What about Scottie Adkinson from Webster Groves, Missouri high school? I heard Mizzou and Illinois have offered him but I also heard that he likes Illinois better. I know one of his school coaches when he played at Marion and he said that he was a great kid and couldn’t say enough good things about him, and wished Marion still had him, obviously. Coach said he is a hard charging to the rim smart guard.

Back in late August you said that Lee and Ahrens were a done deal, any info on Ahrens that's new? Nice call on Lee btw, everyone likes to point out when you guys are wrong but rarely mention when you get it right. At this point, does he even want to come here with 4 stars out the @$$? Wouldn't blame him for heading somewhere with guaranteed PT, but you can't buy a championship with NIL (okay, you might be able to now).

Ahrens was a done deal on the re class and then it fell apart for a couple of reasons on both sides … We aren’t even super active in that recruitment anymore … We pretty much only wanted him if he would re class and redshirt …

Someone told me he’s going to Boise State for a visit I think ?

I’d bet he winds up elsewhere …

So who are we targeting? It seems like the 3 guards? @Indy Illini Fan

He’s 6’5 … 6’6 in shoes …

Then the truth is he is 6'5". If we want to know how thick the soles of a player's shoes are, we will contact the manufacturere Otherwise, HE is 6'5".

Fact is, if we are going to promote lies, I would prefer a coach/team report their roster 2 to 3 inches shorter than the factual height. Then when you shake hands with your counterpart of the same height, it is a bit more intimidating when he is looking down at you!!!
