Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

But if we had landed Alexander we would likely still be on NCAA probation.

Or bought him a pizza! (Think football)

I guess I'm confused about the idea of signing Fland or any true PG now. How would he fit on the roster? Who starts? Obviously he would be. From what I've seen and heard we signed Petrovic to start alongside Kylan. So where does a 6'1 Fland fit in? I know he's a fun big name to talk about, but not sure how he comes without causing some roster issues. Even Claude creates some issues, but at 6'6 I could see a lineup that goes without a true starting PF and has another athletic wing playing alongside Andrej(who we are hopefully in a good position to get). That linup would work, but I think you struggle a lot if you start 3 guys 6'4 or smaller along with a wing + Tomi. I think fans have a problem sometimes falling in love with the idea of signing a big name or a big talent without considering the realities of it.

Put Flands recruitment in the back burner

Know cliffmas reference, but what is idkwti?

The Snider-Cliffmas double cupless shot to the plums was the worst.

Weber holding out for IDKWTI & Rose causing us to miss on Etwaun Moore set the narrative that he was a bad recruiter early and led him to care too much about recruiting stars late in his tenure.

Arguably set the program back a decade.

His dad is worth 45M, hard to imagine this is really about the $...right?

Yes, rich people famously stop trying to make money after about $30 million.

I keep hearing the comp and I can see some of it; however looking at the shooting numbers from 3 he isn't doesn't look like the elite long range bomber that I think is a large part of why Braden is so good.

I think Ant Wright had a clip where he talks about him shooting good percentages in contested catch and shoot and spot up situations(like 39-40%).

Might not be a great off the dribble shooter but that's not really an efficient shot that you want to be taking often.

But is his word stronger than oak?

This whole ordeal is giving me Cush-lash.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I'd bet dad is counseling it. He's been around the block.

I'll be back when he commits soon. Love you guys and I'll see ya on the other side. And no, he's not taking any other visits unless something crazy comes up.

This article explains it pretty well. https://www.insidethehall.com/2008/01/11/we-all-know-who-he-is/

You ever met a person before? That actually makes him more likely to hold out for money than the other way around

I love your input, but your posts that have "unless" in the last sentence.....I don't love.

His dad has 45 million… he’s broke.

Not for long.

I don't think you're hearing that. Pretty sure you're trying to get some chuckles watching the glass case of emotions of our fans breaking. Lol
