Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Cole Kelly looks like he would be the perfect fit for the Illini at Small Forward. The position that Andrej Stojakovic will be playing this season. Sounds like Duke will be competing in this recruiting battle.

Does he rebound? What about Mason?

Exactly what it means! Just like Ayo and Kofi did!
Yep Ayo, Kofi, Coleman and TSJ all did this. I believe Coleman did it twice with one returning to IL and the 2nd time transferring to K-State after pulling out of the draft.

I'm actually surprised only Andrej is doing this. I kind of thought Tomi and possibly Mirk would of done this for the feedback too.

They’re competing for him and Pettigrew (more an SG) given Jon Scheyer’s IL ties and the Duke brand of course.

Not so fast my friend. Several guards have been selected with under 27% from 3. Jalen Johnson being the latest
I'm sure there are some examples, but Jalen Johnson shot 44% (plus he was 6'9" and 220lbs). Anthony Edwards was closer (29.4%), and Stephon Castle (26.7%) was below that, but both were freshman and freakish athletes. Castle also had a lot more assists.

It's tougher to find an upperclassman who's 6'7" or shorter shooting under 27% taken in the first round unless they have exceptional traits or other contributions.

Somehow I was reading about Dennis Johnson stats who played back in my day who was a very poor 3 point shooter who got drafted. My bad

I think you missed my joke….

Have now seen two "Too Early" Top 25's with a starting lineup of Coleman/Vaaks/Andre/Mirk/Tomi, and another with a lineup of Vaaks/Andre/Mirk/Z/Tomi. As has been mentioned, not sure it matters who has the P and who has the S before their G, but I have a hard time imagining Brad would start Tomi, Mirk and Z, given the need for someone to sub in at some point.

He wouldn't start those three together unless we had multiple injuries at the 1-3 positions.
