This is not a case that should go to trial from everything I've seen. Not saying it is not possible, but just seems so improbable that the risk of sending a young man to jail and/or ruin his reputation is so great that I just don't see any evidence to support the allegations.

The kangaroo court continues.

I hope that we can land Demin, but I'm less concerned about that position than pure PG (last year) and Center (this year). There are probably 5-7 SGs out there that I believe we can sign for what we offer as in NIL and overall program. There is probably another 5 top tier types that will become...

I still like Coward as our SG, does everything.

This made my day, an Illjni for life. For all the NIL stuff, great to see our players leaving with degrees

I wonder if there is visa restrictions by US or Russia that have been placed over last two years. I'm sure there are Russian tennis and hockey players in US.

The teams that don't have large roster turnover haven't yet adjusted to the new world of NIL. Most top tier teams will have significant roster turnover from last year. I feel confident that the 5-6 players BU/Illinos has brought in are more skilled then the 5-6 that left.

I feel confident in two posters who might be insiders or have info before the rest if us. There is also posters who make definitive statements on 50/50 future events. These are just educated guesses. I'm not yet convinced on Demin, will see.

On a podcast I heard yesterday, one of the reporters said Illinois is prioritizing Egor Demin. But there is a very good SG that wants to commit to Illinois that hasn't been linked to them so far. He feels very confident that if Egor falls through that Illinois will pivot to this transfer...

Heard rumor while back that Illinois may play in the Emerald Coast classic, any truth (Destin, Florida) to that? Beleive it is a Thanksgiving tourney

I anticipate KU will have to deal with more of this stuff. More than glad to get a mid-major player like Lathon or Coward.

Someone mentioned Coward a couple days ago and I jumped on the band wagon. Sounds like he is Washongton St. to lose if he drops out of draft. His former coach at EWU and former teammates are there. Crazy how talented players coming from small programs then to mid majors are now high major...

Just looking at catch and shoot numbers....K. Richmond ranks very low (2 percentile) and C. Coward (93 percentile) very high. Lathon was in the 60's and Poplar was in the low 70's percentile. When I look at shot motion and release time, very impressed with Coward. He looks like a very confident...

Just saw Cedric Coward portal video, I agree he would look good in orange and blue. Looks like a pro, lots of length for a SG, 6-6. Built like Storr, likely not as explosive leaper but he is a good athlete. Shoots high 3pt percentage, quick release, needs little room and time. Can play "booty...

For those that didn't like my Rienk Mast comparison to Tomislav from last week, Jeremy Werner just called him a "longer Rienk Mast".
