Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Tables@EddieMunster]

Hate to say it, but the Adam Miller saga still going on tells you all that you need to know.

Bob Dylan once wrote Times They Are A-Changing. Nick Irvin’s had never heard that song…

 

[Second place is 1st loser]

Are we part of the saga or did we drop back ten and punt?

 

[WeWillWhen]

Just sat next to Dusty May on the rental car shuttle. He was traveling solo in LA at LAX airport.

Name checks out

Ben Humrichous – Feta: A stretch forward known for his three-point shooting, Humrichous adds a tangy and sharp dimension to the team's offense, much like the bold flavor of Feta.

MVP is supposed to be the most valuable player, not necessarily the best player (realizing “best” is a subjective term, but almost always means highest scoring player).

 

[Illini4Christ]

And a lot of Eggo Homestyle, peanut butter and maple syrup.

 

[jumpingjack]

I mean...one way or another.

 

[logjam]

Update: Jakstys ( properly spelled) is 230 thanks to fletch. Not sure tho how many minutes he gets.

I think he does get some minutes this year...

0440 said yesterday we are between 7 and 9 mill

Last week it was reported there were over 15 teams that spent over 10 mill

I believe Buschon was the beat guy who has us at 25-40th

We will continue to move down as other teams spend money and fill out rosters

Really impressive job putting this roster together imo

Closer to 10 then 7,8.9. That’s not a set number at 10. We can go higher if absolutely needed but we are not in a race to be the top NIL.

i'm not. my point is that just 14&7 seems fairly low to be an MVP candidate of a league that's been fiarly well praised throughout. (and that's not me saying that isn't an MVP candidate)

Its not MVP of the league but MVP of that specific round which was played that week. This is the game that made him MVP of that week, he had valorization of 37 - highest in the league for that round.
MVP of Adriatic league was already chosen the other day.

their season hasn't ended yet. The league MVP for the season hasn't been handed out yet. i've heard on multiple places he's a cadidate for their season MVP award.

Defense and defensive strategy with this group gonna be a big focus heading into the season.

 

[Brosky]

Torvik currently has us at #14 and that doesn't include Petrovic or Mirkovic.

That sounds encouraging. Mirkovic is big and stronger, Petrovic is strong with the ball, fast, and experienced and mature.

Perhaps looking for a new Hamer?

 

[BrimfieldBomber]

That's Customer Service, trying to return all of Ben's bricks?

 

[Illini92and96]

He is indeed known, at least amongst this group, for his three point shooting. Not necessarily for three point making, however, but that is another story.

Completely fine with it still going on at the moment. We are no longer in panic territory to fill roster spots. We have one open. Here is what we would offer you it's yours if you want it otherwise once it's filled it's filled.

Illinois isn't even in contact with him anymore.

 

[derrick6]

I don't think, if we add a player, it'll be until late May. Went over it the other day, but feel this team is older and deeper. Think Andrej and Tomi could be All B10 first team guys.

Just need some speed…again

Good. Seems like handlers have been way too involved his entire career. Good luck to him, but for too much baggage for my liking.

I’m guessing Adam’s currently in that recruiting no man’s land where the teams he's interested in are more interested in holding onto their remaining dollars as they wait to see who exits the NBA draft. Why pay a million dollars for someone when you might need two million for someone you’d rather have?

He may have over played his hand and end up with less than Illinois offered.

 

[the juiceman cometh]

ESPN has us ranked early preseason #21. Do you know who they ranked preseason #21 last year? Florida.

Therefore every preseason #21 until the end of time should expect to make at least the Elie Eight?

It is disappointing it turned out the way it did. I was really excited about the redemption story. But with the way things turned out for us, it really is no concern for us. If his crew is still a problem, that’s great we don’t have to deal with them. Still, I hope things work out for him.

Doesn't include Humrichous either. While some will joke about that, you can add him back in and he replaces AJ Redd in the top ten and moves us to a net 8th.
