I saw a guardian booster (a cardiovascular surgeon from Chicago) post it was around a million. He could have been overstating it though. I heard 750 mentioned on WDWs on Monday night but on Sat morning and the person from U of I overseeing NIL wouldn't say. He said that's Kofis business. It will not be disclosed by them. Still it's clearly a chunk of cash.

That's not good for his future. Commentators were mentioning at the MKE/CHI game the other night that NBA bigs have to have a game established beyond the paint to be effective.

Levi Cobb opened back up the public league of Chicago at the time. Eddie Johnson came because of Levi and Audie Matthews.
Would be a solid Kofi replacement
LOOK: Antonio Reeves on his visit to Kentucky
Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves visited Kentucky this weekend and shared pictures on Instagram of himself in a Kentucky jersey.

I suppose then that his "dream" of playing in the NBA is exactly that. It also validates the concerns from scouts, mock drafts, as well as his "camp" leveraging for more NIL dough?
This makes sense. I remember seeing him put in a ton of work up to the NBADraft, but not much after.
The kid has got that "it" factor that Brad just loves. Trent had it, Ayo had it, Feliz had it. He's going to be an absolute BEAST
Didn't JJ spend most of his life in "Iilinoise?"
I thought once you enter portal once you must sit a year if enter a second time? am I wrong on that?
It's a one time "transfer" option, not one time portal. Since he stayed at Illinois, he is still eligible for immediate transfer.
Oh ok thanks for clarifying that. Im not a fan of the rule but it is what it is.
Well that sucks to hear.
We're talking about Kofi right?

is it true that kofi never got concussed during the purdue game? that the time off was just a mental/physical breather?
Hadn't heard that one yet. Had heard the same rumor but with respect to Curbelo.
yeah
He took a very strong shot to the face from Edey and did not look right the rest of the game. Seemed like a pretty clear cut concussion.
Nah I heard he went to Disney World during that "break"
/s
Because he’s “an Island boy” that is already dominant.
This is what it seems like outwardly too. Not trying to be too critical, but this is the time of year you usually see players putting some major sweat equity into their individual games so they can get to the next level. From the outside it seems like Kofi is using this time to take a little break from it all. Which is totally fair, BTW. But it does give the impression that he's not obsessed with improving his game like many elite players are.

Thanks for the replies to you and others. It’s not really worthy of any more discussion, but here is where my thinking came from:
NBA G League 101: How Rosters Are Built - The GLeague
Look at an NBA G League roster and you will see players at different stages of their careers who took different paths to the pros: Recognizable names from high-profile schools; lesser-known small-school hopefuls. Undrafted players looking to catch eyes; NBA players assigned to gain seasoning...

“A player who has not yet entered the NBA Draft can instead enter the NBA G League and maintain his NBA Draft eligibility.
If the player signs with the NBA G League before the season, he is eligible for the NBA G League Draft. If he signs mid-season, he is available for NBA G League teams to claim in the league waiver pool.”
