Why would he do something stupid like that when he could have chosen Illinois? I guess we didn't want him anyway

Next words from the basement "Mom I need a grilled cheese sandwich!!". Sorry, this make no sense.
Haters gon hate
Oh damn I love grilled cheese... I may have to call my mom.
the only outcome here that to me is negative is transferring (which sounds like a distant third option).
Obviously there are exceptions, but having pro alum is fantastic for the school and team and we got three excellent seasons from Kofi. He owes this schools nothing. And I’m confident the staff will find good use for his scholarship next year.
I feel much better about this teams make up moving forward than I did last year when Kofi put his name in the portal.

If Kofi was capable of shooting from the outside at a high rate, I'm pretty sure BU would give him the green light and it would amount to more wins. Also, that would raise his NBA draft status, which ipso facto means BU would be coaching him to send him to the next level. So...I am gonna call BS on this whole line of thinking.

I'm a gummy bear addict.................I really really am ....................the question is why ??..................is it my lifestyle choices , such as 420 and NL 's ??..Or . does this board warrant responsibility for making me dependent on those delicious little cute bundles of THC & CBD.........This is a serious question......in the course of 1 day , ONE DAY , we can transform from reasonable people in society to such a group of incoherent fanatics exploring every angle , no matter how silly or unbelievable those thoughts are ............
This board is a one gummy bear at a time limited experience excursion..........Two gummy's at a time and being on this board is like walking on a bed of hot coals........gotta try and walk those coals but afterward's your feet are blistered beyond recognition but you don't care ........You showed the masses you have the gonads to put your thoughts out there , no matter how disturbed they seem to be ...........\
Me likey ...............every day , me likey ..............................is there something REALLY wrong with me ??....................Go ahead , I can handle it .....I really really can..
Nope , delete that thought .....I can't really handle it ...........I really really can't..................................................
Well, I definitely agree with your first part...Kofi will break records if he comes back. But, I'm not sure it's even possible that he will be the greatest player ever at Illinois. Ayo comes to mind for a variety of reasons, not the least being the resurgence of Illinois basketball. Deron Williams. Nick Anderson. Eddie Johnson. Derek Harper. Kendall Gill. Dee Brown. Ken Norman. I think all of those names could be considered as great, or greater than Kofi. Of course, just my opinion. I would go with Ayo for so many reasons. Plus, he'll be a star in the NBA where Kofi probably won't be. No criticism of Kofi, but not sure he is athletic enough for the NBA. Hope he proves me wrong.
No doubt. I was confused by his statement about Coach not coaching him for the next level.
If he sets the Illinois all time points and rebounds records before he goes, alongside the team achievements of BTT and conference titles, I think that counts for quite a bit in the "best" conversation. Here's hoping he hangs a few more banners before he leaves.

Pru... brother... you all among all of us should should understand in your timeless wisdom that Loyalty abhors a vacuum of idiocy. Or that foolish commentary slows to a pace sufficient to fill the time allotted to it. Or something along those lines.
Is it 5 p.m. yet?
Kofi isn’t announcing an announcement to leave
You're overthinking it. You announce that you're declaring. If Kofi is going to the NBA, he obviously isn't going to say "Declaring tomorrow" -- that gives away what the choice is.
I don’t do gifs but it is a reference to a song…my bad
I have a question for the Insiders on here since everyone seems to have heard multiple scenarios with Kofi.
Is there a recent recruiting situation/player announcement that is comparable to this one where everybody seems in the dark so close to the decision? I feel like once the announcement time is set, most on the board or on twitter seem confident they know the end result.
Obviously as you have all said, things can change quickly, so there could be more clarity in the upcoming hours, but usually you all seem to know how things are going to go for better or worse by this point. Is this way out of the ordinary or more common than we might think? @illini0440 @LvilleILL @Indy Illini Fan

I’m hoping he returns, but I sincerely doubt the chance to break records will have anything to do with the decision.
Likely three time All American, among career leaders in many stats. Etc. I don’t think “greatest player in Illinois history” is about how well they do after leaving Illinois. It’s about what they did while they were here.
I get what you are saying though. But if Kofi is a three time AA and become the career points leader for Illinois, he’s probably the best ever in my book.
I didn’t say that was part of his reasoning. Just said it will happen.
This is a really good post. I've been saying Ayo is the best I've ever seen in O&B but Kofi is by far the most dominant. But you make a good point that's very hard to argue.
