ZoomSlowik Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 7, 2009 -> 05:56 PM) And I don't remember Michael even doing anything whatsoever. Yeah, he sucked pretty hard. Good size and decent athleticism, but no skills whatsoever. I'm not really sure how he got a scholarship from Duke first, but whatever. Still intrigued, I'm not used to caring about Northwestern recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIU sucks so the NCAA would have no problems just dropping the hammer on their basketball program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are returning their 2-5 top scorers (3 of whom were underclassmen) in addition to Ferguson and have a a nice PG coming in too. Plus they have a very highly touted center coming in 2011. They could easily compete for a spot in the tourney in the next few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The #2 player in the rivals rankings, WR Kyle Prater, picked USC over among others, Illinois today. It probably doesn't mean much more than USC is currently the leader since verbal commitments are irrelevant nowadays, but it's going to be hard to beat out USC for a football player which they are the stated leader for. The Illini already lost a highly rated in state receiving recruit to Tennessee, so this doesn't help. The Illini are pretty loaded at WR right now, which might actually be hurting them on the trail.

JuiceCruz16 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) ATTN: Kyrie Irving. Come to IU. That is all. They seem to be the leader for Irving. Duke is making a hard charge for him as well. IU and Duke are my only two teams I can't stand at all, so I hope he finds a third team to go play for. IU would be the lesser of two evils though since my Tarheels wouldn't have to see him at least twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuiceCruz16 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Aaron Bowden decommitted from Marquette. This trend is just going to keep growing with the coaches getting verbals at younger and younger ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Actually, as I think about it, another thing that might be hurting Illinois on the trail is the fact that there is a distinct possibility Ron Zook's job is in jeopardy right now.

Top 5/10 classes every year as long as this staff is around. But, we literally have no QB's for the future. We have 3 scholarship QB's right now, and 1 is a JUCO transfer that I don't think will ever amount to s***. He had no other D1 offers then UT came in late in the game essentially b/c we needed more than 2 QB's. Edited September 9, 2009 by dasox24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prater's verbal is irrelevant, as most verbals are nowadays. His recruitment will go all the way down to signing day. A verbal is nothing more than a statement of who your current leader is nowadays.

JuiceCruz16 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) The Harrison Barnes courtship is really getting to a fever pitch. Duke and Coach K. had the last scheduled in home visit, but then the Barnes family requested that Roy Williams come back that night for a second in home after Coach K. left after his afternoon visit. Speculation is running wild. It does seem that Duke and Carolina are the last two standing for Mr. Barnes at the moment and ole Roy has made up so much ground UNC may be looking good right now.

I love it. With so many juniors on the team (meaning lots of open scholarships for the 2011 class) combined with just how many good players (mainly in Illinois) that the Illini have a shot at, that could be a top 5 class nationally for them if Bruce and the staff are on their game. Get Beal and Blackshear somehow (although I think just getting one of them would do), and it could be even better than top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's not too bad though, there isn't room for everybody they are in on right now (even with all the schollies available) because they are in on so many good 2011 guys. Beal is the important guy IMO, although that won't be easy either obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a class of something like Abrams, Randle, Thompson/Langford (kid from Alabama who favors Illinois), Siakam/Shaw, and Egwu would be a great class. Best case scenario (although unlikely) would look like this: PG - Abrams SG - Beal SF - Thompson PF - Shaw/Miller C - Egwu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
