Who said it had nothing to with admissions?
One summer class is all it took to get in… So he must not want to be there too badly, hell even Mayer had to take a class last summer to get in to Illinois

I think it had more to do with not wanting to be at Michigan very badly.

Did admissions say he could never take the test again, or did he decide to not take it? Bet Juwan didn’t think he’d give up after the first try.
If Illinois missed on Mayer because he has to take a summer class, I don’t think you’d would've said it was an admissions issue.
Again, biggest issue is the kid didn’t want to play for your declining program.
This is some serious delusion. More like Illinois just drops any and all academic requirements for athletes because they’re so desperate for any semblance of success in sports. I don’t blame them either. 30 years without even so much as a sweet 16 appearance? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Perrin failed that test in August and passed in Late October.
Plenty of time. If he wanted to join in the shit show that is Michigan basketball at the moment🤡
He prolly just wasn’t interested in playing for an irrelevant program that never develops any nba talent more than anything. You can go loose in the first round of the tournament at any number of places. It isn’t unique to Illinois
Again, more likely that Illinois just waived the requirement rather than he took the test again and just magically got a high enough score to qualify. The academic requirements at Illinois aren’t especially high anyway. For athletes they’re probably nonexistent.
What are you talking about?
You had 2 first round picks and still couldn’t make the tourney.
Guess that’s not appealing to some kids, who would’ve thought
Yeah Michigan at least puts people in the nba. Illinois doesn’t win tournament games or put people in the nba. Aside from the nil money they do desperately throw at athletes, what is even the point of committing to Illinois?
We have plenty of kids that don’t make the cut.
Manny Bates was supposed to be our starting center last year, but couldn’t get in.
We just don’t cry about it a year later like you do with Shannon (even though he was always coming to Illinois, you losers just got baited)
Winning games and money, the reason every athlete plays sports.
Stop being cheap and you’ll get the first part down again
I think if he really wanted to be there he’d be taking summer classes.
But forreal, congrats on the recruiting haul. Juwan is moving up in the world
I seem to have forgotten about the winning part. I don’t recall Illinois winning too many tournament games in recent times. Guess it’s nice that kids playing for mid programs are getting in on the NIL action though
Ok let’s unpack this. What was stopping him from taking summer classes?
They likely have never been enrolled in any university before and don’t understand what the toefl is.
Pull up my post that says admissions wasn’t a PART of this.
Strawman arguments aren’t getting you very far here.
Oh, and the answer to my question was desire to play for your program. So sad.
So we agree admissions was a part of this?
Then why is me saying this had to do with admissions a spin?
Well let’s be clear then.
Do you think me saying admissions were a part of this is a spin?
If you are saying it’s a PART of it, it’s not spin.
If you are saying it’s all or the main reason, it’s spin (and you are lying to yourself)
50/50, I mean even Hunter wanted out.
Not exactly the best time to be asking that hypothetical
So we both agree that he voluntarily decided not to attend Michigan, right?
