I’m basing the numbers off of @ReegsShannon’s sheet. I think they’ve been reaching out but I don’t remember them landing anyone yet

Yeah I did a sweep the other day of news for each team and I think they’ve landed one 2022 freshman and nothing else

So the B1G is losing a ton of talent and its collective response has been “yah i dk” with all of its scholarships? Still early I guess but the portal deadline is May 1? So not THAT early.
Is this assuming all the players in the draft come back? IE if Illinois has both players in the draft stay in the draft, then they have up to 3 scholarships available?
Your last sentence is correct
Gene Smith is basically the GM of the football and basketball teams

Colorado State?
That’s probably 3 or 4 open scholarships for Illinois now. Spring cleaning in Champaign
They need a C and a wing

there goes my fantasy of BBV starting at the 5 for them
Trying to decide whether I’d rather MSU get Parrish or lose out on him to a mid major

WVU is the other team in the recruitment. They recently got a commitment from a friend of his Jimmy Bell, and Micah was on that visit as well. I don’t know the thoughts on CSU, tbh
had precisely the same thought. Would I rather Izzo land a Horizon League fourth option and call it a day? or roll the dice that he whiffs, finds nobody else and simply runs with 9 scholarships?
the risk is that Parrish spurns them but they luck into a better wing

I love that Torvik projects Melendez at a 128 ORTG on 22 USG. It’s so funny to me. I’m not sure what’s funniest, that a guy with a 128 ORTG has basically equal usage to Coleman Hawkins or that he plays as much as Ty Rodgers
