DGL vs a top 25 kid is a no brainer for me (and I assume the staff since he's visiting). DGL is likely your 8th man.

I'd be slightly more *but still not THAT* concerned about what it means with IL & Ty.
Riley might mean more time at backup guard for a Rodgers, which could still work with every other position able to shoot.

At the end of the day we’d have 11 guys with a shot at minutes and 10 with more eligibility after next season. They will all have to battle for minutes and inevitably some will lose minutes. Some will be unhappy and transfer at the end of the year.

If junior Rodgers cant beat Fresh Riley, then Riley is a stud or Rodgers hasn’t improved. Same for DGL.

FWIW I hate the new system, but it is what it is.

I’m hoping for our reconciliation with Peoria with Dietrich and the talent in the area for men and women..

I’ll say a lot of small ball worked well in a lot of games but in the finals bigs dominated.

High on them as 4 year players that can help this team win, imo. Doesn’t mean they will be superstars, and not everyone will be.

I’m really curious about the ivisic guy because he is 21 and 230-250lbs from the rumors and Morez was a monster from birth.Im excited by the flexibility…

Completely agree. I think ON3 and ESPN puts very little thought/analysis into these. I don't think there's any bias against Illini recruits. FWIW other fan bases make the same complaints about their recruits being too low (well likely not Duke or Kentucky cause it's hard to make that claim if your guys are ranked top 5 or 10).

Based off what I’m hearing … And like I’ve stated on here …

O has put in freaking work in this recruitment … Brad is rolling out the red carpet for this visit and we are looking to close … Brad wants the kid …

There have been a few times I’ve seen Brad this locked in on a kid … When he gets in this mode … People on the trail do not wanna be against him …

Brad watched Riley live and texted O “get us an f’ing visit” … Per sources … 😂😂😂

Brad ain’t playing around …

Would the NBL really be a better option than playing for one of the most elite college programs in the US? I don't see how that would be a major option like these guys are saying.
