You welcomed a kid who hasn’t committed.

Oh but did I?

IlliniChief likes to think he the cesspool insider.
He was freaking out about the roster a week ago.

There are 1300 guys in the portal and he has mentioned every one so far.

It does appear that actual recruiting analysts think Illinois is a lock for Dennis.

Let's hope they are right.

No I actually don't think I am an insider, don't pay for that crap, hell I don't pay for this crap either thank goodness  ;D....I just track the portal daily, because I am a lifelong ILLINI fan like many others. Thanks for letting me occupy some of your time, however you may just want to stick with giving Domfuknik a hard time.

I have not "freaked" out about any roster so far for the ILLINI, there are major holes to fill, and the staff seemed to be filling them. That said if TSJ/Hawk don't come back the picking will be slim...1 more for sure, yes after the RayJ commit officially, and 1 held to mid season for another transfer more than likely. That is/has been BU's strategy in the past.

I think 1300 may be a slight stretch, but no where close to Domfuknic claiming he has been right about every other forecast, hell every forecast... ;D ;D ;D

Way to stick up for yourself, Chief!

Now, Lkdog chill, he’s no Dom. It appears Dom has made you quite cranky nowadays. 😂

I don't doubt that he'll come here at all, but saying 'welcome!' because we got the equivalent of a crystal ball prediction is odd IMO.  At least let him commit, even if it's a lock.

The only thing "odd" on here is how much WE ALL place value to our comments/wishes/dreams/anguish/etc.....at the end of the day....it's a fans message board, that more than likely has ZERO affects on recruits/current players/past players.

Yet somehow we continue with our fandom, our predictions, and so forth....I will continue, as "odd" has it may seem, but RAYJ committing to us 100% is about as much a lock, as Groce and Weber leaving us worst than they found it.

Actually there are over 1400 in the portal. You should know that if you check it daily.

I am not at all concerned we will not have a competitive roster come November and be capable of making the tourney.

Good to know on the actual count, I do check, I do not count.... ;D, in more ways than one. I think we will be competitive as well, I already stated that with my prediction which I will gladly stand behind unlike others. How competitive that is the Mil$?. With either Hawk/TSJ back, then I would think we should be considered one of the favorites. Indiana is loading up, MSU will always be there, and Rutgers should be good again. That said, the B1G overall will be more level next year, and we will have a tougher schedule as well.

We will make the tourney, a 3 seed in the B1G tourney I would think regardless of players, and a 6 seed in the dance or better.

Maybe so.  But he has not committed to us, so welcoming him is weird as hell.  I mean you do you, but welcoming a kid who hasn't committed is weird.

Kind of hard to be that specific without knowing the roster, nor the other teams rosters we play, and I think you predicted 13-7 in the BIG already also.
Good luck.
