Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[IllinoisssssssVarsity]

With the new threads everyday it’s kinda hard to keep up. Have we added any athletes to the radar that we have a legitimate shot with? These euros can be super skilled but athletically they are just not there. We can help them maximize their athleticism with Fletch, but do we have anyone who can lockdown 1 on 1 in space or create 1 on 1 when a team has those athletes and is switching everything and playing no help defense to cover shooters?

As good as kj was athletic defenders could still turn him over 5-6 times per game.

If anyone thinks I’m full of it on this, I talked to a former Bundesliga player the other day who called euro basketball “p****y basketball” because Euros don’t play with the natural physicality and athleticism Americans do. The adjustment is a lot. (The context was he was trying to get his son exchange year in American basketball to develop).

Any chance that KJ and Will Riley stay?

Same chance Rachel Weisz finally returns my call.

 

[SoILLini1]

0% chance of ever getting Ian Jackson. Move on.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Damnnnnnit. Pitino scares me more than just about any other coach in the country when it comes to getting recruits...

I think it's safe to say Jackson is St. John's-bound. On to the next! *sigh*

Picking a fight with James Bond is not wise.

[BashCtIllini]

Shame on all of you. I am the only person to like a Leave it to Beaver gif?!

I'm going to chalk this up to it still being before noon. But this is a pretty sad display. This board needs to do better.

Perhaps we'd have a shot with this Ian

I posted a article on yesterday hoops recruiting thread if I believe correctly it was on page 8.it talked about kj and riley NBA chances

 

[Illiniam1984]

We are moving on from Malik Moore…

In the interest of making an informed decision, Jackson may take more than one visit - like to Champaign

 

[Iamgroot]

What makes you say that?Just being negative or you got inside info?

I might be showing my age, but I absolutely loved Leave it to Beaver as a kid and still watch it today, whenever it's on.

 

[IlliniwekKDR]

Pitino knows how to bring them in.

Actually this GIF might be better for Paterno

Previous polling would confirm your concerns.

 

[Trueblue777]

If St. John’s is such a great destination for a shooting guard why did RJ Luis leave and enter the transfer portal?

 

[strobes77]

True. I have a number of obstacles in that one but have prepared a fantastic laser trap for when the time comes.

 

[illinoispeak]

0? . You must be fun at parties.

Might it have to do with Jackson's impending arrival? We all know a lot of these transfers are set up well ahead of time. Oh, and it doesn't sound like Illinois expects a visit from Jackson at this point.

 

[reckejo]

Yeah we’re starting to be in some trouble for any elite pickups

There are rumors that Luis was not liked at St Johns. Maybe somewhat of a headache. No idea if it's true but Indy said he would pass on Luis if I'm not mistaken.
