Once again it's not the money. He didn't feel slighted by the money he got last year. He made a good chunk of change for a 22yo. He isn't leaving because he can make more elsewhere.
Getting rid of the Covid seasons will help, that's true.
That sounds like a great narrative, but considering it has been said over and over and over rhat Colehawk and Domask would get their NIL taken care of if they chose to come back and NIL money wouldn't be an issue , makes it more likely other factors were in play.
Bump....just so we can stop talking about Coleman lol
This post makes it abundantly clear you haven't been paying attention. CoHawk made it very clear he would be transferring outside of the B1G. He stated he saw every B1G team as a rival (paraphrasing here) and would never do something as despicable as suit up for a rival.
Maybe that isnt the reason he is leaving IL but the way I understood his interview on the field of 68, he was entering the portal to essentially maximize money potential. So maybe not the reason he left us, but he is trying to do so anyways. At this point for CH, what determines if he goes pro vs the portal? Is it pride of which draft pick round, best development, or money? Even throwing money out, which one would help his development more? In the end it is what is best for him and I do wish him the best.
It's just the easiest/stock answer to give. Portal vs NBA all depends on draft stock after combine and his knee.
Going pro vs. returning to college and returning to Illinois vs. transferring somewhere else are two different scenarios that can have different reasonings behind them.
If you are going to include Butler who never got here, you need to include Morez and Jack
.Speaking of which, do any of the highly rated incoming freshman get big bags as well?
Dads everywhere are proud of you though.
I’d like to see the NCAA create a 5th year option as a reward for kids who graduate. Reward them with a chance to get more NIL, education, and skill development if NBA/overseas could be an option.
I think people fail to realize that Coleman not only has a U of I degree, but he has a degree from the Brad Underwood school of basketball. From what I have read, he was running some practices by the end of the year. Coleman has an extremely sharp mind for the game. Brad may not be the guy best suited to challenge him anymore. From a development standpoint it might be best for him to seek another perspective on the game.
