And we should care about this guy because?

We were one of the first to offer him, and actually might have been the first. His recruitment has been fairly quiet until recently. But yeah, he reclassified to 2019 a year ago.

Whoa. That new Illini logo is garbage.

Looks like they hired the same firm that redid our logo.  Pretty terrible, change the color scheme to yellow and black and it is just like purdue's.

If the billikens aren't in the running/pursuing couldn't care less.

Well if the kid cared enough to include the Billiken in his photo, I would guess that we are still in the running. So that's why I shared it.

SLU doesn't even show up on Leech's interest list. I would be happy with #s 74; 84 and 93 on that list.

This means that the only guys we've offered who aren't on the list are Michael Christmas, Yuri Collins, Joe Girard, Terrence Hargrove, Anderson Mirambeaux, Quinn Richey, Richard Springs, and Joe Toussaint. It's also worth noting that this list is only at 125 players for now, and it's not unreasonable to think a couple of those guys could be in the 125-150 range.

Al-Amir Dawes, on the interest list, is 111th.

It was interesting to see yesterday that in the 2018 list, most of our offers moved down from the previous rankings but in 2019, most of them moved up or were on it for the first time.

McKinney is at his best when he is in attack mode. Collins is great at delivering the ball to guys when they are in motion. They play well together and would cause nightmares for opponents in the A10.

I have watched McKinney twice today (parts of their first two games) and have no idea what to think of him with regards to whether I think he is overrated or not. His shot is absolutely broke, but when he attacks off of the dribble I have not seen anyone capable of keeping him out of the lane. Kid is dynamic off of the bounce, but definitely not a shooter. In the first game that happened in the 2nd half when he took over as the lead guard playing with Caleb Love as the 2 (he had a big game). He is also an active defender and rebounder for a guard with some length. Unfortunately he is a little weak, so he doesn't finish at a high percentage attacking the rim (gets to the line and creates for his teammates though), but he is nice off of the dribble and attacking. With a jump shot and some strength he would be big time.

Collins had a rough first game today, but looked better this afternoon. I like his game and also understand this setting may not be ideal for a floor general type point guard playing without his stud big man (Liddell who is up with the 17s).

Anyone know anything about Chris Payton? I had not seen him play before, but has looked like a nice player today making a lot of energy plays on both ends. I saw the stats and must have caught his good moments (small sample sizes ha).
