I think Kasparas Jakucionis might be the guy for Illinois. In the latest mock draft I saw, he was the projected #6 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. 6-6 point guard. Hard to project when your team has 10 new players.

The 2025 recruiting class. So the next signing class which can sign next month. So not current rosters but everything going forward.

Yes. It was actually 15 back in the day. Then 13. Now 15 again.

With the increase of scholarships from 13 to 15, I think high recruits will be important as well as the portal. You can take a chance on a high school recruit who might develop when you have 2 extra scholarships.

I think Garcia will be on the list at the end of the year, but I think the overall list will look much different.

He’s a wing? Didn’t play any wing against Illinois. Good player, though.

Announcing this evening

Wagler committing in the next few days. Minnesota or Illinois.

I Illinois had no shot at Cam. The year before, Illinois fans had booed his brother when Michigan State came to town. The family mentioned it. Illinois was never in deep with Cam after that.

Late bloomer. Size. Can shoot it. His team wins.

Happens all the time, but your odds are still better with 4 and 5 star recruits.

Alabama has one of the top NIL funds of all schools. Is Allen a priority for them?

So Illinois is 167 due to some plus-300 games, bu I contend that the number of high-end games is more important than scheduling some plus-300 games that can be used for experience for young guys. St. Mary’s ranked higher than Illinois due to not many bad games but Nebraska is one of their best...

Missouri had a 7-5 kid this year who played a little for a really bad Missouri team. He was not a factor at all.

It’s a pretty weak schedule for a veteran team with some talent.

Doubtful that he plays in the game.

It could happen, I guess, but only one player averaged a double double in BT play last season: Edey.

Yep. Upperclassmen transfers and top freshmen recruits are ideal. Other recruits can be developed elsewhere. Sucks for midmajors. Looking around the league, there are a lot of improved rosters who have added transfers.

Humrichous is one of Illinois’ best two players. Likely the leading scorer. C. 7-1 Tomislav Ivisic (21 year old from Croatia who succeeded against top competition in Euro leagues), 6-9 Morez Johnson (top 30 recruit coming off gold medal win for USA U18 national team), 6-10 freshman Jason...
