I don't know. I don't feel like the play is to attack the few people who have shown they have some inside knowledge of the program, but I guess that's just me.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

That’s because St John doesn’t have NIL money like bigger schools. Illinois has plenty of NIL, state of the Art brand new basketball facilities and in the Big Ten conference
I meant no disrespect to Marvin, either.
That is not the problem. The problem seems to be that he is also an !!!….. like his father and kids don’t want deal with it.
Xavier Booker for Sparty was the #13 high school player (RSCI) coming out of high school in 2023. He was a McDonalds player in 2023. Higher rated than Morez J. He has played sparingly for Michigan State the last two years. Around 11 minutes a game. So how does Izzo keep players like Booker while Brad sees them transfer out?
Whether Tyler is the next John Wooden or not doesnt matter. Hiring your kids causes drama. Theres a policy that clearly only applies to most but not big wigs like BU. . My only issue with Whitman is the University has a weak policy against hiring your own family and allowed it. Whether Tyler does great or not isnt the point. Hiring family very often causes drama. At this level it is a major conflict of interests regardless of job performance it can cause issues. Clearly it is whether justified or not. That policy someone listed is a joke. Either you can or can't hire your own son to a 6 figure job. Why have a policy at all if it only applies to some.

No. Ignore the morons. We need your inside information. That is the only reason i joined.This board is moronic. What’s being thrown around is nowhere near the truth. People running with twitter rumors and making up their own to justify their feelings. It’s crazy. Morez SIGNED a new NIL deal late February. 900k….his dad continued to negotiate behind Illinois back and got “offers” in the 2 mil range for Morez. Great. Go get your 2 mil. Don’t throw coaches and former players under the bus to try and make it look like that’s why you’re leaving. Sorry they didn’t let your son shoot 3’s and run the offense through I’m like they did Tomi when that’s not his game. Kylan and Tomi have always been priority 1a and 1b this offseason. They would’ve loved to have Tre back with him being the 6th ish guy off the bench. He didn’t like that whatever it is what it is. That being said Illini0440 out. Good luck everyone. Can’t take the dumba$$ posts on here from people who have no idea what’s actually going on and need to make something up to validate their feelings towards things.
When threads get out of control, Dan usually shuts them down at the start of a new month/week/day.
This one might need hourly cleanup.
Or maybe we just shut this topic down indefinitely. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

this one's a meh form me. if he's gonna be our starting guard next to Bos, would much rather prefer it to be Dix or Conwell. Would like to land one of those two (or other top tier guard still to enter).

Kind of like the nightly news…turn it off for a while you’ll feel better
What!?!? You don’t think Auburn has a SINGLE NBA player?
That is one heck of a hot take.
No, that guy needs fired yesterday

That’s disappointing someone would do that. I really appreciate the insight you’ve given over the years. I have a pretty strong difference opinion on what is happening now, but no one should have shown you anything but the utmost respect.
Amen and Go Illini!
A lot of soft people in this world and it’s starting to show… can’t imagine what use to happen when social media wasn’t a thing
Izzy’s best player is a freshman that is leaving this year. Izzo has had numerous one and dones.
Lol is it? Broome isn't an NBA big. Chad Baker Mazara is a 25 year old college senior. Neither Kelly or Jones are on draft boards but maybe they could develop in the g league(I like Jones a lot tbh).
Pettiford has had a great freshman year but he's a 5'11 guard(he is not his listed 6'1) so there is an extremely high bar for being an NBA player at that height.

Dain has stayed roughly the same. His scoring and rebounding has increased a bit, but he took a step down in competition to get there. He doesn’t have a future in the NBA, but he’ll have a nice career overseas, which is exactly what he would’ve had if he had stayed here.
Ahh so the dude is just not ready for high level basketball. Citing his per 40 numbers for a freshman big who couldn’t stay on the floor does nothing for me. Morez is good and I have never disputed that but getting mad because a shooter played over him at the 4 position is incredibly dumb and short sided. A non shooter who fouls frequently is not the best fit as a starting 4 on a winning basketball team with a legit center. You might have ball knowledge, but you never show it on this site

If big donors close their wallets then they lose access to the program. And make no mistake, that’s what it’s all about for them. They stop shelling out the money and their egos suffer.
How many DI basketball programs are there 362 or so? How many transfers are there in the portal already or will there be? We are not alone by a long shot and there are players available. ILL!
