Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[Noblesville Illini]

I’d want a starting spot, for starters.

Oh, and a piss pot full of cash.

Who would have thought Ben would go from being the bane of Illini basketball to some last year to being a key cog in the wheels of our rise back to the final four this year.

Farbeit for me to ring in with "I told you so"...and I won't. We needed Ben to bring just what he brought. Ben had the skillset to be the guy he was. Yet, I did not expect his defense and rebounding to improve to the point it did. It is hard to find guys with his size and athleticism who, at his age, are willing to play a defined role with so much dependability and enthusiasm. But we needed just what he did. Kudos to Ben for becoming that guy.

It's not like Major programs were all over him for a transfer. He went to Santa Clara. Maybe that's what it took for him to adjust or that extra motivation to improve. He looked slow and lost at Illinois.

Could make the point that DGL looked lost on offense at Illinois and lost don’t even begin to describe Carey Booth in an Illinois uniform.

At this point is Andrej just messing with us? I mean, come on, what are they negotiating over? What does he want, a building named after him?

Flirting with the NBA?

"How are we going to replace Ben?" a far cry from all the crying.

Best wishes Ty. I hope that you find success at your next destination. Thank you for the effort you put forth during your time on the floor for the Illini.

Bingo! After what happened last year, I'm sure that's part of the equation.

Man, the board hads a glass house of emotions over Drej. One of you guys need to bring great, not just good news.

 

[chiefini]

@Illiniam1984 Trying to read your code. As I remember, he only put his sunglasses on after he’d closed the case. Am I right?

I hope you are.

Edit:

AI told me this...

1. Final Scene: Sometimes, he puts them on at the end of an episode, signifying closure.

Florida just got back Haugh and Condon.

They could get Milan from ISU. Could also retain Chinyelu and Fland. Klavzar is also terrific.

That'd be a phenomenal roster.

That's the preseason #1 team in the country if they get Momcilovic....by quite a bit.
