Jasper Johnson Visiting Illini | TSJ Getting Jersey Raised | Painter Throwing Recruit Under the Bus?

While Illini nation waits to hear where Will Riley will choose to commit on Sunday, we discuss another 5 star who will be visiting Champaign on Monday. What kind of player is Jasper Johnson and how would his game fit on the Illini?
Also, it's fun Friday with Kent from @CasualBigTen and we have random conversations about TSJ getting his jersey raised into the rafters and also our thoughts on Matt Painter being so open about how things went down with Kanon Catchings.

Love it! How did you find us? Thank you for tuning in & let me know what you want to see in the future!

[@arlengarippo2211]

⁠@@LockedOnIllini I listen to Locked on Cubs and Sleepers pretty regularly so I think it was just a CZcams algorithm thing. No major suggestions maybe big updates on other big ten teams or former illini if its a slower news day for the current team

[@drewsmith9365]

Jasper reminds me of a young Jamal Murray. Good video.

[@LockedOnIllini]

I like it, good call!

[@annepryor9169]

My understanding is that Will Riley is not developed enough to start next year. Maybe he shouldn’t reclassify and play college ball next year, but continue to work on his body for another year.

[@user-wr8ws3sj6g]

This is very factually wrong, he didn’t come here to develop he came he to start along with good money. He could of developed anywhere…. Illinois just has the right pieces
