Thanks for clarifying. I am mistaken. All these rules are convoluted.

To think how crazy this offseason has been already and the main recruit hasnt even started yet, Kofi.
Exciting time to be an Illini basketball fan right now! Can it be November now, please??

Very, very happy right now. Trent is that player you WANT to have on your team because he brings it on both sides of the ball AND provides that spark just when you need it. Welcome back TF!!
I saw a plumbers truck that said “he was #1 in the #2 business. Glad TF is back. Gosh with Plummer. and TF gives us a lot of experience and depth.
Is it odd Kofi hasn’t even announced he’s entering the draft? Is he going to?

Forgot the exact date but it’s late May to enter and early/mid July to withdraw. Draft combine is late June. This won’t be over for quite a while.
Nice that Payne was added to the roster to ensure a back-up or replacement for Kofi.
Payne, Plummer and (essentially) Trent as roster additions so far this offseason on top of an exciting freshman class. What a couple weeks for the staff and the roster.
YEAH!

It means there’s an easy 130k to be made by foregoing this year. It means going pro is easy call, or that’s what he’s suggesting

The flip side is that that's pocket change if he can get into the first round next year.
I think hes suggesting that Kofi took money from an agent.
According to someone in the comments the insinuation is that he's taken money from an agent.
Agents give prospective pros money? Shouldn’t it be the other way around? Player paying for agent services? Sorry, I’ve never been a professional player.

I don’t know his family background but if he comes from limited means that money could be life changing for them in Jamaica. Hope that’s not the case but if it is I can certainly understand why he would not wait another year regardless.
