Tough to say where they're at in college because they haven't been playing.  Djimde was a late signee by oscar in antication of Leonard leaving early the next year.  He has no skill or athleticism and isn't tall enough to be a true center.  Complete miss.

Langford is a tweener 3-4 guy that is very athletic, but appears to not be able to shoot at all.  I'm assuming that's why Groce passed on him and also why he wouldn't fit with the purple cats.  He'd fill the Sexy Shane role except he can't knock down shots.

Shaw was the most highly regarded out of high school as has been pointed out.  The story with him is that he dropped dramatically over the course of his high school career.  His freshman year he was top 5  nationally and steadily fell off as he didn't continue developing his game and everyone else did (relatively speaking).  He could be a serviceable starter for a high major at the 4.  He hasn't shown much of a shooting touch, but he has shown some impressive passing instincts.  He has short arms for his size, which hurts him on the boards and defensively.  Decent athletically.

Can't imagine oscar would want any of them.       
My prescience is fully engorged.  It throbs with righteous accuracy.  I am sated.

Mike Shaw off the board to the Bradley Braves.  Fun fact: Bradley head coach Geno Ford is the brother of Illinois Fighting Breads assistant coach Dustin Ford.

Myke Henry transferring.  He, like the other three, is a sophomore Brucecruit.  He is the most talented of the four and has played the most.  He is basically another Shane.  Identical size and skill set.  Myke is actually a very good offensive rebounder though.  Sneaky in that regard.  Myke is also quite adorable.  Myke's younger brother was shot and killed his senior year of high school and he and oscar really bonded during that time period with oscar acting as sort of a father figure for him.  Point being, they were at one time very close.  There were rumors however that he was thinking about transferring after first semester of his freshman year.  The speculation regarding his transfer now is that he wants to play the 3, not the 4 (he doesn't have the ball-handling to do that though) and also that Groce has been regularly recruiting over him (5th-year transfer stretch 4 in Jon Ekey next year; Darius Paul stretch 4 transfer for the year after; two five star 2014 recruits in Leron Black and Cliff Alexander that Groce is all over who would also play some at the 4 if either end up at Illinois).

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Myke has a great smile and there's a sleepiness to his demeanor that really ups his adorability.  He's incredibily easy going and laid back, so that when he does show emotion it can't not be adorable.  Myke fired up on the court---->Bread: :surprised: :excited::emawkid:

For the record, I am sad to see him go.  It is a loss for the Breads, particularly next season.

I'd bet puni's left nut there will be zero restrictions.  Myke is a great kid who is also from the CPL.  No way Groce fucks with him.  Nothing to gain and a lot to lose.

Ooh, good call.  I'm sure Jerrance will be in touch with him.  Before he committed to Illinois, Baylor was making a big push for him as well.  Maybe Drew wins in round two.  He can shove it right in sys' fat face.
