Not only did he Re-tweet, but his tweet included a heart in Billiken blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchise_08 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Has it really been since 2013 that Illini made the tournament...pathetic. Has anyone done less with talent than them? TJHawk likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 The Illini fanbase has had 6 years of mediocre basketball prior to last year to get humble. They will never learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I don’t care obviously, but I was kind of surprised how little attention Illinois basketball received locally this past winter. They were playing really well. A Billiken/Illini game as the varsity matchup with Mizzou/SIU as the junior varsity matchup would be fun this winter.

I think everyone will like it... https://247sports.com/Player/Jordan-Nesbitt-46057260/ There’s a fairly consistent pattern for local top 150 guys we land: (1) staff builds a strong relationship early; (2) local insiders, including a few on this board, begin publicizing the real possibility of the player choosing SLU; (3) national recruiting analysts join in to say SLU has a real chance; (4) player commits to SLU a few weeks later. I like where this is headed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several factors at least from a hoophead STL loves Bruce Weber and K St. Still carrying an Illini grudge Illini have had just 3 STL recruits since 09-10 Griffey, Hill, and Smith. Griffey way underachieved, Hill was decent on bad teams and Smith left after a year. Growing bias against Illini locally. They don't recruit STL, when they do they do wrong by the players, and they don't have any national cachet anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilliesBy40 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Brian Snow is very selective in making predictions, and generally only makes them when he’s certain on the outcome. He is 250 for 265 all time on crystal ball predictions. NextYearBill and majerus mojo like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to send a screenshot, but I’m at my attachment limit. Basically said Ford has done a fantastic job of recruiting Nesbitt and Nesbitt is a kid who wants to stay close to home. “Numerous sources” have told Snow that SLU is the clear leader and he has “high confidence” that Nesbitt will choose SLU. kshoe, TheChosenOne, Zink and 9 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
