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.
agents will often give players money to get them through to their first contract. I think it's generally a loan.

Let's never forget: Ben Wilson wore #25 at Simeon, and that's why Nick wore the same number at Illinois, he has said, to honor Ben Wilson.
Please please Draino. If he wears #25, any relationship we still have with Simeon is trashed.

I meant Plummer. https://illinois.rivals.com/news/transfer-guard-alfonso-plummer-is-headed-to-illinois When we beat Florida...that means he is willing it to be -17 in Feb. instead of 75. To me....if a team is in the top 20-25 every year....they are a BLUE BLOOD!
Oh No GIF

Blue Bloods (legacy programs, over the history of college basketball):
* Kentucky
* UCLA
* North Carolina
* Kansas

And due to performance over the last 30 years, I would suggest that Duke has replaced Indiana as #5 on that list. Michigan State is making a good run of late to also overtake Indiana as #6 of all-time....but I'd say not quite yet.

Kofi should announce tomorrow! Will enter and hire and NCAA certified agent. So we won’t know that answer for a couple of months. Guards wise-Miller is still not done yet. They will add one more guard. If Kofi goes they will get possibly a 4 and 5 transfer as well. I still expect one or two guys who didn’t play last year to transfer.

Other than that fact that I know nothing of Miller's intentions, I think you've perfectly summarized where things stand as of April 17. And DaMonte should now be next up in the discussion.

Miller is gone. Kofi will be back after declaring. Hamlin and possibly Verdonk are gone.
