Between having knocked out the 2021 class already (at least on paper) and the likelihood of having few scholarships available for the 2022 class (Muila the only scholarship junior on this year's roster?), the coaching staff can really put a lot of time into a smaller pool of kids that they really want to focus on for the 2022 class ... a quality over quantity situation, and plenty of time to build those relationships. Bodes well.

Illinois Wolves, hmmm....who is their coach?
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.
James Madison
Not sure the Dawgs will have a scholarship available for 2022, but here is a name to watch.
Connor Turnbull, 6'10" Center from Fort Zumwalt North High School.
This kid looks REALLY good. If we could get either him or Robbie Avila, along with Jalen Quinn or one of the other combo guards we're looking at, that would be a great class.
Here's an in-depth feature on one of Southern's top 2022 targets, Jalen Quinn. Talented Illinois Wolves kid from Tuscola. SIU is noted as one of the schools who have offered (along with Loyola and several others), but Quinn says he is going to let the AAU season play out before zeroing in on a decision.

Would be nice to get some high-end Illinois Wolves talent. Maybe becomes easier with Moser out of the picture. Winning will start to bring in that talent for sure.
Think this means us but none of our coaches are following him so could always be SIUe

Looks like it is us.
