Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

Storr is in the wrong system. Imagine TSJ in a system that slows the pace and doesn’t provide him the opportunity to continue to play downhill. It makes a difference.

For me then the question is can he learn to play with a team with multiple scoring options. The fact that we have multiple threats means it's really hard to shut off our water and I'd hate to give that up for one dude. We saw how that worked out last year with MM. I'm not here for it
Storr is a potential 20 ppg and 1st team All-Conference with the right program.
In May, 2024....we HAD multiple scoring options. For 2024-2025, we've got no scoring threats. There's going to be a LOT of pieces to the puzzle to put together. When you live in the portal and try to mix it together with prep recruiting....it gets tricky. Look what happened last year. Not a great mix.
Imo the Storr hate on here is completely unfounded. If you have the opportunity to take a 2nd team all big 10 sophomore, with room to improve, you take him. Storr's shots were never really taking the Wisconsin offense out of rythm because there was no rythm to begin with. There was a lot of pressure on him to make something out of nothing. Just can't believe we're about to lose TSJ, Domask, and Hawkins and there are people that would turn down a proven big 10 scorer in our own backyard. I'm not saying there aren't risks with him, but hes an obvious take.
Divided fan base. I personally can’t get into thirsting for a player on another team, especially a team I traditionally can’t stand.Storr has a great game vs Illinois in B1G Tournament.....
Loyalty: "Bring us AJ Storr now!!"
Storr struggles in one NCAA game...
Loyalty: "Storr is terrible why would we want that selfish sob??!!"
If you believe in our coaching and culture, bring him in and develop him properly. Second team guys don’t come easy. We took three very good fifth year players and look what they’ve become.

Word in Madison is that he's going to check out the NBA.. not that he's good enough..

Just look at Caleb Love as a possible similar type of player. Viewed a selfish chucker at UNC and went to a program that allowed him to develop other parts of his game. He has been hugely more effecient as a result and actually looks more like a real star player.
He is like Love for Arizona, never saw a shot he wouldn't take.40% from two and 32% from 3.

Lol...I get it...but please consult your closest hockey fan to help accept the player you hate on their team that you will love on your team concept!

Only take Storr as long as Brad thinks he can be an every day guy and will fit into the FamILLy team culture…

He is not ready for that.
Give the options out there, I'd rephrase this as: Only take Storr as long as Brad is sure he can be an every day guy and will fit into the FamILLy team culture… Last nights game was pretty toxic. I don't care that he had a bad game. It was the attitude that went with it that concerns me. His body language was off, and he stopped running plays in favor of bad shots once they were behind early.
Illinois doesn't appear to be pursuing Reed.

Lol the Caleb Love hate on this board was STRONG.
One game? The entire season was questionable. HIs season stats are 43% FG, 32% 3pt, 32/57 assist/turnover ratio.Storr has a great game vs Illinois in B1G Tournament.....
