Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Why not foul out? I don't get the advantage of unexpended fouls.
Isn’t the issue that there is no minor leagues like baseball..
Or given that we're hearing that Brad wants to throw even more money at Ben freaking Humrichous, a new head coach.
I believe it. BU seems to have turned offense and defense to two grad assistant types. Emulating the 4 out, shoot a ton of 3 offense making the NBA unwatchable. They gave a long leash to some players abd others were pulled for mistakes or missed shots.
I don't think you are correct about this, although maybe I am the one who is wrong.
But here goes with PART of my argument: Morez is a an asset. He had future value. Ben had little value this year or in future.
We recruit a different type of player. There is NO ONE on Purdues roster that I want on our roster. Frankly, they can keep their guys because that is the best offer they can get. 4 star guys have more options then 3 star guys. John Groce's players would not have joined the portal, either.
Just like Humrichous would love to come back...
Do you think Kofi or Edey who were all Americans strictly from their work in the paint are a bad model to follow for development? Yes , Morez isn’t the same as either of those guys, but for him to say “he doesn’t want to end up like Kofi” rubs me the wrong way when in reality, he likely won’t end up even 50% of the player Kofi was.
Players can 100% grow their game. However, if you were Brad and Boswell came to your office asking to become a strictly catch and shoot player and take 7 3pa a game because the nba scouts want to see his % go up on high volume, are you going oblige just because you want to keep him?

Talk about revisionist history….try your math again.
Not even close to averaging 25 mpg
Some pretty good coaches who seem to produce (in most years) year after year. Most of the programs remaining have coaches and programs that I believe most of the top athletes would rather play for than BU.
I like Morez but to me he was a smaller version of Cliff Omoruyi which is still pretty good.
If any non shooting big comes to Illinois and proceeds to say they don’t want to end up like Kofi, they don’t belong on Illinois in the first place.
It’s funny you complain about the 3s because Morez is leaving because he wants to shoot the ball as well

Underwood needs to bring it next year. Year 9. I hope he does.

How many fouls/minute did Rez accumulate. I recall a lot of games where he spent many minutes on the bench due to foul trouble.
I get what you're saying but if people are gonna pine for the good ole days of freshmen sticking with the process that includes the expectation of spending the first year developing more than playing.
We won a championship 12 months ago lol.
College football is a different animal. 105 players. Only have to coddle one - the QB. And have multiple backups at every position, including QB. College football is fine. Playoffs make it even better. And we have Coach T-Bar. All is well.
23.375 mpg after MSU in January. Would say that’s quite close to 25. The only reason it wasn’t higher is his own foul trouble. 4 fouls in 3 of those games
Well, Will Riley averaged 26 mpg - 1 minute less than Tomi, good for 5th most on the team.
But don't let facts get in the way of a good, angry, ranting claim.
Have you guys read what Kedrick is putting out there. If I wasn’t an idiot with tech I could put it on here . Lots of quotes from dad. Did not like how Tyler was running the offense among other things. Was not happy with playing time at the end of the year
If he's offered 1.8M(reportedly) and wants to play more on the perimeter......see ya. He was the ONLY player that thrived in the paint for us. We need him to be that guy and not the guy who wants to face up for 18-20 feet. That was our issue last year. What Morez wants and what we need are two different things and that's ok. Morez, hope you aren't being lied to and Brad.....go get a big that wants to play defense, be nasty and block shots.
We need more drama.
Someone should tell Morez Paul Silas made a career playing defense, grabbing rebounds, especially offensive rebonds, and shooting nothing but close in shots and put backs.
