2010 Illinois Mr. Basketball

[SaintLouBrave22]

If Bill Cole and Nick Smith got together and reproduced, Nick would give birth to Myers Leonard. Hot headed, 7 foot tall, no post game(its easy to get your points over the 6-3 guys in class A southern illinois), lanky, and will get eaten alive by D1 competition.

Agreed!


And after watching the State Championship game, I recall that I haven't seen anyone complain that much about every single call since Jim Edmonds was a Cardinal...

Who is Illinois' Mrs. Basketball?

It's Ms. Basketball, since most of them aren't married yet.

@ BU Rick:

If Demetri Stays....Illinois could be scary good! I was thinking no worse than top 15....

Also if Richmond apparently can't score outside 5 feet maybe that is a good thing! Illinois needs people to be at the rim and get the the FT line.

I believe Demetri will see how much potential the Illini have with him there next year.

Overall...the Illini should be good for the next few years

You are completely wrong. Leonard has an incredibly strong body for a seven-foot kid. He's far stronger than Bill Cole or even Tisdale. Didn't show a ton of offense, but that can be developed. Leonard has huge physical assets and could easily be a dominant Big Ten center before his career is over.
