Of course as the fall signing season progresses and others sign with other schools then we could drop but the same would be true if we sign other good players we would go up.

Larry Hughes class was top 10. Pretty sure the clangs, highmark, Winfield class was top 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVBilliken Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Aways look at average rating of prospects as a better indication of the quality of the class. SLU's 94.26 average surely puts them top 25. Looking at quality, not quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Nojel Eastern reportedly visited DePaul this weekend. If true, that's his fifth official visit. The other four were Seton Hall, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Purdue. No indication yet which it will be. Iowa State was out to see Raynere Thornton, who continues to rack up double-doubles in the early going for Gordon State College. As mentioned above, he won't be signing until the spring, per his coach. He has 21 D-I offers, but most are from smaller conferences. His biggest offers are SLU, DePaul, Georgia, and South Carolina.

ACE Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Below are the times of the official signings for 2017 Illinois prospects. Goodwin is one of the first of the day planned. Interesting that Tillmon is one of the few to have nothing planned yet. Hmm... so I guess that means he is poised to switch and we can go ahead cue up Pitbull? https://www.prephoops.com/2016/11/national-signing-day-preview-2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happened to check the Illini Boards and they are paranoid. I've just delivered the briefca$e to my guy, so we should hear something shortly.

Clock_Tower Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ok, I did my part. First, a check to Steve to help cover the costs of this Board. Second, a check to briefcase fund to help cover the ongoing costs of recruiting. Am broke until next pay day. Paystubs!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierPal Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I wonder if Letters Of Intent are still faxed to the school, of if they are scanned and emailed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I'm thinking its time to get serious about Tillmon at this point. A friend of mine who follows Illini close says, "id be surprised if he doesn't pick SLU at this point, he knows the speculation... if he wanted to end it he would" You're talking about the most amazing program turnaround in the history of college basketball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinifan24 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 How can you guys not see that there is something fishy and very much illegal going on with Ford and SLU? It's not like these kids think he's a great coach, he just got fired from a power 5 school for being a terrible coach. Had one of the best PG's in the nation and couldn't do anything. Your boosters must have some pretty deep pockets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
