bleujay Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Was NU ever on the short list? Just wondering, CU was in his "last" one and if you haven't been keeping up with his recruiting there were a lot of coaching staffs that stopped recruiting him during/after the July evaluation period, including CU's, and it wouldn't surprise me if Miles had done the same, especially considering you already have a player committed in the same class with a very similar skillset jdostal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg had been on him for quite some time - and we were looking forward to getting a commit from him - but then all of a sudden he announced he was going to prep school and we were no longer in pursuit. I think a lot of coaches got scared off by the level of competition he was playing during his junior year, and the prep environment will allow him to prove that he can hang with the big boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Peterson Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Or else he'll prove he can't hang with the big boys. Apparently no one wants to argue with the point that Alec Brennan looks better than Illikainen in their respective highlight vids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hhcmatt Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think I'd rather see him play for Wisconsin than Minny or Iowa Probably a good choice not to go play for Nike U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskerpapa Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 We will see how Jacobson matches up against this kid for the next four years...I will choose to believe that Michael will bet better and better while this kid has reached his potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Gopher Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I think I'd rather see him play for Wisconsin than Minny or Iowa Probably a good choice not to go play for Nike U. I would have liked to see him play for anyone but the sticking Badgers. Minnesota got a commitment from a big man and filled all their open spots before AI would make a decision.

And the fact that he isn't playing much on this Wisconsin team is pretty amazing, because the Badger team I saw last night didn't look very talented compared to teams of the past.

hhcmatt Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 An observation from Buckyville Alex Ilikainen has basically taken on the old Tim Jarmusz philosophy. If I never do anything wrong they can't take me out, so I will just never look to do anything other than keep myself away from the action. Watching UW trying to run a pick-and-pop with Alex is just painful because he's open every time and he never even looks at the rim. He's gone from "indecisive" to "decisively passive"... and in all honesty, given the current state of our power forwards, it's probably a slight improvement. Again, he's providing nothing other than allowing seconds to tick off the clock while Ethan tries to get some rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
