Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Sorry. If the kid got a 1.8M offer and is being told he'll be able to play on gbs perimeter, don't let the door hit you in the way out. We had absolutely no interior presence outside of Morez and now he wants to take that part of his game and extend it 18 feet. No thanks. I saw enough of that last year. I support Brad in pulling the plug. This team was soft as Charmin last year. That can't continue. Good luck to Morez. Hope he gets what he's being promised and hope he can actually succeed at it.
It amazes me how much of a leash KJ had when he made unforced errors. I do not think Morez should be shooting threes unless he is over a 30% shooter. However I am ok with a mid range shot if he followed his misses

It's Ked, so take it with a grain of salt. But also, it does loosely track with what @Indy Illini Fan has said.
I will say I sat directly across the aisle from his parents and crew on Sunday. They left the game very early. This was decided before we even took the floor.

Yes, and that was coming off quality games against Arkansas and Alabama. When returning to conference play after NW He went on a stretch in the B1G looking back to being good (Oregon, PSU, USC)
Until the emotion wears off after the season ends....don't trust any of them, coaches or players. They're all full of it.

Morez thinks he's Jokic, apparently.
The Kofi and Dain points are so hilarious...
We’re among the contenders …
THIS.
Morez best offensive skill was getting an offensive rebound put back. (which was important to the team due to how many bricks they laid from 3)
Otherwise he was lacking in offensive skills.
Late in the year, the offense flowed better without Morez on the floor and letting Tomi pass to cutters in the lane.
I respect this opinion but it was quite obvious against Northwestern in December that we win that game if Rez had gotten more of Ben’s minutes.
At the end of the day it's Brad and staffs job to navigate reality and put out a winning product.
I would personally struggle if my top 50 kid played behind Hum & the staff I committed to was largely gone. Piper airing laundry comes off as him trying to defend staff not doing their job.
Good god a 1970’s basketball analogy is pointless
But he can shoot 3 point shots... so the staff wants him (you know, like Ben H). Too bad if in the process we lose guys like Dain, Morez, and Ty... Fire away... Mind you, they can't play any d at all... But no worries
Your tune completely changed since yesterday. You had Morez back, you had us being older, loading up....and now you're throwing Brad under the bus?
We have had many disgruntled players stick it out, good thing NIL didn't exist for 89 and 2005 team.
I agree, but Ben had a quite good start to the season outside of that game. He then went in a cold stretch after, (Morez wasn’t exactly putting up world beater stats at this point either), and then looked really good starting in the west coast stretch up to the MSU game. After that, Morez got plenty of tick. Is Morez feeling that disrespected for not getting tick in the time between the NW and Oregon game that it warrants transferring?
Well, I have good reason to believe at least one player on that 2005 team got considerable “NIL” to choose Illinois.
Huh? Josh Dix is very good at. 51% from the field, 3 year shooter over 40% from 3, 2.8 assist to .08 turnovers, nearly 15 a game. 6'6" guard who can really score in 3 levels and KU and UK both are interested. He is good.
