Wasn't there an FSU player (Jamir Watkins) that we were supposedly targeting who is in the NBA draft (for now)? If so, it doesn't appear that he expected to be picked. Does that mean we may get him?

I am sure it has been answered before but I have not followed all the moves that have been made. Are the players coming to Illinois via the transfer portal that much better than the players that decided to pack up and head out? (most going to programs that have not been as successful as the Illini)
Or is there an issue with the team? It feels like they don't have any loyalty to the coaching staff or belief that they will get playing time and develop if they stay in Champaign.

Looking back the Jase butler decommit makes no sense for him, he easily would have gotten playing time next season
At this point it looks that way. But can't make a fair determination until we see who we add.

About a week ago Plan A was Watkins and to go all in on him. Plan B was Lathon and Kasparas.

Seems like we're on plan B right now. What exactly drew us away from Watkins? Did Brad get wind he'll stay in the draft? Or was it the same thing of price being too high?

Remember the last Joliet West player the Illini had was Roger Powell

he played for Joliet Township because West and Central were combined.
Yep, that's correct man Joliet central had some really good teams back in the day, them and Lockport Central my alma matter used to use to do battle. Roger's dad, Glen Beatty, Ellis (Pokey) Fouls, Alvin Green to name a few...then Mike Jones, Clay Nellum, Rick Parchyz, Jeff Robinson and Alvin's little brother Terry.

You can't commit to 69, can you?
BU and staff have knocked themselves out with these three very impressive European (point guards I guess, even though they're tall.). Surely we won't strike out on all of them. I'm super anxious here, hoping like crazy we land at least one of them. But this waiting game...I guess I got spoiled when we got all those earrly commits. Not much patience left, and I'm too old for this s..t.
