I have no idea if Jacobs will stick with KU. If he does decommit and end up at IL then hoo boy.

Didn't realize he is only 16 y.o.

Correct, Lidell plays for Bradley Beal Elite. The ones Illinois should expect to commit are Okoro and Miller. If Jacobs flips also I would have to say that it may have been worth it haha
Ed was a beast on some very good Iowa teams. He was their enforcer. Big and strong.
Miller might come down to IL/KU and the choice could indicate who is running the recruitment. This is just from quickly reading stuff. Apparently KU assistant Jerrance Howard went to school with Miller's mom. Would it surprise anyone now if KU and ILL are the final two?
Looking into it more, hard to say if Jacobs would flip. KU has got a few Mac Irvin kids before including currently on the roster Charlie Moore though he is a transfer.
People needed evidence. Prohm stepped and proved his game to the haters.
Can coach and recruit. Total package.
we've had plenty of times of being unlucky in recruiting, why can't people just enjoy the fact we got lucky this time!
THT plays well for us, our program does well, and we get a potential simeon pipeline? How cool would that be....

Currently enjoying the **** out of it! Watching THT stuff on youtube tonight.
I think Robinson should probably get the lions share credit for this one though.... Take nothing away from the work Prohm has done though. Great recruiting!
Obviously going in to that area requires a ton of ground work establishing relationships. It's paid off in a huge way this year.

OK, now you are showing your age. Today's kids don't know what a phone booth is.

Another good article

Georges...? "has a body that will get so much stronger. He is long and versatile as a 6-5 wing, but he’s also an unselfish player whose most underrated quality is his passing. This is a skilled player who can dribble, pass and shoot."
Deonte...? "is the late-blooming, uber-athletic, rim-rattling 4-man who this summer showcased an added weapon in his offensive arsenal: shooting the three-pointer. Throw in a rapid rise in confidence and summer turned into an eye-opening experience for even those (myself included) who had seen a lot of him over the past 10 months."
Jameel...? "an agile 6-10 big man who is just beginning to scratch the surface. There may be some time before he is ready to impact at a high level due to his lack of strength and still growing game, but the upside, with his size, coordination, ability to run the floor and emerging skill, is enormous."
A good article with great comments on the recruits and Prohm, but I think they’re overselling the “stealing” factor. Kids have been leaving Illinois for decades. Why wouldn’t three top Midwest kids go to Iowa State? We’re definitely one of the top programs in the area. We’ve had great success with highly ranked kids from WI, Michigan, and Minnesota. It’s about time we start getting some from Illinois, Missouri, etc.
Anyhow, it’s a great class. As a Cyclone fan in Chicago I’m excited to see guys. Add Lard, Wigginton, and Lewis and it’s as good of core as we’ve had.
