Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

loyalty after dark, feel like theres more to the Booth story

Not really, he's just not very good at basketball (to clarify, at the high major level). Wish him the best though.

Uh, who’s gonna tell them…???

The missing UND part or the fact that csu is the rams, so done correctly. I’m trying to pick out your comment. Helps brother out

I was being snarky about what they picked up in Illini legend, Carey Booth.

 

[HensonHall71]

No, this is not a promise, but have a feeling tomorrow will be way more eventful.

I’m sure they wanted to give Kylan his day today and not step on his news- hopefully Sellers and Big Z and/or Dix tomorrow and then Tomi after that

Who’s better? Booth or Omar Payne?

I can’t help but wonder what Booth could be like if he had stayed through his senior season? Would he have been a fourth year wonder like Chris Gandy or Warren Carter? Or just another forgotten big man who never developed.

 

[Deacon05]

It's Jason Jakstys.

Dude, give the young man some respect. How hard is it to look up someone's name these days, really?

 

[phats22]

wow, thats very disturbing

LvilleILL1, we're talkin bout players, correct?

 

[Chuck Nuggets]

FYI, if you're just joining this thread, LvilleILL1 just guaranteed huge recruiting news Thursday.

 

[the national]

So his favorite picture of DGL is one with his head cut off...? Kaayyy...

He had hops. I was always amazed at how high he could get.

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

I'm hoping that you're also feeling that multiple pieces of significant good news is forthcoming.

I have a generic generator. Comes on automatically and has a fuel hookup to my propane tank it’s been running 8 hours now and will most likely run all night. Catastrophic damage near me and I’m unscathed. Power crews are still working down the road where the tornado passed. Dodged a bullet this time.

Omar Payne was much more serviceable when comparing their years on the Illini!

The NCAA does not want transfer news overshadowing March Madness. The one-week ban on visits starts now. If there's gonna be news, I'd expect it to happen by EOD Friday or the NCAA would prefer it waits until Tuesday.

He also had a fabulous block this season.

 

[hoopsfan47]

And you haven't a whiff of an idea how many guys here over 70, like me, dream of being 48 years old again. Those late forties were maybe the best years.

 

[SweetLou2020]

Going by history, most of our big gets have been in May or later.

Tomi committed May 6
KJ committed May 24
Will Riley committed June 23.
TSJ committed April 29.
TSJ came back to Illinois end of May.

I have no doubts it’s gonna be like that this year. I fully expect Tomi to not officially be back until he hears back from the NBA. His brother declared twice for the draft before returning both times which means Big Z can’t do it again. But I think Tomi would go thru same process.

I’m sure the staff is going to look for reclass players and internationals.

When did Orlando arrive, perhaps that is the more significant date!

 

[SweetLou2020]

As questioned above. Orlando brought Riley here, many said Tomi and Kasparas as well. Those three, wow, what would have last year been without him.

 

[Idea Gardener]

It would be awesome if there is a joint announcement from the Ivisic brothers.

 

[Rebounding Dog]

Jakstys : Because he was mentioned. Word is he has put 30lbs on. Must be working hard yes? Respect earned!
I don’t know much about the kid but does he factor in? 3-5 min a game?
What are his skill sets looking like.
Hell by fall he might come in at 6-10 and 250!

 

[Zorak]

I asked this all the time about Sencire Harris. Like, come on, Google is right there

Big two days ahead
