Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

well if its just ok, I'll be underwhelmed. expectation should be to be atop B10 and top 25 nationally year in and year out with a top 10 year every few years

Do you really think that’s not Brads expectation either? His is actually probably higher

Cliff is going to Bama. Wonder if that opens the path to Onyenso.

Just fyi in case some haven’t seen. I’m glad we’re getting Tomislav - more upside imo.

Do you guys think that $2m bag is a real or inflated number?

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Soooo...with Cliff going to Bama, how much of a possibility is it for us to get both Tomislav and Onyenso?

If you're a fan, and somehow don't know about or haven't seen Zero Hour, watching it makes Airplane an entirely different experience altogether.

Seen it! Watched them back to back one night and laughed out loud just as much at Zero Hour, recognizing where the Airplane lines germinated.

People need to relax….It’s going to be ok.

Where does that leave Ugonna

Hawkins, in his interview with Goodman, mentioned that BU was in Spain. Does this give credence to the Hugo Gonzales recruitment? Also, is there any interest in 18 yr old 6'5" cg Ben Saraf out of Israel?

1 million on the table, 1 million under it?

There has been no smoke about Gonzalez that I have seen.

Brad was in Serbia for Ivisic and then went to Spain for Demin (plays for Real Madrid).

He also went to Spain for a little Vacay with Susan I believe. Two birds one stone

What we are paying for him compared to what Cliff/other centers are getting is the robbery of the century

Are centers just being overvalued this year because of Clingan and Edey? I can’t imagine some teams will get their money’s worth from guys that aren’t capable of being as dominant as those 2 were.

Folks are going to have trouble getting past UM without a functional C.

Yeah centers #'s right now are just stupid. Cliff got 7 figures and he's a nice player but can't do anything offensively other than dunk

I literally just spit water out I was laughing so hard.

 

[Govoner Vaugn Fan]

Reminds me a bit of Paul George

I was thinking John Ringo.

Not entirely sure there is a benefit to under the table money anymore…?

I'd argue Tomislav might be more productive for us.

Driven by Edey and Clingan in the finals.
