It’s the curse.....

Oh yeah, that. What was the excuse when we had The Chief. I don’t remember. Wasn’t that also a curse?
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Hutcherson will be returning from injury. Supposedly he was/is a stud in practice before he got shut down, but we’ve all heard those urban legends before. Maybe Rob can give us some insight into how Hutch looked?

Could help. Kind of forgot about him.  Thanks.

College basketball is such a shithole.

Yeah I’m ok with not giving a coaching position to some jerkoff to rent his player for 2 years. Can you imagine trying to coach a team with this kid on it while dealing with his unqualified mentor every day?

It has been this way forever. Recruiting can be really strange shit.

Why do you think he's unqualified?

Basically an unheard of guy that runs a prep school in Canada trying to leverage the one big time player he’ll probably ever coach into a US college gig.

This is their mindset:

This guy gives an analysis.
Handles and motor more impressive than the other video I watched. Shotblocking stinks for his size. Limited face up, but showed a couple.
Can drive from 10-12 feet which is nice.


I don't see one and done here, but they note he is already 19 years old which explains the reclassifying and wanting to move to pros quicker.
Who knows.

Agree that hiring his coach/mentor would have limited value compared to hiring somebody like WIU did with Irvin, but its part of the game. Will not be the last we look at along the way who will want  something for their AAU coach, or their dad who is a coach.  Some of these guys occasionally have value. Its not like we have a fkcing brain trust of Steve Kerrs and Coach Pops running the show. We could cut the guy loose if he was just taking up space and he could go onto other gigs, or carry water for his guy in pros wherever that is.

So we have #94 Goode, the #97 Menendez kid for sure at wings, and maybe the #160 polish Wisconsin Mr. BB scoring guard .  Anybody else we are looking at? Grad transfers?

Kofi leaves we are really back in pack.

Lot of activity with transfers...but honestly, activity and actual results have been a huge issue at Illinois

Names being mentioned

Tre Mitchell UMASS...stud, but another shady deal. His “mentor” leeched on to an assistant coaching job and is ...engaged to his mother. Another 100% shady deal

Arman Franklin from IU is talking to them.

Sure there’s a boatload of others just starting as it’s wild this year

Yeah from what I’ve heard, there are tons of coaches recruiting mostly from the transfer portal market these days. So many kids transferring, it’s almost become the new way to recruit.

Quite a list of transfers.  I probably missed the memo, but how was it that non Grad transfer guys were allowed to play this year like Griffin and Tevian Jones without sitting out?
Did everybody get a Covid pass, or were they under the Mark Smith/Coach Hulka exemption?

Surprised this Canadian cat was not persuaded by all our great new facilities when he picked ASU over ILL. Guenther Lite may want to open the checkbook a little wider for things other than facilities.

Whitman signs off on the waiver because it’s good PR, they aren’t competing against us, and it’s the right thing to do.

Yeah I’ve always said it’s the right thing to do. Just let the kids play.
