Seems like every other day Kentucky is signing someone. What's their roster up to, 20?
They have fewer guys than we do. Zero returnees, one HS commit, five portal commits.

Figured I'd toss a personal favorite in here ... :cool:

Better late than never, the 5th year Covid guys have arrived.

I am sure Brad and coaches are doing their due diligence on all the portal entrants. Checking to see if there is interest in Illinois and evaluating whether there is match to Illinois needs. Hoping that Orlando can pull a rabbit out of his hat on some talent.

JMO- I would prefer to go short handed into season rather than signing projects that never are able to contribute.

Derek is saying that there is major doubt about the mystery wing entering the portal and honestly if it is the case it is annoying that they go all in on guys and it doesn't work out. We should be allowed be somewhat disappointed with the current state of the team and recruiting.

Just give PJ Hall whatever he wants to come here- he’s the best big available and instantly solves a lot of our weaknesses right now

There a bunch of good wings in the portal now, I’m confident we can get one or two of those- can’t find another Hall

He's gonna be on the NBA early entrant list ... It was a mistake not having him on there ...

But everything I have gathered ... Teams have him as a 2nd round guy ...

I am hearing he could also enter portal ... Get more money than going 2nd round ...

NBA made an error on Caleb Love, Sallis, and Walter Clayton ... All 3 are going through the process ... Love back to AZ if not NBA ... Portal likely for Sallis and Clayton but not 100% ...
Well this is awkward. I was going for a call back to Wake Forest's recruitment with Ayo. Apparently my joke did not land...

Why are we still looking at 4's when what we need is a 5 and another wing?
You realize we have 4 open schollies... so they should just stop looking at everyone else while also trying to get a 5? Common sense would say no you don't stop looking at other positions.
