Creighton has big money alumni. I would be shocked if Buffet is coughing up any dough for Athletic programs though.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

If Hawkins could come back and play I would take that for sure. Ivisic bro's and him sounds good underneath. A headache for opposing D's IMO which doesn't count to B.U.
Was he offered by Creighton coming out of high school?
I think the term misled infers
Intent to deceive. I am not sure who feels misled but clearly based on the 40+ likes there are people who agree. I just don’t see it that way. I take the information for what it is and always know that it is hearsay and may not be 100% accurate and can change quickly. I mean sharing information and opinions are what most people are here for. I enjoy the sharing but never take it as gospel.

Tomi needs to get Kylan, Ty, KJ, and Will and get over to the ARC. Would be a fun moment to video

He's done.

yep, agreed. I submit that those feeling misled aren't doing this right
Question for those in the know about these things.
Which recruits have we landed for whom Zach Hamer was the primary recruiter?
Which recruits have we landed for whom Tyler Underwood was the primary recruiter?

Anyone here listen to SVPod? He said he talked to some very wealthy MD donors who both agreed to donate "two comma" amounts to the NIL fund in an effort to appease Willard and from what I gathered they didn't take it back when he left.
So I agree... at least until revenue sharing, there are wild swings in this stuff depending on rich guys' moods.
Another "must get" transfer, in my opinion, whose name was brought up in an earlier post, should be 6'4" 180pound Guard Xaivian Lee of Princeton. from Ontario. He averaged 16.9/6.1/5.5 this past season for the Tigers. Good rebound and assist numbers in addition to the 16.9 points per game. He shot 43.9% on FGs, including a solid 36.6% on 3-pointers and 78.9% on FTs. He would be a great fit at Guard playing alongside Kylan Boswell. Both can handle the ball, pass, rebound, and score. a better than 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. Looks to be great on step back jumpers, including both 2s and 3s. A lot to like about this young man. Kentucky is pursuing him hard. I hope that Illinois is too. I'd rather see $$$ going to Lee than what we were willing to spend on Dix.

Love me some Jake! Hoping he steps it up and gets 15-20 quality minutes each game.
I thought he was a little bit too timid last season. With permission from the coaching staff, he probably needs to look for his shot a little more and stop deferring so much.

I hope a year of experience means more confidence and that his shooting goes back to what it was his freshman year. Good to have his scrappiness off the bench as depth.
I can't be the only one that finds it sad, that in this era of college basketball it is apparently news that you're NOT transferring. This insinuates there is an assumption that everyone will transfer.
Glad to see Jake staying put. He had some good moments last year. Looking forward to seeing how he develops.

This is the approach I decided to go with this year as well, after last year's roller.coaster. (Save the gifs b/c I have no idea how to share them properly. Lol. )
It is fun to get caught up in, I'll admit. However, the yin-yang last year was exhausting. And my wife got fairly annoyed with amount of time i spent searching for Illini news.
Ultimately, I trust Brad & Co to field a good team next year.
