Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

[jamarvelous31]

I remember a time this board was not fond of Geoff…. Might have been last month..

Well Geoff isnt in the photo, so I assume he had nothing to do with the recruitment and should be fired.

Just Kwa, Brad, OA, & @illini0440

Indy, you're always precise and intentional with your GIF selection. Is Geoff the lead on Catchings??

 

[Illiniindian]

Okay, let’s go that route. Would be very interesting!

I'm so glad the reports are that the visit went great, cuz in this photo the guy in the middle looks like he's in pain.

That's not @illini0440. That's Hamer. It seems @illini0440 must have stayed home with Mom instead of going to work with Dad.

OA is the lead recruiting on Riley obviously, so this must be referring to Catchings?

But, it's not a boom, so I'm going to interpret this as the staff is now talking to Catchings in a serious way about coming here, but no commitment yet

 

[Goldtop]

If Catchings is on our radar, don’t watch Sleepers Media to feel good about him being an Every Day Guy.

See, I always thought Indy was Tyler.

 

[Bbuck21]

He made his own decision … He only visited IU, Illinois and Purdue …

His Mom definitely wanted him to go to Illinois …

This has been in the works for months regarding him not going to Purdue …

Do you think when a kid makes this decision at this point in the year, he has already decided where he wants to go? Or just doesn't want to be at his first choice?

 

[Bbuck21]

No, he's at Kentucky. Check the shirt. Kid won't go to a small school!

Dad joke. I get in trouble for that !!!!.

Indy is the UI bag man

Thread meme winner.

 

[PortalGiant]

I've seen other reports that it was NIL promise that wasn't coming through and not along the lines of what they mentioned in the video

 

[IlliniFanTX]

No way. Indy is way too old to be Tyler

 

[So ILL]

It sounds like every fan base when they lose a commit. And sometimes it's actually true.

Yeah, but thats like the fan that says every year “this is our year!”. And the one out of 100 times it happens; they tell everyone “see?!? I told you so!!!”

 

[Bbuck21]

Heard an older lady once call it a “Great Internet Find” and I never forgot that.

My business partner once told me they discovered his mother-in-law was sending sympathy cards to friends that had just lost a loved one. She was signing them with "LOL". She thought is meant "Lots of Love".

Is the consensus Catchings over Riley? Riley is 5 months younger, seems to be a walking bucket and didn't just walk away from another B10 program after getting on campus.

Separately does this say anything about Ty & Tre's offseason that they're willing to make playing commitments Painter (supposedly) was not at the 2/3?

 

[illiniwil]

Since all these UConn players get thirty days to pick a new school, that
could really put a damper on Coleman's chances of securing a pay day.

Don't think anyone is picking Catchings over Riley. The only argument is Riley will be here one year but even that isn't a good one.

This is what Indy said yesterday.

Indy, would you rather have Riley or Kanon?

Riley fits this team better ... He'd be my pick ...

But I don't think you'd go wrong either way ... Both are 1st round talents ...
