I've been told that Locure isn't any good due to his lack of offers. Coaches are always correct and guys like me are just idiots.

I don't think talent is the issue with college coaches not offering him. Lots of reasons why great high school players don't get offers. grades, behavior or some combination of the 2.

Him having poor behavior is way overblown. From all accounts, he's had stellar behavior this year on & off the court. Sometimes, coaches don't know their heads from their asses.

What IS the deal with this kid? Everything I have seen--posted by by you, of course--shows him to be an absolute stud. WTF is Fran all but ignoring him?

24/7 has him listed at 5'10" 170.

I agree it might be overblown, but I think Fran is even more conservative with behavior issues than Kirk. I can't remember him ever offering anyone who was at any point known for a bad attitude or getting in trouble as a kid. He wants to avoid that possibility at all costs.
Although after this season I don't know if he could even recruit Terrell Owens.

Some dude named Ulis was 5-8 160, he turned OK.

Fran is not going to bring anybody in who may take his kid's spot.

If we have another shit year like this past one, me thinks Fran won’t have to worry about his kids spot at the U of I.

Nor am I. "Doing it the right way" doesn't seem to include firing a head coach while his son is on the roster. Like it or not, we've got Fran through 2022. Win or lose. Unless another AD is hired.

Fran won't offer Locure. Even though he should.

That is a scary thought. The hole may be to big to dig out of

I forgot about that guy. Hubbard immediately burned Fran and got the boot, though.

I forgot about Hubbard too and had to look him up. Looks like he ended up at Morgan State for 2 years averaging around 11 points and 7 rebounds. Just brutally awful 3 point and free throw percentages.

Probably why he's so cautious, I guess.

You don't tend to see that many guys Ulis' or Locure's size in P-6 conferences, more in mid-majors. I get though that Ulis did OK and so could TL.
