Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
I eat a lot of cottage cheese and it has never occurred to me to put sweet fixin's in it.
It's greek seasoning and crumbled saltine crackers for me.
If you view the complete list, there are almost 30 schools.
About the 5th year for Boswell. Even if they decide to change the rule, I think there's zero chance it applies right away.

Until the parameters are finalized, there still exists a probability of this happening. That said, said probability may begin with a decimal...and maybe followed by a zero...or two...or three.
Interesting logic, but I hope you are right
Found our veteran guard that has that dog in him…
Thanks for the info. I will need to watch how he performs for SMU.
I’ll trust Brad & Co. on their read of the newcomers in regards to being ready to compete for a title… but I think we’d need a significant PG to do so.Illinois will not be adding a significant piece….More a depth piece, if that. They really like the freshman. So don’t expect a significant addition.
But I’m also not paid millions to build and lead a successful program so I’ll shut up
Lol who's Blackwood?
Assuming you mean Blackwell, he's junior, not a freshman. He started 1 game as a freshman.
Yes I think Coleman will be very good.

Agreed, Coleman is very good. High IQ. Love his game.
If that's the "idea" the staff was presenting to Blackwell, then no surprise we are apparently no longer on his list, IMO.

I'd imagine his NIL ask is pretty reasonable. Some decent kibble, a supply of treats, and a few tennis balls and should be able to lock him down.
Ha! You caught this old man typing when he should have been sleeping. Yea sorry I meant Blackwell and I thought he was a freshman. I am just a fool.
I would take either NC state guard to be honest though I think there is more upside in Able.My dream has new life!!!!!!
McNeil is a sharpshooter with good size at the guard spot. You take him and simply play him off ball and are basically set.
Able isnt the same shooter as McNeil but still shows promise(35.5% from 3 and nearly 80% from the line as a freshman), but he's got a bigger frame, long arms, and is a more explosive athlete. The kid was a 5 star recruit last year, had a good freshman year, and I think he could turn into a plus perimeter defender with the ability to attack the basket and knockdown shots on the perimeter.
If Blackwell is out on Illinois then go get one of them and you can play 2 of Vaaks, Coleman, and McNeil/Able at all times at your guards spots.
I think you could see an addition sometime during the summer.
I expect one more, but they are (as has been said) very confident in the incoming freshman. My expectation is an add sometime June or July, probably from overseas.
On Kylan-that door is not closed if something is passed soon. I would not count on anything though.

Getting Boswell back wouldn't be a bad thing but getting that 5th year for guys would benefit other schools that graduated a bunch of talent far more than the Illini.
Purdue.
Place a nice helping of cottage cheese on nice ripe sliced tomatoes, sprinkled with some salt and pepper....don't get any better!!

I don’t know. Just watching his tape he’s a bit undersized and seems to dribble too much.
This is has very little depth, which is going to hurt us.
