I think Thursday we got a little bit of a tease from DB11Headband , Indy Illini Fan , and illini0440 about… something. Was that about 5 for 5 smoke or a possible portal add? Has anyone heard anything further?

Thread is slowing down and that makes me a bit sad 😔 . lol I know the hot takes were irritating for some but man the drama was exciting! lol. Anything to keep discussing our boys in O&B.

So… where do we stand with…. Things? 🤔

I’ve asked about Danilo Dovic like 4 times since then and haven’t heard anything… hoping they are in the running for him.

Cole Kelly is an absolute must get IMO. No excuses, especially with his HS teammate committed. Kid has so much potential and talent, and he plays with a very high motor. Love this kid's game!

And if Quinton Kitt grows a couple more inches before he gets to campus in a couple years....LOOK OUT! Might end up a 5 star before things are said and done.

I'm pretty sure that many will disagree w/this, but I think Kitt may have a higher ceiling than Kelly (even if he's topped out height-wise). Just to be clear, Kelly's a helluva prospect and I want him too. must get? don't think so. Brad and company are great pivot masters

Personally, I hope that we take a chance with picking up Stefan Joksimovic. That dude can play and would likely play himself into a role on next year’s team.

Even if he doesn’t, it would be great to get him here and have him for 2 or 3 years

Look, I'm not knocking his talent. A 6'7 guy who plays point guard clearly has physical gifts. But as it stands, he is one of the worst turnover machines I've seen. If you look at his stats playing for his team's developmental squad in the Spanish developmental league, he had nearly a turnover for every assist. If he's coughing the ball up to the other team like that in the Spanish developmental league, he is going to absolutely murder our chances against B1G competition. Could he grow out of this? Maybe. But for me, decision making ability under pressure is often just as innate as physical tools in a ball player. Given how much money he'll cost with his prospect rating, for me, Joksimovic is a hard pass.

Not even close to a must get. Jaden Schutt was a must get as well. How did that all work out for us? Very well I would say. Were at the point now with these in state kids that nobody is a must get. If you dont grab that offer and commit then were moving on.
