I'm not sure any of these guys are "true PGs". They all are more combo guards. Kylan maybe the closest thing to a true PG, but even he will look for his from time to time. He's not necessarily a pass first guy.

They can all distribute when needed and can all score when needed. There is no reason you couldn't play 3 of them at a time.

Think 2005 Illini. More recently, Scott Drew's Baylor teams... Bunch of combo guards. Lots of wins.
Boswell is a "true" point guard. That doesn't mean he doesn't look to score.

Would Kylan, Jeremiah & Jasper all mesh? Only 40 minutes a game at the 1… not to mention Kasparas & DGL…

There’s certain guys who think Kylan could have a good enough year to go pro … Jeremiah is gonna come in and play … But you can have those 3 and run offense through all 3 without issue …

And as for the other two … Playing time gonna be tough to come by and we will recruit over you if you don’t perform …

KG 18 assists in 1 game. That is a PG.

Kylan is going to have to be WAY better than he was at Zona for that to happen. Hope it happens, but that would be a major, major jump.

It's nearly impossible to overrate what Henson did for the program. He took miserable Illini basketball and gradually developed it into a regular appearance in the NCAA tourney. it was about 1975 he landed Levi Cobb, an elite Chicago star. He was mending fences with Chicago coaches and Levi was for sure important.

Lot of parallels here between Henson and Brad. Even down to landing an elite Chicago player to kick things off (Cobb/Ayo).

Hopefully OA and Brad stick together for as long as Jimmy and Lou did!

All this talk about KY...

and it might be most likely prediction wise that he ends up there...but, from the outside looking in, don't think they're the one to strike fear in this recruitment. Not with Pope.

Baylor probably though because they have his HS coach. Don't really like the idea of them becoming a real player here. Scott Drew has had some real good 5 star guys there - Kendall Brown, JaKobe Walter, Missi, Keyonte George, VJ this coming year...

Top 4 for Jasper … Illinois, UK, Baylor, Bama …

Arkansas is out … They’ve pretty much zeroed in on Acuff … But I think Acuff goes elsewhere … But even then, Jasper is more connected with O than Cal … They’d be 5th at best …

Agreed. If he makes the kind of jump necessary to TRULY be on NBA radars following next season, Illinois will have had a fantastic year.

Not saying it’s impossible, but as you point out, it’s going to require a sizable jump in performance.

Where have I seen 3 guards that can handle the ball all on the floor at the same time? 2005 maybe? Not saying it will be that again BTW.
