2014 Recruiting Thread

Alexander, http://Scout.com 's No. 5 player, faked the Illinois hat and picked up the Kansas hat.

Rough day for the breads. 

Snider hurt because he was committed.  No one who didn't have their head up their ass thought Cliff was going to Illinois.  Still what a fuckface if the hat thing is true.  I'll tuck my shirt right down into my underpants on that.

I didn't see it, but I don't think Daniels would lie about it. Definitely a low blow.

I was watching it on ESPNU, can confirm the hat thing .

Also can confirm. I saw him reach for Illinois, then smiled and turned around. Looked back at the TV. Said he was committed to Kansas, and he was wearing the KU hat. I was like, "WTF?"

Not trying to rub salt in the wounds, Bread, but this is pretty hilarious.

15 players out of what(30 teams x 14 players/team approx = )420 NBA players weren't rated as top 150 recruits.

 

Others that didn't make the top 150.

Doesn't seem to be an exact science? 

Dom was amazing you eff. Also Nick could of been good here.

Yeah what a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). Dom was as JYC as they came. Stud boss. Just because he transferred doesn't mean he was a bust.

Wow, relax peeps.  You guys are angry elves.  I was not suggesting that Dom was awful, I was suggesting that he was a 150 guy that didn't make it to the NBA.  In addition, there were some quality non-150 guys that did great things for our program.  I never suggested that our program should be okay with getting kids outside of the 150.  I only used our team as an example since this was a KSU board.  The overall point was that rivals 150 really is not a good measuring stick for NBA success.  The list was merely a small sample size to illustrate its not an exact science. 

If you need a hug, Tyler Hughes is available.   

None of the players not in the 150 that you mentioned made the NBA.

Not sure how they help your NBA argument.

Bread, is this worse than Eric Gordon de-committing?

We all know Self has got the cheating thing down, but why has it panned out so well these last two classes?  I mean, has he found another Doug Compton that can double up on the cheating and stuff?  This has to be a direct result of his kid and Manning being on the team, right?

This is the only reason I am happy we have that rich Dallas kid walking on next year.

Simple, with all the hoopla surrounding Wiggins, Adidas sees a hot property and are thusly pumping capital into it. It's a smart investment.

That actually makes me not mad that he did it anymore.  Those poor bros tho. 

[CNS]

If only we could all be ADIDAS schools.

No.  We lost a top five committed kid and we still had oscar leading us to our most losses in a single season.  That was a very dark time for me as a basketball fan.

Yes, the are enjoying the fruits of reupping with Adidas.

We should have hired him instead of oscar.

I mean, yeah. It's stupid to hire and X and O guy over a recruiter because if the recruiter doesn't pan out, hey, how appealing of a job for the next guy.

[Mr Bread]

Illinois hasn't pulled elite Chicago public league kids since the late 1980s.  So like way before I gave a eff about Illinois basketball.  Not oscar's fault obvs.  He did set it back from where Self had it headed tho.  Really also not his fault.  It was a shitty hire.  We got what we signed up for.  A derpy eff that couldn't recruit and that people liked to mock us for.

Yes would have been a great hire. 

[CNS]

Yeah, if he doesn't work out, we just took a shot on a guy that wasn't ready yet...on to the next guy.

I don't ever recall suggesting the non-150 guys were NBA guys.  I believe I said "there were some quality non-150 guys that did great things for our program" to help illustrate that the 150 was not an exact science.  So in response to you statement, it didn't. 

Tyler's schedule is still wide open if you need him.

those poor illini'rs

[Mr Bread]

those poor illini'rs

I'm glad you made it in here.  I was worried about you.  I know there isn't a single oskeewowwower out there that had more invested in this 2014 Illini hoops class.  It's not going to be like this always Dlew, it just won't I promise. 

[DQ12]

i watched "the decision" live with my bros (at Crane Alley in Urbana!).  they weren't as guarded as i was.  they went a little nuts when he made the reach for that signature I hat.  i knew better though - calloused from my years of recruiting misses from the football cats.

anyways.  i guess the only thing we can do now is binge.
