Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread
IMO 1 + 2 = no add except maybe a long term development player and/or someone signed to keep an agent happy
NOTE: Class of 2022 players who entered the portal in the traditional transfer window (April 7th—April 21st), can still transfer.
The previous transfer rules are still in place. Colorado just did not create a new transfer window.
Florida can still retain Aberdeen.

Complete chaos.
I don’t think we’re in a spot where we need to add someone and screw everything up with our guys who are here.
I think I’d agree given the buzz that Williams has been better-than-expected.

from my understanding, they retain both of them.Florida almost had Aberdeen
Though Xavian Lee could return now, I believe
Found the tweet
Agree. After a full HS recruiting cycle and transfer cycle, I'm wondering which team(s) does this not apply to. I'd think that most coaches/programs have spent their money and their rosters are set.
How about if Blackwell fights that coming back to illini wasnt an option when signed 2 way? Could that be something that staff would consider?

"I can't tell you. Secret."
Assume you mean Boswell here?
Booth, melendez, mayer, hum, petro. You don't have to think too hard to find the overs.
I've beaten a dead horse on Petro. I think he would have been fine, he just happened to show up on campus where the 5th overall pick was waiting - he falls into my bucket of "he underachieved because someone else stepped up".
Melendez late season push probably made him overachieve freshman year. Because he overachieved in year 1, maybe that meant he underachieved sophomore due to our expectations - I guess i'd roll with that, but a little nuance.
Humrichous for sure didnt reach expecations in year 1, i think he crushed expectations in year 2. Half the board wanted him off the team. Another 25% of the board still blames him for Morez Johnson shooting 50 percent from the free throw line. Overall, I'd call Ben's time in Champaign successful
Mayer - forgive me, I don't really remember the consensus of the board on him. If we were saying AA, then ya, ridiculous. But he started 33 games for us and averaged 12.5 and 5 (career highs in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks). He was goofball, and i think we all kinda disliked that team, but he was productive.
Booth - you're right. I'd add Skyy Clark to that list as well.

Aberdeen would have to stay at Kentucky per the judge’s clarification on the injunction.
