I am still pumped that Ty Rodgers is back, lets not forget about that. I 100% believe he is going to start. Let's not forget that last year Underwood said this is the best shooting team he had and other players mentioned that as well but when it came down to it they weren't that great at the end of the season. Let's get some players that will play hard and not crack under pressure. Need to get back to getting players that play downhill well, Ty Rodgers and Kylan are both those types of players and i think Jamir Watkins can be as well. Still a lot of time left to snag some players.
Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
- Status
If we can challenge for the B10 and I think we shall when it's all said and done then we should have a shot. If that happens then $$ will follow.
Right? There are about 5 schools right now looking at their rosters and going, that's a team that can make the Final 4... and about 40 others desperately trying to get there.
Yeah there were guys like Dix that we clearly wanted and didn't get. Held on to at least Sarr is ours or NBA bound. Coach can recruit so not too worried yet, but I think we are scrambling to come up with something significant.
If last year's stats didn't do it then it just ain't happening.
As we know all too well.
A natty has always been my hope. Every year I think just one before I die. Now, I'm 83 and diagnosed with ALS. Seems like my dream has died. 
Catching up on 20 pages of posts after enjoying a day on the links and not sure what depressed me most, the news in this post or that I had to look up what sycophants means. A whisper campaign against Illinois basketball? An old-timer like me in a different era remembers something similar from Digger Phelps, Bobby Knight, LaPhonso Ellis and other old enemies.
Go Illini. I'll just head back to the 19th hole now.
wow, just checking some of the Sarr drama elsewhere- apparently he went back to spain and Barca locked him out of the facilities and his coach said he won't wear the Barca jersey again after going to the Nike Hoops Summit without their permission.

And now Kentucky is interested in Sarr as well . . .

Laporta Enrages: 'He Won't Wear Barça's Jersey Again.' and He Already Knows It
Dame Sarr disobeys Barça and travels to the U.S. without permission. Laporta is furious and everything indicates that the young player won't wear the blaugrana jersey again.

Kentucky in the mix for Dame Sarr
Sarr would be a major pickup for any college, but the NBA is also a threat.

And in 120 trillion years the last light from the last star will diminish... Then we have the endless void of darkness for a much longer time after that. Only then can we answer the questions.... Can entropy be reversed? And where do stand with sarr?

I think, in my opinion, the frustration comes from the likelihood that that is another fridge round of 32 team or worse
Sarr's price has apparently gotten over three million. Pushing his agent to stay in the draft as well. This was Brad's call to back off, for a couple of reasons.
1) The money they have they can land a stud plus two "good" level guards.
2) Brad wants the big time add to be older. He wants to have a very veteran team again. Even if it was someone like Ian Jackson, he at least has a year of college under his belt.

Not so sure about that as of now.......
Well now that I won’t get “old takes exposed”, kind of thought Sarr leaving Barca without permission was a pretty telling character move.wow, just checking some of the Sarr drama elsewhere- apparently he went back to spain and Barca locked him out of the facilities and his coach said he won't wear the Barca jersey again after going to the Nike Hoops Summit without their permission.

By no means am I saying you don’t take him because of this, but it sure doesn’t point to a guy of high character.
What the hell are you even talking about? I'm commenting on this lineup posted right here:
Boswell
Miller
Ben
Mirkovic
Tomi
You stoked by that? Go troll someone else.

Dude, now I have "Starless" by King Crimson stuck in my head.
Love the sound of that and I'm sure my P-town buddy Coach Watson will too!
THIS I can buy... car purchasing analogies be damned.

Where do we stand with stars?
If this is the reasoning, despite some of the meltdown here, I think its understandable.
