Scholarships can be given up. I remember a kid at Duke doing it a few years ago. Regarding the timing, I would guess that it would just have to be before someone else needs it.
They're going to offer him too at Ayo's presser tonight?
He is highly ranked, but (as with the tweet) many consider him a 4* player. I believe he is a 5* talent, very steady in his game.
If the product of play, especially guard play is good we should be in a good position. Blue bloods or not. A lot can also change in 2-3 years, many of the blue blood coaches aren't getting any younger (Cal, K, Deputy Dog, Izzo).
Dang, Wake is going to offer Adam Miller?
First cake I saw was a Wake Forest cake that said "Happy Birthday Adam." I didn't connect the dots to Adam Miller.
Seriously, I have also seen Adam several times in Peoria and he's the real thing. Let's hope he's on the Illini train as a dual Manual/Morgan Park pipeline guy!

The guys going over there with poser Deacon names and getting (rightfully) dunked on....those gotta be Scout posters, right? I refuse to believe that's anyone from this board.
I got you. I am not sure about the timing, but I am sure that if a player wants to give up his scholarship and pay his own dime, the coaching staff would be all for it. In that example its like have 14 bonafide scholarship players when you only have 13 spots. You would get 14 scholarship players without having to go through that oversign by one, figure it out later situation.

LOL Google Wake Forest demon deacon cake and see what image comes up first!
Or....or....now this may sound crazy....the person who took that picture came from the future....because you see the powers that be that you know.... run everything....the government....the NCAA....Facebook...took that picture in the future and put it on one of the first Google pics under WF deamon cake so we would think that didn't happen today and that it wasn't a warning for us but yet it..... was. I'm on to them. The truth will be revealed!!!

To get everyone in the mood, MOB is running down some announcement day memories (btw, the entire Dosunmu family, including Leftfielder - Dale Moss, grandfather -- has gone to the black avatar. Mike calls it recruitment performance art).

Landing Trent Frazier, Mark Smith, and Ayo in two years would be quite the reversal from where we were before that with regards to lead guards.
Are we about to become PG University? It would be enough to make even JG swear.
Quite often faculty brats get discount or free tuition at their parent's school. Don't know if that's the case with Illinois. But that's a plum the school can throw faculty in contract negotiations that really doesn't cost the school all that much, while sweetening the deal for faculty whom it benefits.
But I don't know about Illinois, but it would lessen the costs for the Underwoods w/o taking a scholarship from the bb program.

It's crazy to imagine becoming a new destination for skilled PGs. But sign me up for that. :thumb:
Nothing is for certain......
but if he is going to Wake Forest Ayo is really screwing with a lot of people. Don't think he would do this to Chin if his father and the Irvin's are really as tight with Chin as they say.
If it was Wake......the Illinois side would know and it would be out.

If the careers of Damonte and Ayo (if he commits) go well and they love it here...we have to be in the drivers seat for AM right.
I hope!

In my experience, anyone working at a state school gets discounted tuition at any in-state public university. to the tune of 50%.

I don't think he would be screwing anybody. He has to make the best decision for himself, if he thinks it is Wake so be it, but I hope he picks Illinois.
If it's true that he had the coaches set it up and he said one thing over another then yes, he would be screwing them over. At this age you should hold yourself to a higher standard and if you ACTUALLY shook your hand on one thing and then turn your back at the last second it shows character. That being said, I have not seen anything from this young man to show he would do that.
