Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

If we can get Sarr, Miller, and a starting caliber 2 with some handles, where our 6th, 7th, and 8th guys are Ty, Miller, and Z, we’ve got a top 15 team.

How is that different than KJ, Riley, Tomi, and Bos leading us last year? We weren't a top 25 let alone top 15 squad then.

WIth what we already have in the deck, we need 2 guys of Riley or maybe Sarr's talent.

Is there a role for Jakstys? He was billed as a skilled player who could shoot, but who needed a year to increase his strength and bulk. Recent photos show he has bulked up, don’t know if that means he is stronger.

Probably nothing significant for the coming year. His primary role will be a practice guy and emergency big, which isn't a knock on him because you need guys like this. I would guess he is a year or two from seeing playing time.

Maybe when we’re up by 50 on EIU

My expectation is we get neither. Be ready to pivot and move on to plan b. I hope Brad proves me wrong but we very seldom win any sort of bidding war. Expect more of the same until they show me different.

Brad isn't sourcing/funding our NIL. If we lose a bidding war, it's not as if its because he didn't take enough money out of his paycheck lol
