Will be playing with Essengue and Saraf, both expected to be 1st round picks in '25. Guess he won't be doing much recruiting for the O&B.
Didn't know where to put this, but Talen Horton Tucker signed a partially guaranteed contract with the Bulls. He & Ayo are teammates. Finally!
Parents going to throw a fit again?
You mean the handlers….Parents going to throw a fit again?
You're probably not wrong. On the other hand, I'm a Bulls fan; I'm an Ayo fan, and at one point I was hoping to be a THT fan. Now I can be.Does this move the needle up for the Bulls? I've very little time or interest invested in the NBA as a whole and the Bulls are maybe 1 notch above that, entirely because of Ayo (and now TSJ). Am I wrong in thinking the only reason this is worth talking about is because of the connection these 2 have in the college/recruiting ranks, as opposed to anything of material value NBA wise????
To my understanding it was the parents throwing a fit. Handlers could include parents to some, though. So maybe.You mean the handlers….
You are correct. I still have the article saving somewhere that was going to be posted when THT committed to Illinois.Does this move the needle up for the Bulls?

So Liddell has now been with New Orleans, Atlanta, Phoenix, and the Bulls in a span of 2 months.Bulls sign EJ Liddel.
There was lots of rumbling out of iowa state that THT wasn't a great teammate. I'm glad he didn't come. All his focus was on NBA.How ironic that Ayo and THT will be donning the same uniform and be on the same team. I remember going back to that whole recruitment process and how Ayo's decision resulted in THT going elsewhere. Looking back, it worked out mostly well for Illini Nation but it would've been really cool to see both of these guys in an Illini uniform. But, THT bolted after one season at Iowa St so he wouldn't have been in Champaign for very long anyways.
I think this is a good signing for the Bulls. Can always use some depth
