how little we've likely spent compared to the other big spenders. That said we still have multiple holes remaining so we do likely have more stricter limits based on how much we can spend on any single given player. It'll be interesting where this goes, but at this point, whatever recruiting battles we get into, we're probably going to have to win them and there's going to be a lot more narrow a margin now and probably a higher market price.
And Washington got KC Ibekwe.
We'll see if this slow playing strategy works out. I trust the staff knows what they are doing.

is getting “outrecruited” still a thing?
7’1” Moussa Cisse from Ole Miss is in portal.
Please pin this to the top of the thread!!!

For real, every day I'm like "please not Ty, please not Ty..."Anybody else load the home page of the site and have the titles momentarily load first before any content is below them? It is a real heart-stopper to see just this first!

They're related for sure, but if you are to get 2 similar NIL offers, recruiting likely still holds sway. The question is how much and how much is that sway worth to a given player. $1.15M likely wouldn't be too much different than $1.1M per se. If you're losing despite being the highest bidder, it's recruiting.

This year's transfer portal is the greatest collection of names ever assembled.
BIG_G2332: Thanks for asking about those two Oklahoma State players, both in the transfer portal. I've been banging that drum for a while. Asking questions. Getting no answers. I think that Brandon Garrison and Javon Small would be perfect additions to the Illinois roster. I'm assuming that neither player would come cheaply.
