Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[WyattEarp]

I seriously doubt Humichous starts over Booth or gets starter minutes. Humichous is not at same level as Domask was, IMO. He is more Goode than Domask.

Ben seems like a post dude that steps out; whereas Marcus is more like a 3rd guard type that backs down….if that makes any sense? I feel like Humrichous is more of a pick and pop guy than Domask …but you can tell there’s some overlap in the two. Looks to me like Humrichous has got both a face up and back to the basket bag of tricks. I love Luke but he is little more than a catch & shoot, set shooter kinda guy.

I’ll bet you Humrichous ends up being our leading scorer quite a bit. * Receipt*

 

[Joel Goodson]

Anyone else concerned by that 3 spot?

nope

No. Demin would be the 3

People underestimating Humrichous on here… and nationally. Calling All Big-Ten right now…

Just sat down to read todays recruiting thread from today.
Wishing I had simply scrolled to the last post and read this one from LvilleILL.
Everything else was a waste of time.

Grad transfer Ben Humrichous didn’t come here to be the 6th man….

 

[illini0440]

That’s the plan if we land Demin, yep. Plus Jake Davis as another wing off the bench.

Davis will play more than people think. Kid can flat out shoot it from anywhere and doesn’t need to be set like Goode.

You could be correct. If so, we will all be very pleased with Booth based on the film of both. Not an expert at evaluating top level talent by any means, just MHO.

think Brad could line change, and not just when he's pissed

Not saying the talent we’ve accrued this offseason isn’t deeper, but people say things like this every year and at the end of the day we slide back into a pretty solidified top 8 at most.

How many 6’9” guys have you seen that can do what Ben can at that level? Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets drafted.

It’ll be matchup based. We can matchup with anyone or could force anyone to matchup to us. Small, Big, speed, D, 3 point.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

I said 60% chance he came to Illinois last week...I am at about at 85% now. Just a couple of things to finish

As Fl says here, there are contingency plans in place just in case

Thanks for the update!

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Boswell
DGL
Demin
Hum

This post on the other hand, very valuable

If we land Demin...that team is going to be SO interesting to watch gel. It would be rediculously skilled offensively and you could put out mammoth sized lineups.

Almost the whole roster is 6'6 and above...and skilled. I dont know what the defense will look like...but man, were going to tower over some teams.

 

[Deep]

I think the key with all these parts will be Boswell. He will get a chance to run the show and control the flow and tempo.
I truly think another key is TY .......he will be a nightmare for smaller guards.

This is pretty agreeable.

 

[SkyysNotFalling]

Having guys with size who can do pretty much anything with the ball and shoot is going to be nice…. This team should have top 4 seed and top 4 of the B1G aspirations. Lots of future pros on this roster… can’t wait.

 

[New Creation]

Just thinking of lineups with and with Igor for fun

With Igor,

Boswell DGL
White Davis
Igor TY
Humrichous Booth
Ivišić Johnson

With-out Igor

Boswell DGL
White Davis
Humrichous TY
Booth Johnson
Ivišić

These are still 9-10 man rotations right now... Have to believe Brad when he says its set unless they get someone like an Igor finalized.

I really liked Goodie but he is not in Hummer's zone. Whole different type of player with that quick release. He can open up so much on the floor. This team will be stacked, locked and loaded.

 

[GrayGhost77]

That’s the plan if we land Demin, yep. Plus Jake Davis as another wing off the bench.

Whoops. Somehow forgot about Jake. He'll play plenty as maybe our best 3pt shooter.

 

[Birdus]

Davis will play more than people think. Kid can flat out shoot it from anywhere and doesn’t need to be set like Goode.

Yeh. A lot of people kind have forgotten him. He's a different breed. One of those guys that can pull the trigger and score about 9 points in a minute and 1/2. The Kid is going to factor in this year and make a difference. I think you are right. He is a better version of Goodie and I love Goodie. Just not in Candy Stripes.

 

[Qdog2859]

I'm not sure why people think Rodgers will start? Tre White is not a great shooter, but Rodgers is a non existent shooter. He doesn't even take the shot. A guy that will at least make you guard him on the perimeter that can still get to the hoop and rebound is clearly the superior player. Also White is a much better FT shooter.

Tre White is a bucket getter who will put pressure on the defense to account for his presence while he is on the court . Ty you just have to make sure that you box him out to keep him off the glass
