James: “It went amazing. The staff , the facilities, the development plan. It’s everything you could want.”

UTSA WR Franklin is said to be setting up a visit to Illinois. That would be a huge get!

Illinois is turning up the heat on this recruitment.

I’m out sick. Nothing serious but I’m a little limited in what I can do for a couple days. FYI.

Russian guard Egor Demin is the primary focus right now. I think other schools will begin to pop up as possible destinations for him, but Illinois is working it very hard. Sounds like Demin may prefer to play college ball rather than stay in the Real Madrid system.

There are backup plans to Demin should that fall through. There are a few names from the transfer portal, players withdrawing from the NBA draft, etc.

Former Samford and Chicago State guard Wesley Cardet Jr. signed a national letter of intent with Providence and is also an early entry candidate. He hasn't yet enrolled at Providence. If he wants to open things up, he would need to decide in the next few days.

Florida State wing Jamir Watkins is another early entry in the Draft and he also entered the transfer portal at the deadline. He'll have a ton of interest should he withdraw from the draft and return to college basketball.

15.6 ppg and 6.0 rpg this year for Seminoles and shot 34.4% from three. He was invited to the NBA Draft Combine May 12-19 and has until May 29 to withdraw and retain his college eligibility.

We have previously mentioned Chaz Lanier (North Florida), Arthur Kaluma (Kansas State) and Wooga Poplar (Miami) as wings available in the portal. They are all also going through the draft process.

Another possible to name to track is Miles Kelly from Georgia Teach. He hit the portal near the deadline and also entered the NBA Draft after averaging 13.9 ppg and 5.5 rpg for the Ramblin' Wreck.

Thx

Back into the B1G with the Washington Huskies. We will get to see him play.

Was one of the prized recruits in the class of 2024.

Sounds like Croatian big man Tomislav Ivisic may be close to a done deal. Stand by…

Buffalos go down 56-14 to Washington State. They’ve managed to lose five straight in dropping to 4-7 on the year. They finish the season at #16 Utah and it looks like LOTS of creaning will be needed.

Wonder if Aflac will photoshop him out of their commercials now.

Doug, any word on transfer targets? I see kids are committing quickly to other programs.
