Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[LouHenson]

I am loving all the pub. If we can get to be know ln as “the” school for these high level foreign players? Clearly they can play with all the American kids that go to blue bloods for the most part.

Mirkovic Is great. Very impressed and excited we snagged him

Yes if Sarr is headed to Illinois it's like getting two more All Americans.

I think Sarr would fit perfect with the Twin Towers 3pt shooting and passing and Mirkvic setting screens. Add a combo shooter n defender at the 2. Id take Ace Wolf back! Lol

This games defense tonight us tougher than I thought and lanes are a not there as much in the half court. I'm fired up if we can add Sarr. Love the roster construction if that happens we are off to a great start! ILL!

I want to see the Ivisic twins hit Sarr on cuts to the basket as often as possible this year

Sarr would lead the B1G in tea bags

 

[ptgrd23]

Mirci has good handles

 

[illiniswish09]

Yeah Sarr is a pro

 

[aveseaboy]

We need Sarr whatever needs to be done get done

 

[Illini4Christ]

Cincinnati got a good one in Shon Abeyev.

We saw this with Tomi and Will. Sarr doesn't have the height, but he's got a much quicker step. It will be deadly.

Boozer hair adds 3” of height

 

[LouHenson]

You’re right, they would be like top 20-40 recruits at worst. I get this idea more and more.

 

[CleverHandle1]

Yeah Sarr is a pro

I think he ends up in Champaign for a year. He'll go pro but "not yet, not yet."

Yup. Both Ivisic twins are excellent passers. Perfect for an athletic slashing wing the Sarr.

That kid Baylor got is a stud. Like a big Oladipo

Sarr is only an inch or so shorter than Will. (And Sarr's wingspan is probably quite a bit more, actually - I don't know Will's standing reach but my guess is Sarr's is higher.)

Can this Ament kid commit to Duke at halftime! Before they want Sarr instead.

 

[ptgrd23]

you can see difference between world kids who play in Europe vs those who go to HS in USA. Fundamentals are better.

Will does not have a positive wingspan. Polar opposite with Sarr - very long and athletic.

 

[illinifan1987]

Good for you, DGL. I'm still shocked that he stayed more than 1 year...due to his history.

 

[ptgrd23]

So far Sarr does not look NBA ready. Hope 2nd half is same.

Checking in with more effusive Noah Eagle love

Kid is a star. Will grace our ears for the next 40 years.

Recruit Ariza. Just do it
