Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Not a very high possibility at all

I prefer this post.

 

[LvilleILL]

More visits still a possibility for Andrej.

Very unlikely. Said the opposite in an interview yesterday.

 

[WeWillWhen]

Slower than expected news on two fronts, btw: Andrej hasn’t committed and Mirkovic hasn’t signed. Perfectly understandable that fans are nervous.

Brad still following Andrej on Instagram. Brad not following Mirkovic on Instagram.

All I wanted was a Pepsi and you wouldn’t give it to me! Just one Pepsi!

 

[Rebounding Dog]

I think if we miss on Andrej (Don't think we will) Jovic plus one more could be the plan.

As long as it's a "vic"!

 

[LvilleILL]

I’m expecting a public decision pretty soon here.

For the sake of the sanity of this board, I hope Andrej commits today. Some of you will need to be institutionalized if this goes into the weekend.

I trust that you're always sharing what you know at the moment. Most of the time that turns out to be the correct answer, but kids and adults change their minds.

However this shakes out, will you eventually share the story that you referenced a few days ago about why it was taking so long?

All I’m gonna say is that Insiders should maybe learn that college-age kids aren’t super good at communicating deadlines and calibrate appropriately when interpreting what they’re told. Ok k

Maybe instead the rest of the board should stop pinning their happiness on the decisions made by a group of 17-22 year olds.

 

[LvilleILL]

Yes. I don’t think much has changed, minus some minor things behind the scenes. Like I said, I’m still very confident.

SMH at some of y’all fools…whining about free, privileged information bc it isn’t always 100% accurate…

We appreciate you, big dogs! Don’t let the fussy pantses bring you down!

On the contrary, the information presented seems to be 100 % accurate...at the time it is passed to us. But, as CaptainCrutch pointed out, the veracity and conviction of 20 year old kids waivers quite quickly since there or few, or even zero, consequences for them to change their minds by the second....and therefore rendering the true information acquired and passed on virtually useless.

Hoping.....

I want white smoke. Or Gunsmoke. Or Whitesnake. Or something.

That's right, get old stay old

Who says some of us aren't already?

 

[I-L-L 1318]

Name checks out

 

[altgeld88]

I'm grateful, but frankly I don't know why you do. I wouldn't like us if I were you!

This is definitely the key. I've learned instead to pin my happiness on my golf game.

Which after about two rounds, if I'm lucky three, inevitably leads me back to this thread to pin my happiness on Illini basketball recruiting.

It's a vicious cycle.

As if they don't need to be already...

 

[RollChief]

We need to find a way to channel this board's energy towards getting stressed out about roster spots into getting the Chief back...

 

[jacekpardol]

Haha!

Seriously for some of us this is a nice break from the mundane life. This board breaks up the long days sitting at a desk under flouresent lighting staring at spreadsheets all day.

I enjoy this stuff and get emotional about it for the same reason I would watch an action/adventure/thrill/horrow show - it's a nice escape from the mindane.

Andrej on Thursday:

"As of now, I'm open. As of today I'm open, and just hearing people out."

Regarding visits: “That's something I really haven't discussed with my people yet. So there are no visits planned yet, but maybe. I'm open to it."

I long for the good old days when we only lost the RayJ. Dennises of the world because someone else offered $300k to our $200k.
