No. Mr Podz always handled himself with dignity and class. No chance he comes here with a different name to slam Underwood.

I judge by what they have done in college. If it’s overall work it’s Deron Williams. I don’t think it’s close.
Kofi’s time at Illinois can be compared to anyones if he comes back and has any level of success.
As someone that is tea-leaf-less, care to elaborate on what these leaves are and what they mean?
Better players leave sooner ...to me to be the goat is best player ever means you were the best player not about asterisks. Kofi isn't that.. he may be the best college player statistically. Skill wise and athletically he clearly is not.
If Kofi goes pro, it will be a win for us as well.
Not if he doesn't get drafted and make the NBA. How can it be? I think it could be a win if an NIL player made a $1,000,000 as an Illini.
I hope he is making the right decision because this literally make sad because I don't feel he is getting wise advise. I get you want it but it's a risk, take the sure thing and to some degree listen to the experts. The NBA will be there.

Hey Insiders, any insight into a transfer option to fill Kofi's role? I know you all alluded to something being in the works previously. Care to share? 
That’s fine I respect your opinion I have a big problem with people stirring the pot. Your point is right though my apologies
You’ll know tomorrowHey Insiders, any insight into a transfer option to fill Kofi's role? I know you all alluded to something being in the works previously. Care to share?
Kofi will announce he is returning tomorrow. I wonder what dominoes will fall after the announcement.
Over my head. No worries.
I do not know why? He isn't the goat but how is a 2 time all american leaving that will likely go undrafted a good thing. Dain and Hawk can't fill his shoes. No one in the portal can either.
I think he is betting on himself...we all do that when we're young...go get em Kofi!

What’s grandison’s timeline to announce return or not? I thought I remember Kofi’s was the 26th but wasn’t sure if his was the same.
Unfortunately, in 2022, they can now deep fake video. You can't even trust video anymore!
I am remarkably ambivalent about Kofi's potential return. We would almost certainly be a better team with him. But I also think we might be a more entertaining team if the primary game plan was something other than pound it inside to Kofi over and over, just to watch him get mauled.
Is he ever..and no we all don't bet a couple million on ourselves if he stayed two years....I will agree Go Get em Kofi! I wish you nothing but the best!
The number of problems with using early entry as a measuring stick of talent are copious, especially across eras.
It was reported that an announcement was not necessary to announce an announcement....
I was just at my kids soccer game and ran into a guy who ran into Kofi today. Kofi was wearing a Brian Cook jersey. Good sign amirite?

Last time - he declared with just a tweet, no announcement and when he said announcement with the same emoji - he said he was coming back
I think he’s back. There’s nothing to gain by dragging out declaring for the draft
