courtside Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 For what it's worth, Penny has recruited several players where he either offered or arrived very late into that player's recruitment. His track record of landing those players has not been strong. Both he and U of Memphis have been positively received in these situations, and they have become finalists with many, but ultimately not landing the player much of the time. It has definitely been a pattern where U of Memphis has seemingly come out of nowhere late or later in some recruitments. They have actually had much better success when they have spent more time recruiting a player. I wouldn't read too much into the Memphis offer other than they are a legit candidate, same as SLU.

That's when the crystal ball prognosticators lean Illini to generate traffic before snatching the football away. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when the crystal ball prognosticators lean Illini to generate traffic before snatching the football away. I thought about that after I posted lol. But looking at IllinoisLoyalty, there’s at least a few posters who admit the Billikens are clear frontrunners. I haven’t seen anything on Nesbitt’s Twitter yet. I don’t know his Instagram.

Minnot wants to be a point forward, but most project him as a stretch big. Nesbitt is a real point forward, just a bit undersized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
