@Buckeye Fever man how is Illinois ranked 5 and how did they get all that talent
Ayo was a key recruit out of Chicago. In other years, Illinois would have lost him to a Kansas or Villanova type program. He and Kofi tested the NBA waters but decided to return.

After the 2005 season, they had miss after miss in recruiting. They didnt capitalize on that season at all.

College hoops is so damn watered down nowadays, if you get key players to return instead of going to the NBA, you can go far in March

This for sure man watching 7 footers just bow down to smaller defenders is ridiculous zero post game out here. That’s why Luka Garza is putting on clinics

Players don’t / can’t do a simple one or two dribble pull up

the defense hasn’t been bad though

He is putting on a clinic man the post game is non existent in college his getting simple position and just powering up but he does have. Good touch around the rim and can shoot the 3 but a shytty athlete looks like he couldn’t handle players that can keep up with him and size and height

ridiculously great class and he's a pretty flawed prospect IMO

2021 2nd Round - NBA Draft Room If dudes like Ayo and Landers Nolley are just middle 2nd rounders to me, Luka definitely should be late 2nd. Looking at some of those bubble names, dudes like Remy Martin, Kofi Cockburn (!!), and Ayayi are all names I believe would've been drafted last draft easily.

I actually don't know why the hell Luka didn't declare last year, now that I think about it :deadmanny:
I was thinking Brook as a NBA comparison, but he doesn't have half the rim protection. I just saw Domantas as a possible comparison, but hell I feel like he's more fluid too. I also don't know if that type is worth drafting at 22 years old :ld:

I wanna see Iowa make a deep run. I like watching teams that got good players who stay and become dominant.
