He_Gawn Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/news?slug=ci...tory_recruiting Sat next to Gordon while taking SAT's. I asked him why he's even taking them because he could go pro straight out of high school if he continues to improve. He just smiled and said nothing.

Palehosefan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Gordon is an amazing commitment for the Illini. Thats as good as you can do to start off the 2007 recruiting season. Gordon has an amazing outside shot with a very quick release. He also has explosive leaping ability and is still growing at 6'3. When you guys sign Derrick Rose later on, you will match what UNC did this year with the top PG and top SG in the respective classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 For the 2nd straight year, NIU beats DePaul. I know DePaul isn't spectacular this year, but still a nice win and hopefully is a confidence builder for the Huskies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the commitment of Gordon I'm more optimistic about Rose but he is not exactly a sure thing for Illinois by any stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Everyone wanted Gordon, including the rare Duke offer without a commitment known beforehand. Coach K usually only hands out offers when he knows a guy will commit soon after, he doesn't like being left with an offer on the table to anyone. As for Rose, the Illini are about as much of a lock as you can be at this point. Kansas is the other main competition, and they will be coming off of two straight years getting one of the top 2 PG's in the class. You really don't think Rose will be bothered by having Chalmers and Sherron Collins in front him? Its never happened before, having 3 straight years with top 2 PG's commiting to a single school. Two straight years, yes. But not 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 As always, depends what the refs let Redick get away with. That is always a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Definitely. If Ben Allen plays his best game yet and someone like Vaden can chase Redick around the court and make him take bad shots, then IU with Killingsworth having to lead the charge, could pull off the upset. Duke's weakness is that they are still not very athletic. They needed alot of help from the officials including 8 more fouls called on Memphis to come out on top in their last game. For as big as their frontline is, they still don't get alot of rebounds, including a combined 12 rebounds out of McRoberts and Williams in 70 minutes of play. I would like to see IU run some traps and man up the entire game. It should be the best game of the Big Ten/ACC showdown in my opinion, I can't wait.

whitesoxfan101 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 That's part of the issue against Duke. You have to beat them, which is very tough as it is, BUT you also have to beat the officials. Not an easy task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
