Hope you had some nice trips....not all business hopefully...how did the hotel scouting go for Detroit hotels. Locked in early I hope.

They were nice. An Illini final four is probably the only reason I would go to Detroit at this point!

Landon Davis is our next "gem" uncovered by the staff. This kid is getting high praise from BU (we've heard it before I know).

This kid is going to have Auggie type of skills in the open court, with better positional defense at his size as well.

Looking forward to seeing this kid grow.

Can't argue with much other than the lower ranked teams on here were a LOT of collective rotational frontcourt players...why grade them out then?

Same article could have been Top5 imo.
