Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[sacraig]

I had a shroom and swiss burger at Murphy's last weekend, didn't live up to expectations. Still a good spot though.

Wrong type of shrooms?

Best shrooms are in Paducah, I'm told.

McConauBOOM?

 

[AZILL]

A McConnaughey boom for me means a TRUE IMAX (70mm, IYKYK) release in December of Interstellar at my local IMAX theater (Tempe Mills Harkins)...... just saying. Sorry to deviate, lol. I've been waiting to buy tickets for this movie as long as I've been waiting for MSG Illini/Duke tickets to go on sale.... Both have been an excruciating wait, hahaha. I hope I can swing both of them!

Well, the vibe dropped dramatically in my opinion when they expanded.

In the 80s the burgers were great. I wonder now if it's about others catching up.

They closed the expansion up a few years ago. I wasn't in school that long ago but the food was never good imo outside of the Irish nachos.

2 dollars pints though was a great deal.

These high school commits look very promising. Who will be next up?

 

[Bucktown]

I feel like they’ve expanded more than once. Am I making that up?

Anyway generally agree but the lost vibe is offset by more seating available for this old man.

And, at least, it is still open.

No reply or even a like from Pru and i think that he is doing some sampling to make sure that is still the case.

Searching 247, I'd guess Lincoln Williams, 2026 SG.

Dumb question.

Is the HS recruiting strategy to grab cheap but promising 100-150 players for development & go big game hunting 3-4 times with top 30 classups, euros and transfers?

yes. There's no point in taking any high school kid that isn't a top 30 guy or a project. All the ones in between transfer. So you take no brainers and projects from high school, and fill out most of your roster through the transfer portal.

I hate it, but it's what college basketball is if you're smart.

Agree with both... and I think our group of recruiters identify earlier than most, are a player across the globe, and are flexible with a reclass if closing...it's nice place to be...
