Utah Valley Justin Harmon with ILLINI offer in portal?

I really hope this isn't the signs of our portal talent this year. 45 from field an d34 from 3's. NIT Final Four player.

If we have 4 spots which as of now we do, here is who I would like if we (fans) had any part in the portal talent we can get. Only players in already of course.

Posh Alexander
Javonte Brown Ferguson
Aiden Ighiehon
Murray or Knecht

If we want to keep the Baylor pipeline open, LJ Cryer is available.

Says he wants to play PG. A scoring PG. Shoots 42% from three.

This would address a lot of issues. Break out the money.

Would love to get this kid, big kid/proven player, problem is outside of our NIL collective, what would make him want to choose us over some of those schools, that make just as much if not more sense from PT standpoint?

I think if he comes he gets all of the playing time he wants.

How many dudes just contributed to high majors deep into the tourney after putting up mediocre shooting efficiency numbers at mid or low majors?

The national champions' third leading scorer shot 40% from the floor and 31% from the floor in three years at East Carolina.

The runner ups' second leading scorer shot 40% from the floor and 34.5% from three in two years at Seattle, after starting at City College of San Francisco.

Kansas State made the E8, their leading scorer shot 39% from the floor and 36% from three in two years at Arkansas-Little Rock.  Their fourth leading scorer shot 44% from the floor and 25.5% from three last year at Arkansas State. 

Texas made the E8, their second leading scorer shot 42% from the floor and 33% from three in three years at New Mexico State.

Not saying this guy is going to be that necessarily, but someone's stats at that level don't seem to be a particularly good indicator of their ability to contribute to a team making a deep run.

You did, part of the point is with our NIL collective (one of the nations best), and ALOT of playing time available....if recruits don't want to come here....how come?

They are not enamored with Underwood and/or our chances in NCAA tourney for exposure would be the answer.

But we’d be out of line to think we can maybe do better…
