Not to mention IN STATE. Even if it's not Chicago proper, dominating the burbs and outside of it is something we should do.

Such an overrated concept. Just sign the best talent from anywhere in the world. This isn’t the 80s/90s where you could build a pipeline to a specific school, most of the top players are transferring to out of state basketball academies.

6' 3" soph visit:
Living close to Columbia, MO I can tell you, a lot of Missery fans are upset he's committed to the Illini and not Missery.

Poor Tigger sad!!! It okay you find new recruit Tigger!!! ILL....
Good to hear, but how often do college recruiters pull more than one player from the same high school team?

he's got it going on:
I liked his game even after just watching the highlite news clip of Mason Martin (page 4) after he committed here last week. Nice big lefty wing who can shoot from deep and handles the ball well.
Now after having watched that clip, he's even much more impressive given he's just a sophomore. Kid has really good upside and if he gets taller, watch out!
Pretty sure he'll evolve into a must get kind of recruit, if not already especially with his HS teammate already committed.

anyone know what our stance is with Jaylan Mitchell? see he's with Overtime Elite now, so figure the SPIRES Academy didn't work out. no idea if he's back on the court and how he's doing. he's dropped from a 5 star (~20) to around 50th. injury (not playing) or something else? classic case of kid maturing far earlier than his cohorts? dunno, just guessing.

Somewhat of a deceptive tweet. He's been hearing from those six but that doesn't make them the top six and this image makes it look like he's made that choice already.
Tajh Ariza, who signed with Oregon, came from St. John Bosco, but otherwise I can't find any read on where this guy is looking.
