If Trent is coming back, what happened between his declaration and now that changed things so quickly?

Seriously, he declared two days ago.

And of course Ryan Schroat. Staff has to love him.

This changes everything. Brother just confirmed it on twitter.....Dad did earlier. Trent was leaving hints on instagram. Will be official on Tuesday. WOW

 

[Joel Goodson]

Whatever happened, I don't care. Just glad he's back. Near perfect mentor and teammate for the new guys. Plus, he can play a bit too.

Making a comment about someone you virtually know nothing about is an invitation for making a fool of one's self. Mea culpa.

No apology necessary. This is the type of guessing and opinions that are the best on here. And this is the internet, you just need to double down and say "recruiting is fluid" if you have no way to wiggle out of it.

 

[WINT]

All PR backcourt?

 

[illiniswish09]

Trent back is so big for the culture. Let’s get this thang rollin again baby

 

[Joel Goodson]

Pretty likely Damonte is back too, tight?

 

[LvilleILL]

Pretty likely Damonte is back too, tight?

Have not heard an official yes on Damonte, but I would guess yes.

 

[illini27jake]

Illinois still after Plummer or are they set at guard now? Curbelo / Trent / Plummer rotation at the 1-2 spots sounds nice.

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Am I the only one who can’t figure out what this a reaction to or do the 26 people who liked the post just like that something apparently happened without knowing what it is?

 

[Emerson Bigguns]

Can we start a TMFF trend? Getting him for year 5 solves a lot of potential issues with roster construction, not to mention leadership void.

 

[WhiteHorseWings]

Mc lung in portal

 

[Fanview]

Trent and Monte scholarships don't count, right?

 

[PTPer]

Ideally, we run it back with last years team, and add Tre Mitchell to replace Ayo’s spot in the starting lineup. Grandison can shift to the 3, which is a more natural position for him. And hopefully if DMW and Frazier are back, Miller is back too.

He's got coach written all over him.

Great news.

I suspect Miller ain’t comin back if Trent is

 

[FromTheLogo]

Trent? #Unfinishedbusiness.

 

[OldYeller]

Wow. Trent being back would be sweet. Forget the portal, Trent is one of my favorites ever. We’ll need his defensive presence. And leadership. And without Ayo, I bet he’ll be back on that let if fly scoring mentality. Here for it. Hell yes

 

[LvilleILL]

We will see how it unfolds in the coming week, but it should not affect Adam's decision on coming back.

I am sure you are not the only one, but 26 of us are 95% sure what he is referring to....

 

[mhuml32]

Frazier coming back is going to require me to deep-dive into the scholarship grid thread.

 

[dweb3221]

Trent back. Podz likely. Damonte likely back. Miller possibly. Kofi possibly. Would love to see Tre Mitchell as another big.

Does all of this seemly put us out on TyTy?
