East Lansing's local newspaper had Illinois number 2 in big Ten preseason rankings. People high on Illini.
They're high on something, that's for sure.

Of course if this same roster played for Clownzo, and he didn't make the NCAAs, we would be all over him, laughingly wondering "How can that guy take two five star recruits and NOT make the tournament?" But with Underwood, we cautiously hope he will make the tourney, but hey, no biggie if we're just .500 and miss the tournament. He's building something!
Pretty close though.Kofi is big, but not that big.
When is it time to sound the alarm on Kofi not signing?
Asking for a friend.
Except the minor fact that it is 6 days after the start of the signing period, there's literally zero indication. I know, probably just the pessimistic Illini fan in me but until the signature is on the line it is a fair question.There's literally zero indication he wont sign. Waiting on his mom is 100% a valid excuse. Maybe he already has, maybe the university is waiting until the class is more complete to announce everyone. Maybe he hasn't signed, but until theres even hints that he's having second thoughts I think we need to trust this kid.
Both Ayo and Kofi were 5-stars at various times. And yes, I know they weren’t consensus or 5-stars at graduation, but those annoying details have never stopped us from slamming other coaches in similar situations. In any case, the point is the same — with the same roster and similar results, a lot of us would rip Cuonzo or other coaches, and make excuses for our own.

Ominous?Kofi is negotiating from a position of strength.

Welcome aboard big guy.Kofi has signed. We can breathe easy.
Christ on a cracker, TC! Insinuation, without evidence, is extremely bad form.
Kofi has signed. We can breathe easy.
Well playedHaha, he's signed.
EXACTLYKofi only getting spot minutes is a laughable take.
Yes, we saw it on a picture of January in the last month or two, but it's new. Check out the basketball uniforms thread?So that's the white Flying Illini uniforms with the rebranded number font. Have we seen that before?
.....and committed.Anyone else notice he spelled recruited wrong?
