Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Sarr not raw. Kid oozes athleticism. Just needs to dial it down. Play within himself, not overdo it. Gain some strength.
Remember, he's going against legit NBA talent (Dybansta, Boozer) and elite incoming freshmen. He can produce early on against the lower level programs in Illinois schedule.

Yessoufou has had an amazing game but he choked there at the end with that off-balance hero ball shot, ugh

He ain't passing in this all star game

Dame Sarr and David both are going to help us out tremendously next season.

Sarr is much much more raw offensively than Will. I think if folks are expecting that type impact or more on that end are going to be very disappointed.

Love his energy and defensive ability

Way different players. Will much more skilled and crafty at getting buckets. Sarr way better run-jump athlete.

 

[HailtotheChief]

Well, I think Sarr plays in college because his price is likely going up and likely be more than he can get in the second round of the NBA. I just hope it's in Orange n Blue.

Someone posted BU is meeting with Sarrs group tomorrow. Let's sign him plz!

I suspect we are all traitors today

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Is Yessoufou draft eligible? He's got all the tools that be a star.

 

[Chillinini]

Refs are definitely not FIBA refs. Don't even know the rules. Just terrible.

They might be B1G officials.

They might be B1G officials.

I can see that. very believable.

 

[OB positive]

With every good thing Yesafou does he follows it up with something dumb.

Bith Mirkovic and Sarr look ready to contribute at the college level right away. Sarr definitely has NBA potential but don't think he's there yet. Give Mirkovic some time with Fletch and he's going to be an absolute load.

 

[LvilleILL1]

Meeting with Sarr and agent tomorrow. Staff has the money/role to sell and hopefully lock that up.

If you haven't heard, there is real Adam Miller to Illinois buzz right now. We will see what comes of it but I think there's a decent chance he's coming back. Would not be a guaranteed starter if he comes and they will bring in another 2 guard along with Miller.

Like that Mirk plays with some attitude and gets around well for someone who reportedly weighs 250. Didn't seem to wear down even with all the time he got.
