Looks like we've got a couple new commitments since the outage felt 'round the world.

2 very solid additions

Very good chance Reggie Bass will never play at Illinois. I don’t know much about him or his game but he has some “issues” apparently

I agree and several other "connected persons" to the program think so as well. I think Bass doesn't show, with our 2 Top 100 guards in the fold, and the wings/off guards we have as well already signed, the focus now shifts to a BIG and Casey specifically.

Epps and Harris look like solid players. Have no idea what the Bass situation is, but these guys will replace Storrs and Bass.
We need bigs and hopefully one of these multiple 2/3 guys we have coming in this year and next can play lead guard .

So did Frazier just recruit his first ever 2 top 100 players?

Harris is now out of Top 100, but close enough.
Epps solidly in Top 75.

Congrats to him and staff.

We have a steady diet of Top 150 guys and good transfers we should be alright.

These are good gets.
People may disagree, but the 75-150 range is very similar IMO. Not usually immediate starter or major impact guys at P5, nor future NBA guys, but many can become rotation players right away and starters by soph year and even some stars develop.
Get the right roster construction and enough of them develop you can be a very good program.

Once.

It is different now. We effectively  have free agency and transfers potentially going to the highest bidder.

The NCAA pretty much  punted on NIL recruiting rules. It is mostly up to state laws and each institution. They can apparently project / offer whatever  number.

Any insight as to what those issues might be?

I really liked Bass too.

Piper seems to be well connected obviously with the program...he doesn't think he makes it. Nothing concrete, but I would guess the usual can't qualify here?

I like Bass game, just don't see the need with a 3 star 6'4/5 wing when we got the guys on board already and the others signed up to come?

Frazier will/is be the real deal for us...his door will be getting knocked on again. I really think he stays with us for some time however.

Talk from some that he had an attitude and barked at teammates. Not sure that is a bad thing though.

Going to wrap up this thread.
Barring any summer defections, creening, or late additions- we are probably set.
