I'm with you Chico. We also have much higher academic standards so there is a difference in the two schools so I'd suspect some of those guys that ended up north were academically challenged. At BU you are expected to do well in academics and the administration to JL make it a priority."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

Here is how far under the radar Johnny Hill was, and how far his stock has risen-
The Sun Times, which does as good a job as anyone evaluating and ranking the high school players in Illinois, especially the Chicago area, did not even have Johnny Hill ranked in the Top 50 Illinois kids for 2011 in this ranking done in May, 2009-
Then in September, 2009 he was #39-
Then he was down to #47 in January, 2010-
And now in their most recent rankings, done April 13, 2010 (and updated 5/3/10), Johnny Hill jumped all the way to #16 in Illinois-

chicagohoops have him #27 on their newly updated rankings..
Rivals ranks the Illinois kids in Class of 2011, and Hill is not among the Top 40
scout.com has 60 kids ranked in Illinois and Hill is not among themLast edited by tornado; 06-28-2010, 10:15 AM.Comment

From everything that many of us on the board have heard, BU didn't offer and wasn't planning to. Please don't turn this into a "he chose ISU over Bradley" because that is not accurate. Same with Threloff...BU had STOPPED actively recruiting him, so it is not accurate to say he chose ISU over Bradley.
We need to get over ourselves and not compare everything with ISU. I detest ISU just like everyone else and after living in Peoria and working in Normal (3 blocks from the ISU campus), I still do not understand why anyone would choose ISU over Bradley.
However, if a kid chooses ISU, I think it is our responsibility as their main rival to hope the new recruit can help to keep them competitive. BU-ISU games like the ones we have played in Carver the past 2 years were a whole heck of a lot more fun than when ISU went through their 10 year stretch of not being competitive.#DunkOnYouComment

Nacho -- why come over to BradleyFans and argue...
almost every news item or new commit or signee at ISU is being discussed here first - sometimes for days here first before being mentioned on RBF..
This has got to be the best source for ISU news there is......
so just take what you want and let the rest go.........Comment

Not arguing... just point out a fact... and I thought all were welcomed to discuss any and all things MVC on the greatest message board ever? I am sure everyone appreciates the breaking news regarding all schools, even ISU!Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

Nacho - you are being totally silly.....and I am not sure even if you are pointing out "fact" then it is totally irrelevant fact...Originally posted by Nacho View Post

the thread is about Johnny Hill, and in this post, PTownHawkeye says this
"From everything that many of us on the board have heard, BU didn't offer and

---HE'S TALKING ABOUT JOHNNY HILL
Then you argue with him saying this...
"This entire thread and every linked article would disagree"..and then you give this link...
which is about a totally different player, Jordan Threloff...it has nothing to do whatsoever with Johnny Hill...
...sorry, but I cannot keep up with the silliness here and I am resigning from this "argument"...Comment

Well no kidding??? I was obviously talking about Threloff since I BOLDED THE SENTENCE IN HIS POST TALKING ABOUT HIM WHEN I QUOTED IT. Not sure how I coulda made it more clear who I was talking about. I didn't know a thread about one player in no way shape or form could not mention anything about another player, even though I wasn't the one to bring it up. I simply posted a link to a thread ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD with numerous links about BU and them offering Threloff. Those are facts- sorry but they are... and this "silliness" is even a little much for you sir!Originally posted by tornado View PostNacho - you are being totally silly.....and I am not sure even if you are pointing out "fact" then it is totally irrelevant fact...

so, again....one last time...
why is the claim that Threloff was offered by BU even relevant to your argument that Hill was offered by BU?
and PTH clearly said BU had "STOPPED RECRUITING THRELOFF" which it's obvious that he knows we offered, that why he says "STOPPED"...
SO YOU KEEP ARGUING POINTS THAT ARE IN OBVIOUS AGREEMENT WITH YOU ALREADY...Comment
