Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Ragging on posters for pointing out the obvious seems weird. Brad and the staff thought we had a big enough hole at guard they were willing to make that guard the highest paid player on the team. Us pointing that out just means we have eyes. Now pretending we weren't willing to spend a bucket of money and we never needed them anyway seems more weird to me.

I love the team. I see the same hole our coaching staff does.

In just 15 minutes, Quentin Coleman with 12 pts, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and zero turnovers. Love his aggression and craftiness. Let's get this kid signed and in the weight room.

My ideal final add would be a veteran who projects as a three-and-D guard at the next level. Point of attack defender who doesn’t need to have the ball in his hands at the offensive end, and is fine being the 4th or 5th option. A more athletic Jake Davis, if you will. Thank you.

Definitely agree here. With Defense and athleticism being a pain point last year, I’d love to see this piece of our game answered for optimal confidence.

Truth be told, not saying Blackwell was that piece. Give me a promising portal guard who’s stellar on defense and 100% bought into our system and locker room, and I have no problem we’re better suited than we would be even with Blackwell.

So we are going to downgrade at the guard spot and be top 5?! How does that make sense?

Saying you’ve never seen Quentin Coleman play without saying it.

Very concerning that Coleman has not signed yet. Something to keep an eye on.
