Illinois Hoops Recruiting Thread

If Riley doesn’t commit by Saturday I’ll start to lose hope.

Gotcha. Maybe I should have inserted the word actually. I am not saying he will be a legend. It's actually not a bad comparison in terms of style. Everyone thinks Riley is just a shooter, but he can pass too, and appears to have decent court awareness.

While we are in the nostalgia mode…

Flight number 33 taking off from the Willard airport.

Not a one of them was alive when Deron hit that shot against Arizona.

No, but Johnson or Riley could have been conceived when Deron hit the shot which would fulfill the prophecy foretold by the ancients...ie Loren Tate.

Riley’s gonna make us wait until Saturday, isn’t he? That’s cool. My celebratory “Letterkenny” episodes and Molson can wait…

I've got a Moosehead on ice

One year of JuCo. He then transferred, sat out a year, and played 3 at Illinois.

Wabash Valley in Mt. Carmel....not sure but I believe Mark Coomes was his coach there

Or when Andy hit that shot against Iowa
Or when Nick hit that shot against Indiana

Or when we landed on the moon.

Will Riley... Oh Yeah I know him. He's got the big place on green Street. He comes by here all the time!


That's a commitment IOU...5 Star with killer shooting stroke. Might wanna hold on to that one

Possible admissions issue with Tomislav Isivic. Hopefully it can be worked out.

I'm willing to bet that Josh Whitman and staff are motivated enough to figure it out, if in fact it possibly can be....

So this is how we get Coleman back...

/s .... maybe

 

[Brosky]

you're right. I could be wrong, but I don't see him as a starter for sure. He's going to practice extremely hard and earn that. To start, he would have to beat out Davis, Rodgers, White, and Kasparas. I'm sorry, but I don't see that happening. I do see him getting plenty of minutes off the bench.

 

[Brosky]

I hope it can. Coaches and advisors no doubt saw this coming all along. Without him, I don't see our new group as excellent, just good.

Who would be out backup option? MJ and Booth?

Mark Coomes = Lou's nephew

Getting him in shouldn't be a huge issue. Gonna take some time though but I have no doubts they get him in.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Would be kind of rough in Big10 play with some of the bigs in the conference but could potentially be a fun team to watch with some matchup problems even without Tomislav and if they don't get a replacement.

Subtracting Tomislav and adding Riley would obviously lead to Morez playing more but you would also see a lot of Booth and likely some Hum at the 5. Ty and maybe Tre at the 4.

Something like Kylan, Kasparis, Riley, Tre, and Hum would put 5 shooters out on the floor that cann all put the ball on the floor.

Not saying I don't believe you just confused by what issues an incoming freshman would have? It's not like he's transferring credits that won't get accepted.

Just some hoops they have to jump through, and nothing they did not expect. KJ should be on campus in the next few weeks as well. Expecting around August for Ivisic.
