Jimbo's Drinker Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) He's maybe the best recruiter in the nation, but he got in too late on Rose and there are too many heavyweights that have been on him for a while. Self will just get some another super duper 5 star recruit though. Alex Legion is now on their radar after getting out of his scholly with michigan.

fathom Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 I know there's been a lot of rumors regarding Rose and $......and let me just say that I've had that rumor confirmed by someone in the know. Whoever gets Derrick Rose is going to have less money in their "budget" than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever gets Derrick Rose is going to have less money in their "budget" than before. Yeah I predict he ends up at Memphis, it's just too obvious for so many reasons. Illinois will still get a very good player with that scholly though, a lot of guys are interested. Losing Rose sucks, but he (like Gordon) is a 1, maybe 2 year college player so who knows, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. But yeah, your right about Rose.....I heard it a while ago and have heard it more and more as time has gone on, but didn't want to post it and start more debate.

I wouldn't mind getting Nate McMillian's son, who has already stated he wants to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Darquavis Tucker (Michigan), E'Twaun Moore and Eshaunte Jones (Indiana), Maurice Miller (Memphis, TN), Brockeith Pane (Dallas, Texas), McMillian from out west, and Evan Turner of St Joe's HS are all guys the Illini are looking closely at. McMillian has a lot of Illini interest, but no offer yet. Tucker is a guy who the Illini have a great shot at since he really likes us and MSU has a ton of wings already, Moore is very good friends with Eric Gordon, and Pane has an Illini offer and is from an area where the Illini recently have got Deron Williams and Warren Carter. I'd consider McMillian, Pane, Tucker, and Jones the favorites if Rose does indeed head elsewhere....and the Illini most likely would be able to take 2 of them in that senario.

Of the junior class, I think the guys he will make his best attempt at are going to be: JaJuan Johnson, big from Franklin Central http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect...=2&pr_key=40036 Robbie Hummel, wing/backcourt from Valpo http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect...=2&pr_key=40075 Scott Martin, frontcourt guy from Valpo http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect...=2&pr_key=47781 E'twaun Moore, guard from East Chicago http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewprospect...=2&pr_key=29620 Those are the main guys I think he will be targeting from in-state, maybe the Jones kid from Ft. Wayne as well or Pressley from Ft. Wayne area. Also KS is expected to get his first verbal as soon as Sunday from the 9th ranked Juco player in the land in Mike White who is at IU right now for a visit. 6-6, 245 from Texas... http://jucojunction.rivals.com/viewprospec...=2&pr_key=41098 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 You'll get Hummel and Johnson, and probably either Jones or Moore. Plus Kelvin will bring in a stud Juco or 2 of course, (like that kid White appears to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we ended with Hummel, Johnson, Moore/Jones, a Juco and a solid out of state guy that would be a hell of a recruiting class for 2007. I think we'll know more this summer around Nike and ABCD on whether IU will become the clear leaders for those kids and I also expect KS to go after a few studs from the surrounding areas. I know his class he left behind at Oklahoma was real stellar and I expect him to pick it up immediately at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 In a shocker Kansas is recruiting a JUCO wing player due to concerns that Brandon Rush may indeed go pro. Or in other words, Rush is hearing he will be a lotto pick and wants to go pro if he can get a guarantee from an NBA team. http://kansas.scout.com/2/517395.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Coaches know I'm coming in for one year, putting up numbers, then going pro" - Brandon Rush He's gone the moment he's a lotto pick, and due to the lack of ability in this draft, he is one (even though he's not ready for the NBA yet").

Sources have told him he is not a lotto pick, most have him as a possible second rounder at this moment. Charlie Villanueva said the same exact thing. The kid signd with St Johns.

ZoomSlowik Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Rush is not a lotto pick right now. The scouts soured on him a bit toward the end of the season when he struggled. It is a weak draft, but he's still well behind guys like Morrison, Roy, Gay, and Carney. He's not going to get a guarantee in the lottery (or at least he shouldn't).
