Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

In today's NIL world, the fact that Blackwell's Dad played for Illinois meant nothing. He was going to go for the most money and the best chance to win a Championship, with money being most important. He also looked at our roster and figured his minutes might be less than last year. At this point, I don't think we need him to be a great team and he might not have been good for the chemistry this team has. Let's be happy with the the guys we have and not be wishing for guys that didn't want to be here. Go Illini!

Snoozing on Duke. I don’t think John Blackwell is a plug and play superstar. He can be an efficient scorer as long as he and one other guy are getting all the shots.
Think he could get lost in the Duke shuffle and have a down year.

When I was a kid, I can remember my grandma talking about the weather and she would always say “Well, Mr. Roberts said…” or if there was a storm or some kind of bad weather, she would tell my grandpa he better turn on Mr. Roberts!How many people here were living in town watching these two when they were on WCIA together? Show of hands.
The way she referred to him by name, for a long time I thought he was like a personal friend
100% agree, but no one in their right mind would have hired Tony Larussa 9 years after his last gig with a pending DUI and we all saw what happened there..
A Final Four two years ago and a wild prayer going in from Mullins this year from a back to back Final Four is underachieving?
What would his Meets Expectations be?
You're incredibly stubborn to a fault. They lost their top 3 scorers the previous year so its not close to the same. Last year they brought in an elite recruiting class that is all a year older and was waiting their turn. Florida is deep and legit and much more than just 6 players. You're picking the wrong argument. Its ok to be wrong sometimes.
What is your point? All that being said Duke ain't won a National Title since 2015!! 2015 and they have all these resources and #1 recruiting classes all the time.

I think Duke qualifies as a winner.
but why? lol...he has played 5 seasons in 6 years..A veteran guard is available!
If he was going to get lost at Duke, isn't the same true here?

He's obviously not NBA bound, so keep cashing checks as long as you can. It's a good business move.
I have no idea how he could possibly be eligible again, though.
"I hate to lose"- Quentin Coleman
Boozer already announced his return. Foster will likely be coming off the bench.
Does he actually have eligibility? Usually these tweets say something like “needs a waiver” or “applying for waiver.”A veteran guard is available!

So, out of his own mouth, he wants to be ball dominant and threw his old school under the bus while telling the world that. "No knock on "them'....."
That's a 100% knock on them. They brought in Boyd to be that guy.
He was never, ever going to come here and get that assurance. Now, more than ever, I believe that it was going to be Drej of Blackwell and Brad made his choice, which IMO.....was an extremely wise one.
I don't blame Blackwell for taking the easier road with Duke backcourt.
He'd be competing with Fagbemi here with the scout team.
