If the $2M is not a legit offer, are we still engaged or has this ship sailed?That was the rumored amount Thursday when we said we were out.

Grad transfers always had immediate eligibility (granted, they didn't always have a 5th year, but that'll end soon). I don't understand how Coleman leaving (or even Goode and Dain for that matter, who also graduated) is the event causing so much consternation about the effects of the transfer portal on collegiate basketball. Of all the transfer portal impacts to lament, players leaving that graduated from their university ain't it, imho. Those guys will always have a diploma from the U of I on a wall in their home/office and our own desires as fans shouldn't blind us to the fact that each of them has as much -- if not way more -- invested in this University as any one of us.
The sport is unrecognizable from what it has been for its entire century-long history and my patience with make-believe to the contrary is waning.
IMHO much of this are misinformation being spread by the agents since there are no real way of independently verifying all this exorbitant amount.Apparently that $2 million BYU offer for Egor was bogus.
Got that, just curious where the information is coming from stating that the $2mill figure was bogus.That was the rumored amount Thursday when we said we were out.
There are kids being promised a number then end up getting 1/4 of that number or less. I will say we are very honest with our NIL offers with kids.IMHO much of this are misinformation being spread by the agents since there are no real way of independently verifying all this exorbitant amount.
Heard rumors that the ship has not sailed. Also heard he is staying in Madrid so who knows.If the $2M is not a legit offer, are we still engaged or has this ship sailed?
What the players deserve is what the players have always deserved: the fruits of their labor.I mean that's cool if you don't want to think of the players as human beings with their own needs/wants. It was a lot easier/simpler when we were able to just ignore that part.
"Always" = since 2006Grad transfers always had immediate eligibility
I like those rumors....at least the ones that are related to the ship not sailingHeard rumors that the ship has not sailed. Also heard he is staying in Madrid so who knows.
Don't confuse needs and wants. Very different things.
I cannot wait to see this young man in O&B. He will be special.
I am losing interest rapidly in college basketball.
I guess now we're ignoring the fact that regular undergrads aren't revered celebrities.I mean that's cool if you don't want to think of the players as human beings with their own needs/wants. It was a lot easier/simpler when we were able to just ignore that part.

People better accept the fact he will be back in college next year playing elsewhere.
Oh and anyone who hates on the kid for it needs to get lost.

Coleman getting ready to say......."Watch This!"
You can't beat that name. (I cannot call myself Great 'my last name'.) Based on the same reason, I don't think CH will get $2M+. LOL!

Yes, I'm implying CH isn't a person.How would that make it any different? Does that imply that they aren't people, or that they aren't students, or that their needs/wants are somehow different or less important as a result? Or that because they are celebrities they have to follow the will of the people who look up to them?
