(2015) SG Jalen Coleman to Illinois

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,811]

8bucks.

 

yes that is accurate.  They have a point system to award average days your pick is correct in advance of announcement.  But from a % standpoint it is right or wrong.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Any idea how the math works on that. For example if you pick Hawaii first and then pick UK a day before a kid announces are you 100% accurate?

Last year his average days correct was 87.6 and this year 26.96

Is Coleman visiting UofI this weekend? Lot of Illinois picks popping up today.

I like Coleman but I am seeing "no IU" as possible good news that things look good for us with Shake!

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

What's going on here? Is there some legit UofI potential?

Recruiting has picked up for Illinois in the past couple years. Groce has some momentum.

Big get for Groce and the Illini. They're going to fly under the radar this year and have a very talented team again next year

Well, this time it is Illinois.

 

Enjoy your time in Champaign, Jalen!

Wrong Bloomington !

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,811]

Interest clearly wasn't mutual anyway.  Either from his side or ours.  Who really knows.  We don't NEED guards right now anyway. 

 

PLUS, I really like Shake, THE PERSON! 

 

Hope he chooses IU!

[Dunn Woods 92]

Yeah who needs the best guards from the state of IN?

Yeah who needs the best guards from the state of IN?

You mean like Blackmon?

It baffles me that grown adults can't understand that a kid just might not want to go to IU.

@JeffRabjohns: 2015 guard Jalen Colmena will be the first Indiana HS player to play at Illinois in 30 years, per @WernerESPNCU

Alright, Jalen made the first step in replicating Eric Gordon. Time for step two!

It baffles me that grown adults can't understand that a kid just might not want to go to IU.

I think it is relatively few that can't understand but many more that will simply take the opportunity to promote an agenda. 

 

Kind of along the lines of those that also "can't understand" that not every talented high school player in Indiana is a fit for IU or that some players from elsewhere are better fits.
