Jordan Goodwin to St Louis
- Thread starter HeRKeYHoPeFuL
- Start date
Just about to post the same thing. Pretty sure we backed off Goodwin when Dailey committed.
Wouldn't mind having Goodwin on the football team though. Guy's an athletic freak
im sure we would have heard all about it from our ILL NOISE visitors.
Travis Ford hired one of the main coaches from the St.Louis Eagles AAU program after he got hired. Look for more kids to follow in Jordan's footsteps.
Corey Tate who was the 17U St. Louis Eagles EYBL head coach. He was also a juco head coach at mineral area. He's a recruiting guy. Ford choose a good one
National signing day isn't until Feb and considering the caliber of player that Goodwin is if he ends up at SLU I'll be shocked.
Signing day for basketball is in November. I won't be. People getting hired brings in recruits all the time.
Smart career and personal move by Tate..His wife and kids were living in St Louis while he was coaching at Mizzu(his Alma Mater)for the previous 14-15 months... Mizzu is absolutely horrid..With a new AD on board, I doubt Kim Anderson lasts more than this upcoming season. Tate now has a 2 year guaranteed deal working with a new HC where he has connections and is able to be with his wife and kids.
At least he didn't end up at MSU or Northwestern.
I know Bob is concerned but I think Illinois will be alright: https://www.google.com/amp/www.chic...frazier-20160821-story,amp.html?client=safari
Yes, you have another very promising class. "If if's and but's were candy and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas.", Don Meredith, modernized from an old proverb, "If if's and and's were pots and pans there would be no work for tinkers hands.", 19th century, unattributed.
Just remember, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and you Illini have been excited for several years now without much result.
Any narrative about the last few years of Illinois basketball that omits key injuries is an inaccurate and self-serving one. In point of fact, not many Illini fans have been excited for the past few years for that very reason (injuries).
Recruiting rankings indeed have the potential to be fools gold. Still... I'd rather have high ones than low. The teams that are usually in the top 20 are generally the same teams winning conference titles and making deep tourney runs.
and failing to mention suspensions by your players is also inaccurate & self-serving...or maybe that doesn't count?..

Is Darius Paul ever going to get a third chance? It's not fair if Leron Black gets to stay on the team after pulling a knife on a bouncer!!!
All I am saying........is give Paul (another) chance!!!!!

Suspensions aren't legitimate excuses for failing to perform up to expectations. They are self-inflicted handicaps based on poor decisions either by the coaching staff or the player or both. Additionally, the suspension of players really didn't impact the results nearly as much as injuries did.
The original poster tried to sell the narrative that Illinois has recruited good classes before only to have them under perform because of coaching or overrating of players etc. This is an incomplete narrative (at best) and you know it.
The last time Illinois stacked up a few top 20 classes in a row, they had a pretty good run. I'm hoping we've turned a corner w/r/t recruiting but time will tell.
Any other 4 stars related to Fran?
Excuse me, but the original poster just mentioned that Goodwin committed to St. Louis. What I think is funny is Bob mentioned had Goodwin committed to the Illini we'd have heard from Illini fans. And you came back with a link regarding Frazier!
And you include comments about Fran and 4* relations. The fact remains, like clockwork whenever the Illini get good news on the recruiting front it's off to Hawkeye Report! Yet excuses being what they are, just excuses, your results haven't lived up to your hype. And STACKING top 20 classes? So Nunn and Paul are coming back!?!? Seems to me you aren't stacking anything but a history of turmoil and player turnover.
